            There are many things that can define a person. It could be an object, a person, or even a quality. When asked what defines me, I think how you present yourself and how you act can truly define who you are. Actions play a huge part in defining who you are or how you are perceived because many people judge you based upon your actions. This may be unfair, but it is the main way to get to know and trust someone because you cannot see true thoughts or intentions without acting upon them.

            First impressions are very important when you enter into new relationships, friendships, and career paths.  I think the way you come off and present yourself to others can truly define who you are. If you present yourself in a respectful and friendly manor, you can give off a good impression to others. This can help you define yourself in a positive way.  Also your actions can define who you truly are because we are responsible for the choices we make that can affect others and ourselves. If we choose to make good decisions and choices this can define us in a positive way, and if we make bad choices this can define us in a negative way. Actions can define who you are by showing your likes and dislikes, your ethnicity, culture, and many other things that shape your identity.

            There are many things that can define a person. What I believe defines who I am, are my actions and the way I present myself to others. Your actions and first impressions can define your character in a positive or negative way based upon the choices you make.
