New web log entry, a challenge, describe yourself.  Hmmm.

I am a writer
a daughter
a teacher
a student
an artist
a friend
a sister
a clown
a tech

I am the writer of a book - The Amulet.  It is still being written and hopefully will be published someday.
I am a daughter.  I am a daughter of a loving Mother and Father who have helped me and carried me through many things.
I am the teacher of many things.  I teach my siblings their school when Mom's not around.  I teach my elvish to a friend who wants to read my book.  I teach many things.
I am a student.  I am a high school student.  I am a student of the Bible for it has many things to teach.  I am a student of my Mom in the kitchen and other places.
I am an artist.  I draw portraits of people.  I bring their images, their likeness, to paper.
I am a friend.  I am a friend in many ways.  I listen when people need to talk.  I cry with those who need to cry.  I put an arm around those who are in need of one.
I am a sister.  I am a sister to two brothers and one sister.  They are the best (and sometimes worst) people in my life.
I am a clown (NO! REALLY!).  Some would call it a job.  I call it a privilege.  To see the looks of happiness on kid's faces is one of the best things ever.
I am a tech.  To me that means I have worked at the best camp ever.  I have worked for a week in the best kitchen with the best staff ever.  An experience I will never forget and will do again.
Hannah.

MiLady,

You broke the first rules. . .not to mention your family or job!  But I can understand why.  Several women have been unable to leave their connection to their families out of this challenge!  Thank you for your participation!  You've been linked and starred~Kween

Very nice post. I wanted to put my family too. After all that helps define who we are in so many ways. peace

Great post! I also wanted to add something about my family. It's hard to know someone without knowing where they came from, I think.

Eh, I broke the rule too. I don't think it's possible to define yourself without your connection to both friends and family. Everything we have done and everything that we are has developed through interaction with others. Even if we leave those connections out, they still exist.

I didn't even notice you broke the rules.  ;)  It is very difficult to define yourself without mentioning your family.  I had to really think about my life before I became a mother in order to do that.

Great entry. I couldn't do this challenge without breaking the rule, either. I think our roles in life define us, and our definition of ourselves is constantly changing. Thanks for sharing!

It is very hard for women to define themselves outside of family and job.  Both seem to be very intertwined with who we are.  You definitely seem to enjoy both.  Lovely post.
