Identy theft
For my essay number two, I choose to write about Identy theft. I choose this because I saw Sarah Oconner had her identy stolen, by her political boss type husband. I believe that this is an on going problem not only in our country but across to world, in every nationality and in all cultures. When we are children we have such big ideals of who and what we want to be. It was anything from a doctor to a business woman or a mommy with a sucessful husband, a beautiful house, and two boys and a girl. We believe that life will be perfect and we will be in love with our spouses forever. But sometimes life does not turn out like we had dreamed it. situations arise that mold us and shape use into somethig totally different from our dream. In the process we begin to lose something. What is the something? It is our very selves. It is who we are, our essence. Dont't act like you dont know what Im talking about. This kind of theft is more common than car theft. Sometimes we can allow the persuit for education, to without our knowledge to steal the essence of our very souls this is what I call identy theft. My professor made a very profound statement the other day in class he said " dont allow the persuit of a degree to steal your soul". Years from now if I dont remember anything else about his class I will remember those words he spoke that night.

I think, I know what you are talking about, I am referring to the situations where “in the process we begin to lose something”. As a child, and later as a young adult, I had some kind of picture of myself set in mind; and then years passed by, the early ideas escaped from my consciousness, influenced by brand new set of circumstances, I turned out to be someone different... I recall the TV series, I must have watched when I was a teenager, illustrating the life struggle of a man who went back to school as an adult. I remember a feeling of fear and sorrow... and look at me now - how ironic...
ReplyDeleteThe concept of using Identity Theft beyond what we see on TV takes some thought and I think that you have hit the nail on the head! It is so easy to get wrapped up in the comings and goings of life so much so that we lose ourself. That quote your professor said in class is profound and I plan to use that for whatever else I do in life.
