Can we describe who we are without using the roles we play in society as the descriptors?

This is a response for Bryan's question. I think that we can be describe by the roles in our society because what we do in our darily lives is what we are. For example i am a college student, if somebody ask someone else who is laura? that person may say she is a college student. So i think that it is imposible not to describe a person with their roles in our society. Humans are describe of what they are in our role in society.
