How has your gender shaped other aspects of your life?

Gender has shaped my identity and my life in many sorts of way. My gender has a big impact on the hobbies I do, and the activities that I take part in. Being a girl, I prefer to read, bake, and occasionally play tennis. It also impacts on how I do things in my everyday life. Instead of having a very messy room, I absolutely just have to organize everything, from my desk to my room. My gender also shapes the types of clothes I wear. As a girl, I do not portray the stereotypical image of a girl at all. I do not really wear pink clothes, and I dislike wearing dresses and skirts.  Apart from what I wear, my gender also has an impact on the accessories I get, like types of bags and shoes I like.

All in all, I feel that my gender has a very big impact on my life, but it doesn’t control my life. I don’t always do things that all girls would do. My gender shapes me, but I have other aspects of me that are not at all related to my gender at all.
