Titel 2 Who I am?

The texts in this chapter deal with becoming who we are. What factors influence personality? The people you'll meet in this chapter tell us about the events, beliefs, challenges and choices that formed their personalities. They're not famous, they're not geniuses, they're not unique – they are, in many ways, just like you and me. But the stories of how they became them might make you think about what makes you you (fra antologien Compass)
