Identity Portfolio Part 2
Internal Dimensions: I am 21 years old, male, straight, college athlete, white, and I would say I am an extroverted. I am a very outgoing person and love to socialize to people.
External Dimensions: Regarding geographic location, I would love to work in part of Virginia because I do love Virginia and would love to stay close to my family. Being a college baseball coach I would be making around 51k a year. Personal habits I like to do is hang out with my friends and also hang out with my girlfriend. Also, I love going and golfing with anyone who likes to go have fun out on the golf course. Talking about golf I have been working at Magnolia Green Golf Course for the past 6 years the experience I have is landscaping, washing carts, and cooking food. My religion is Christianity. I would love to graduate in the next three years and just get my bachelor’s degree and I would not stay in college any longer than that. I love to keep clean and also whenever I go out I love to dress casually. I have no kids currently but in the future I would love to have two kids. I would also love to get married in the next 5 years.
Organizational Dimensions: For the work field, Division/ department unit, and seniority I would like to be a head coach for a division 1 college baseball team. Work location I would like to stay in Virginia if possible but if I can’t I would go to another state. For political affiliation, I am a Republican. I am unemployed at the moment due to being in college.
Four identities I would like to talk about more about my life are personal habits, marital status, geographic location, and religion. These four identities are the most important to me because they represent my life best and will represent my family in the future with my wife and kids. Starting with personal habits I will always love having my alone time with my friends even if it’s at a bar or the golf course. Also, having alone time with my wife in the future for a date or any activity we would like to do outside of the house. Like mini golf or going to the movie theater. Marital status is huge to me because I would love to have a family and that would be the biggest goal to accomplish. The geographic location is big. I don’t think I could ever go too far from my family because I am a family person and I know I would love to always go visit and have time with them every week. Lastly, religion is big to me because I love being a Christian man and I would like to be a Christian. All the identities All four of these identities are met in the same dimension being external dimensions. These four identities would help me feel more positive, excited, welcomed, and self-esteem.
