You create your own identity by inculcating habits all by yourself it may be good or might be bad whatever you have to choose its upto you but it reflects your character and portrays how good as a person you are.
In USA as soon as a child turns 18 he have to leave the house and find job and survive on his own without the support of his parents all by himself which teaches him to be self dependent and by doing all that process the person learns a lot of things and make him humble and builds integrity. So whatever are the resources all that with you learn how to be self dependent and self sufficient and respect each and everyone.
