How can students build on their experiences, knowledge, and values from different parts of their lives (i.e., their identities) to develop an "academic identity," or a sense of self as interested in, good at, and having a future in some academic discipline such as science or writing (e.g., Barton, Tan & Rivet, 2008; Carlone & Johnson, 2007)? In this paper I use boundary objects and narrative analysis to unpack how one student developed a trajectory of identification as a writer, particularly as a writer that had a positive influence on other people.
