It has something to do with Philosophy. To be a person, as in to be a Human Being than becoming a person ( a person with values, beliefs, etc.)

Any human being is a person but to become a true humanitarian the person needs to have compassion, love, and a good heart.

It's not easy or hard. Being just is. Like a tree is a tree whether it's two weeks old or 200 years old. There's not time when it was becoming a tree. It was always a tree. It didn't have a choice, it was created as a tree.
The only choice is in what we do. A tree can grow big, or it can die. A human can live an extraordinary life or he can not. Whatever the quality of his life, he is human for his entire life.

We will all be people, despite our values and beliefs.
but as we grow we learn that we can choose.
we can just be a person who is here to die. a person who chooses not to live their lives and experience the world to its fullest. a one emotioned person who doesnt know the feeling of love, and happiness. or even saddness and defeat, because to grow you must learn that you must experience those as well. this would be someone who is nothing more than just a person.
then there is the another person we can be. we can be a person with dreams goals aspirations love life and all that you can imagion. a person who thinks outside of the box, a person who strives for a life that has been lived in the way that person has hoped. a person so learns grows and consumes his whole life inorder to realize what has really happen. that person would be someone who has created a name.they will be the lion of the kingdom i guess you could call it. he wouldnt be some "guy" that youve seen at the store. he;d have a name "Oh thats great guy Frank"
and yes its not the most amazing name to be given because we all have names but the value of your life is being represented in yourself to be that person with a name

When we're born, we're born as a person. As the years go by, the type of person you are becomes more apparent. If a person has bad tendencies, it may be hard for them to change into a better type of person, but it can be done. A human "person" can overcome difficulties to "become" a better person, but it takes effort and for some it would be more difficult than just being born.

Classical philosophy understands that a person is a distinct, ontological subject. The accidental qualities of a person might grow and develop over time, but one is always a person.
