This paper reports on a sociological and discourse study of identity construction of a young undergraduate student from the State University of Londrina. It stems from data generated by means of his diary writing in 2009. The analysis portrays his struggles throughout his life, and explores the content of two emerging identities, namely one of the oppressed and one of the free man. Consent to use the diary data was given by the participant in written form, and his agreement with the analysis was expressed in writing. Contributions of the study are addressed to school leaders, educators, students, and parents.
