Fortunately, I feel that I have found myself, I am proud of my own way and my own. Now, most people may not think that my point of view is the best way to live, but fortunately I do not care what people think of me. I like to stand out, I like different things, but less obvious; I am an ordinary person, I accept the fact that I am very strange, random, strange and extraordinary, I am really indifferent . As long as I am satisfied with myself, and as long as it is what I am doing, I have become this person who really does not care about external opinions, everything is okay.
In 1965, I was 18 years old and I was trying to find an identity as an African American in one of the most confusing times in American history at high school. Three civil rights workers who registered voters in the state of Mississippi were killed, ethnic riots occurred across the country, and I was called N from my high school basketball coach. In this country where I grew up, I feel that I am not only alienated but also actively disliked. The autumn TV season of 1965 brought a new NBC show called I Spy, which some of our friends are spying on. White, black, and I caught a glimpse of the hope of light in American mainstream culture. black? Black men have never played a leading role in television series programs so far.

Having gained the first place not only gave me a sense of security but also guaranteed me that people are listening to my story
For my identity, I capitalize what I think is most helpful to my identity. These are my family, religion, and school. I also contacted what I thought was a strong connection. What I am connected to is mainly the hobby I want to do. This is now my identity, but my identity is constantly changing ... I do not have a special system to solve identity problems.
