My I Am___. Original 

Back in high school I used to wear fake clothes. I had the True Religion jeans, and Ralph Lauren polos, down to the fake Nike KD shoes. Then my senior I started dressing up wearing ties and blazers to school which went against the social norm. The whole year I consistently wore professional clothing. It became my preferred choice of style despite the criticism I received from my peers. The critics were equally matched with the energy from people that loved my style of dress which motivated me to keep doing it. 

I realized that dressing up made me original because it was the style that I decided to wear and not what I was influenced by. I removed my attachment from the social norm of fitting in. And developed my own original look and style.
