Location Identity

The cycle of socialization affects almost everything because it forms almost all everyone's identity. It determines how you act and how you think and almost everything else about you that isn't genetic. When most people talk about the cycle of socialization they talk about presents your school and your friends. One factor of socialization that isn't talked about as much is where you live. Personally where I live is the largest single factor of my socialization. Living in cow canyon 30 miles south of Durango Colorado I have to 2 different places that affect my identity. Durango and cow canyon have both affected almost all my identity in their own ways.
I live on 127 acres in cow canyon a fairly isolated area south of Durango this has socialized me in a couple of different ways. One way is it made me kind of introverted. Because of the lack of other kids, my age to pal with I found ways to entertain myself in the woods at my house. I think this caused me to be less social because I was less bothered by being “lonely” or not having someone to talk to. Another way that my canyon has socialized me is it has made me more athletic than I would've been living somewhere else. Because I didn't have other kids I could hang out with most of the time I would explore my canyon. This caused me to be more fit than many of my peers. Which caused me to enjoy sports more because I was naturally good at most things.
When I started middle school I began going into Durango every day this has also socialized me in a couple ways. One way that Durango has socialized me is it changed the sports that I like to play. Before middle school, I liked to play typical sports like soccer and baseball. At mountain middle, I was introduced to other sports like biking and climbing. Durango also made me more introverted. In elementary school, I had a small class that had been together since kindergarten so I knew and talked to everyone. When I started middle school, most of the kids that I was friends with went to a different school. Because I was used to being by myself I didn't talk much except around my friends. This just kind of turned into a habit and now it is a lot more uncomfortable to talk to people I don't know well.
My mask shows most of these parts of my identity. I have a mountain range on the outside of my mask. This represents the spots that I do like skiing biking and climbing. It also represents Durango in general and how it has socialized me as I talked about before. On the inside of my mask, I have a canyon that represents where I live.
