Humanistic studies-Identity
essay
My Name Was
Not Just a Words
Identity is a traits of a person, personal
appearances such as name, birth, etc that makes different with other. In my
opinion identity is description of self, it is consists of personalities and specific
talent or excellences. Identity is more complex than just makes acquainted
with.
It just likes me. My identity, I am a student in
Sampoerna School of Education. I am Majoring at English Language Teaching
Department. I am a Javanese, my parents was Javanese too. I am quite person, I like to be talk less do
more. I do not like messy things. I like everything should be organized well. I
love music especially instrumental. If there is a color to present myself I
want to choose black. I like to do something by myself but I never ask other to
stay away from me. For my acquaintance, my name is Anik Biati, I am Muslim, and
I was born on November 24th 1993. I am a student in Sampoerna School
of Education.
When I was born many of my families member gave a
name, there was so many name for me but because of my grandpa was the oldest
was the one who allowed to gave me a name. He named me Anik Biati, it means
Anak yang Bakti. If I reflect through that name, my mom always said to me “be
nice”. I just think that words had wide meaning. I could be nice with myself it
means I should study hard, work hard, good at attitude, be humble etc. for my
future. I must be nice for my religion, responsible with my religion, pray five
times every day, read Al Quran, praying etc. for my life after died. Be nice
with other such as help the one who need it, interaction, tolerance etc. for my
better life or in the other hand it is help me for my future. Be nice with my
nation, follow the rules, learn history, love Indonesia, etc. The conclusion is I should Bakti to my families’
member, myself, my religion, my country, my friend and others.
I had an analyzed through my name. Anik mean Anak
because of I am a girl so it is become Anik. Then Biati means Bakti or Baik
Hati I think it is same. Anik Biati means there are so many kindnesses that
appear in me. This name was appropriate for me because I love to do kindness,
especially to my parents and my brother or even sometimes I had difficulties
with this name. people who call me make a weird sound, just like AniK, emphasized on K. it makes me
uncomfortable, so I make an acronym for my name, A.Bi from Anik
Biati it is better for me.
Anik Biati was very precious for me so I want not to
change it. Also there were prays for me, I belief that my grandpa gave the best
from the best things just for me because I was a grandchild from the oldest
son.
I was had some discussion with my friends about
identity and name, there were many opinions that I got. Then I learn that
identity is not just a name but identity is something that presented someone
specifically towards the personality, talent or excellences. Name is not a
combination of meaningless words, but name is a meaningful word that had prays
and reasons inside. Perhaps I could be more responsible with my name, should be
nicer than before.
