What do I think who I am?


What do I think who I am?
In my wallet, I have several shopper’s membership cards, one Debit card, two student ID cards, and health insurance card. Also, I have a memo that is, some of emergence phone numbers.
Let me see, what is my identity from my wallet’s items? Based on my wallet, I like to buy grocery at the Wegamans and sometimes at the CVS either. In addition, I am interested in a Health food so I usually go to the GNC to buy vitamins and some health foods. I am very serious to choose some food for myself that I consider organic and fresh food. I really enjoy watching movie but that have to spend much money. However, when I have their membership, I can have a little discount so that is good for me. I am not using a credit card to buy something but I am using a Chase Debit Card because I don’t have enough credit record in the U.S. In addition, I am a PhD student and a language leaner at different school. That is why I have two students ID cards. As a student, I must have a health insurance and I can proof my insurance from my health insurance card. In hence, because I am international student, I may need someone’s helps in the emergency so I have several phone number in my wallet.
I think I can’t explain all of me from my wallet’s items but I could briefly see myself.  Unfortunately, I don’t have many items in my wallet. If I lose my wallet and find it after a couple of years, I may not figure out current myself. In addition, if someone fined my wallet, he/she is unable to know about me. He/she might imagine me who likes healthy food, must be hypochondriasis, and love a watching movie. In addition they may wonder why I have two student’s IDs but they can guess that I am PhD student. I think they could imagine my personality and values but that can’t represent whole or true me.

  1. I agree with you that wallet or purse can not reveal our personality. However, it may show some signs of our life.
    By the way I wonder why you use "hypochondriasis" especially, I searched the internet to see what does this word mean!
    Thank you.

  2. Myunghee,

    A nice, reflective analysis of what we might know about you from your wallet. Based on your writing, I think I, too, might be able to surmise a few things about you, such as the value you place on health and on education.

    When you used the word "hypochondriasis," I assumed you meant hypochondriac, yet I am not quite sure why someone would think you were a person who always thought they were ill or having health problems of one sort or another.
