Using the social identities list in the article "Social Identity," write down the social identities that apply to you. If you "own" additional social identities, which are not included in this article, make sure to include them in your list.

Beginning with the phrase, "I am…" and based on the social identities you just wrote, compose a list of at least 10 words or phrases that complete the sentence and represent some or all your social identities.
