2. What is my identity?
I am a helpful and caring person who will always stop to give others a hand. This is a part of my identity as helping
others makes me who I am. My hobbies which include travelling, music and fashion are also factors in which help to
create my identity. I enjoy travelling as it allows me to discover something new and allows me to see life at a new
perspective. Travelling also allows you to take a break from reality and experience life in a new way and out of the
normality. Music is also an escape as most of the time artists give their opinions and thoughts on a real life subject
but portray it in a form of music to target the audience in a creative way. Listening to music also allows me to be
open to new things as there are many different genres of music, I like to include music in my everyday life. Fashion
also makes up my identity as the way I dress portrays a story to people and represents what my personality may be
like before I actually open up to anyone. I like to look at fashion and discover new styles which are not as
mainstream and look at brands such as ‘supreme’ as they create clothing and items which are different and
exclusive.

7. What does London mean to you?
London to me is home as I was born in London and have lived here ever since. Therefore I see London as
home before anything. London is also a diverse city which has many cultures in it. It is also a free country
in terms of the diversity and equality to all people regardless of race, sexuality, religion, gender etc.
London also allows individuals to express themselves through music, art, fashion and in many other
creative forms. London is also a city with beautiful architecture and many unusually shaped buildings.
The city also holds famous landmarks.
