Individuality

What does it mean to be an individual? The answers are endless

because we are all our own self and the definition can vary. Even

dictionaries have multiple results, but it's basically what you

believe. Even though many people have different

opinions on the subject, it is important to be an individual because

it defines who you are and there is more than one way to be an

individual.

Many people have different opinions, but to me, being an

individual means to have qualities and characteristics that

distinguish one person or thing from another. There are numerous

characteristics and traits common to two people, yet on the other

hand there are some that set them apart. There are no two

individuals that are identical, there is always something that

makes you one of a kind. For example, no two snowflakes are the

same so each one that falls is unique. Another example that shows

that many people have different opinions is that they think being

an individual means being isolated and alone, but don't be

mistaken, it simply means having personal independence.

Even though people may think differently, it is still important to

be an individual because there are multiple ways to show your

originality. Your personality is a big part of individuality, you can

be witty, out-going, shy or secretive, either way that
