There are many ways to identify who we are. But who we are does not depend on the circumstances of your life, nor what you do for a living, nor the roles we play, nor our beliefs or affiliations. These are the false identities we tend to cling to. You open yourself up to more possibilities – and more of who you really are! One thing about my identity is my name. We all get a name at or before birth or maybe even later. My name was Reilly Grace Agadoni, but that’s not just my name; it’s something that’s part of who I am. It's a unique name for my family. My name was just something my mother found in a book and thought it would suit me. His origin was Irish and this also means that Reilly is “brave and valiant”. It's funny because I'm not even Irish, not at all. My middle name came from my great-grandmother, Grandma Grace. The origin of the name is Latin. She died some time ago. But she and her name no longer belong to me. My last name is Italian, so my whole family is Italian. We tend to love eating and drinking and are strongly attached to our family, including extended family. I was also adopted so that could add more family. My biological parents were also Italian, which was a coincidence. A good coincidence though! Another origin of my identity is that of my family. My family is a very important part of everyone's life. It’s about who they were raised by and how they were raised and taught. There is a photo somewhere that has my whole family in it. It was when I was a baby and my brother Max was almost a teenager. And my parents looked younger than they do now. We have all changed over the past few years. Since then, we have grown and learned a lot. I was a newborn then and I had just been adopted and I was in the middle of paper... and I became stronger from the words that people said to me and I used to really think about these words. what people said was true and I thought a lot less about myself. I thought I didn't deserve better, and that's not true because I did and should have gotten what I deserved, but it never happened. There was always some sort of rumor that would make me feel like shit and make me feel like I was in hell because of it. But I'm happy to say that I'm happy now and I don't care what people say negatively about me. I no longer make negative comments because I am now homeschooled and can work on my studies much harder than ever. I didn't know I could be homeschooled because I thought I still wouldn't like having friends, but that didn't come true. I am now training for tennis and working very hard at it! I have now changed positively.
