Problem
How would you define your "academic identity"? Analyze some specific characteristics of your personal identity and evaluate whether they have been welcomed i school or whether you have been encouraged to leave some aspects of yourself out of the classroom or out of your writing. Explain the characteristics of your identity, and explore any conflicts that have resulted from having t leave aspects of yourself out of the classroom. Then analyze whether having more opportunities to explore and develop your personal identity in school could help you develop more adaptable academic identities. Your argument should specifically explain the roles you have had to, or will have to, take on as a writer and learner and how your past experiences with identity empower your ability to adapt to diverse audiences, engage challenging issues, and productively solve problems in writing.
