Who+am+I?

My name is Jade Forsberg, I’m half Swedish (dad’s side), half Italian (mum’s side) but I’ve never lived anywhere other than the Caribbean. I can only speak one language fluently, English; but I also understand and speak small amounts of Italian, Swedish, Spanish and I’m learning French. I also have a younger sister and younger brother and as with most families, we have our arguments. You’d think that by having been in the Caribbean my entire life I’d be used to the climate by now, but I’m not and I much prefer the cold or at least a change of seasons every now and then. Although, I do love the beach and the laid- back lifestyle isn’t too bad all the time. I also love water sports, which is probably due to the fact that my parents would take me sailing when I could barely walk and I grew up around boats. Since then I’ve been surfing, wakeboarding, snorkeling, swimming and kitesurfing. I came to Codrington in MYP 2 so I’ve been here for about 4 years and not once in those 4 years have I ever been in a class with more than 7 people. Having moved from a school with 30 students per class and 150 per grade it was an interesting experience, but I adapted and got used to it so it’s all good. Now you know some facts about me, but you don’t actually know who I am. It’s easy and simple enough to give people facts about yourself and pass it off as who you are but to truly be able to describe who you really are is a much more difficult process; but then again, with difficulty comes ease, and with ease difficulty right? For starters, what is it that makes us who we are? I think that who we are runs much deeper than what we look like, how we act, what nationality we are and what our genes say about us. Who we are has a lot to do with how we feel and why we do certain things. It never matters what you do in life, the only important thing is how you feel about it and why you do it and it might involve your beliefs as well; but don’t take my word for it, I’m still trying to work my beliefs out. Now, I’d like to tell you who I am, there’s just one slight problem with that; I don’t really know who I am yet. However I do know one thing for sure; I’m a walking paradox. Well so I’m told anyway.
