Between the ages of 0-1, swimming was a big part of my play and development. During this age, I only had a big sister and brother, so my parents were very hands on and focused on me. Going to my Aunt’s home when I was a kid became a very big part of how I formed one of my very family-oriented identities that continues to stay with me today.

Another big identity of mine is as a granddaughter. I grew up around significantly older people than me up until my little brother was born, so I was taught and played with in an old-fashioned way. My grandparents on both sides of my family had different parenting styles than my parents, which formed itself as a large part of my identity when I would stay with them for extended periods of time. They allowed me to unlock a different identity from a young age, and let me into their world just a little bit.

From when I was born up until I was almost 3, my parents weren’t married. By the time this picture was taken at my parents’ wedding, my mom was about 7-8 months pregnant with my little brother, Holden. I remember it taking me a while to adjust to the idea of becoming a big sister because I recognized that my play would be different, as would the attention. My play around this time revolved mostly around me, and the shift between my life in this picture and a month later would drastically change when I would become a big sister. It obviously changed the way I perceived many things and the way my parents treated me. One of the first things I always identify myself as now is a big sister and a role model, which sprouted at this age.

By age 3, my play became focused around family and friends that are my age, which wasn’t something I was used to. I got to bounce my knowledge off of my cousin who had the same amount of understanding about things as I did, which I would come to appreciate. We proceeded to have a lot of the moments like we’ve seen in class, uninterrupted and unfiltered thought processes together that shaped my play when I was that age.

At age 4, my play revolved heavily around sports, which continued to stay with me until today. Being able to interact and enjoy time with other kids was vital to my growth, considering I hadn’t started public school, and wouldn’t start for another 4-5 years. The positive reinforcements I gained from playing many sports made me want to keep playing, as well as the positivity I received from my parents. I created an identity from the bonds I had made and the skills I learned from sports.

It was around 7-8 when I began to observe the world around me more deeply than I had before. Play became more realistic for me, though still pretending, it became about real-life scenarios instead of monsters and aliens. At 8 years old, my parents got divorced, which changed the way I interacted with those around me, and made me more aware of real life problems earlier than I should have been. Since then, my play became more about the real world and I used my observations to create worlds that I wished were true instead.

My identity around the ages of 9-10 was heavily influenced by the groups I was in, who I hung out with, and what we did. I began to get more involved in my community, began to make more friends, which opened many doors to discussions, play, and growth. My group of friends at this age influenced me to notice little things that would’ve normally gone unnoticed, and use the knowledge I already had to my advantage. I use my identity formed at this age to be social and outgoing, as well as spark conversations that benefit both me and the other person.
