I will either choose option 2 or option 3. For option 2, I might discuss how being mixed raced has molded me into the person I am now while addressing prior assumptions made about me and my culture.

# data[].attributes.body
I choose option 3 for my topic. Growing up my parents always taught me to love animals and to treat them right. I will be talking about animal cruelty because it has had a huge affect on my life.

# data[].attributes.body
Option 2 is the obvious choice for the topic. The communities that I will be discussing is friends, family, gaming, and work. All of them are different; therefore, how you interact is different

# data[].attributes.body
I am most likely going to be writing about option 2 because I can relate to it the most. I change a lot when I am with certain family members rather than with my friends. With both groups I have a good time, but I am definitely a lot more laid back with my friends.

I am reviewing your brainstorming/ideas for the essay, and what I am seeing here looks great! I am looking forward to looking at drafts during the peer review in week three. Don't forget to prepare a completed rough draft by Tuesday! You will have until the end of the day to upload it to the week 3 peer review forum.

At this time I'm going with option 2, because we really do speak, and interact differently depending on which part of our life we're participating in at the moment, hopefully it will foster some insight as well!

I am going to write about option two for my This I Believe essay. I will specifically be talking about how I change how I act when I'm at work vs when I am at home with my family or with friends

So I have an idea for each prompt, but I can't decide which one of them is the strongest?? I have too much to say about each topic, so my essay may be far too long.. For the first option, it was basically me against myself and the way I was told I was supposed to be. The second option, I was thinking, instead of talking specifically about one of my groups, talking about how I learned to balance all of my groups and find unity in my identity. My third idea is about my activism, and how my family raised me with certain beliefs, but didn't expect me to row with them in the way that I did... ?

# data[].attributes.body
I think I want to write about the second option, the way I change the way I act depending on whom I'm around. Specifically the way I act around my mom's family, who all live on a ridiculously large farm in Missouri, versus the way I act around my dad's wealthy family. It's like I become two very different people.

I will be write about option three, I have some beliefs I agree with my family on like marriage and others I don't agree with such as education.

I plan on writing on option two, since I will be able to relate it very closely with crossfit. I could go on about how crossfitters dress different than others and how all of us act differently, compared to other gyms. I could also spend time on focusing on the large community.

# data[].attributes.body
I am thinking I will either write about the first or the third topic. I might have a something big I overcame or I might write about the beliefs I grew up with.

# data[].attributes.body
I am going to do the first option because I have a very personal problem that I had to overcome previously in my life and I barely could clear the hurdle but now I want to share my story and tell anything is possible.

# data[].attributes.body
I am interested in the third option about what parents have instilled in me that i still believe. I have had many personal miracles in my life that I would be willing to share with the class in support to my essay.

# data[].attributes.body
I will write about the third option which is about believing in something my family instilled in me which is Christ and how I still believe in it.

# data[].attributes.body
I will most likely write on the first option. Which encapsulates my experiences being so young in my career and trying to overcome that.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to write on the disagreements my family and I have when it comes to politics, but how we still talk and discuss anyway
