Gender and my Identity

GENDER and MY IDENTITY Growing up I saw the roles of each gender different, but equally important and challenging. My parents had the task of raising and supporting seven children. At times it was very difficult, it still is today. Their duties very distinctly different, but at the same time connected.

…and the right way to live my life. I was surrounded by love and that’s what made me the loving and caring person I am today. In conclusion, it is clear to see the difference in roles between the genders, but in my life the role of one gender could not function successfully without the other. Both genders together shaped and molded me and my brothers and sisters to the people we are today.
