Who Am I?

When we had this discussion in class, I thought of where I was from and my past and recent landscape, which were prevalent subjects in Big Sur.

This is what I wrote:
My name is Cassie Tarulli. I am a female. I was born in Carmichael, Cali and was raised in Sacramento. I am a non-denominational Christian because I believe in God, but not parts of the bible because of its ambiguity of translation. My career goal is to become an elementary school teacher and a writer. I have a big family, but I only want one child when I do get married. I love warm weather and absolutely detest cold or even cool weather. So, summer is my favorite season.

As some of my classmates explained, I believe that my home town shaped who I am by means of its landscape. I was born into and grew up with perfect warm weather for years, and this is why I am in love with it. My body never fully adapted to Ohio's weather because it refused to. As a physical example, my natural body temperature rests at 96.8 degrees F instead of the normal 98.6 degrees F.

Of course, every other factor is based off how I was raised and personal values, but landscape is a big part of my life. I do not like Ohio and I am always reverting back to vacationing in places with that perfect weather, such as Florida and the Bahamas. I also want to get married in that beautiful landscape because that is a part of who I am. So, when all is said and done, I really did leave a piece of me back in California.
