A life experience that shaped my Identity was being able to leave my hometown. This shaped my Identity because of the perspective that I got out of it with changing my settings and people I surround myself with in the terms of friends and different people I have met. The main message that I want to convey about this certain experience in my life is to get out of your neighborhood because the type of life you want to create for yourself, the type spouse you want, the type of place you want to settle and have a family, and/or where you want to live out your crazy 20s is out there and it may be across the world but you won't find it or even figure that out if you don't go and visit and see it.
