Were it all began

Often times you hear people give reference their neighborhoods as a sign of respect. People usually get their habits from the places and the environments that they grew up in, and it often shapes who they are as a person. For me, I grew up in Santa Cruz California. I was born and raised there. I guess you can say that I got my entire flavor from that city. Beings that Santa Cruz is a very diverse place, everybody sort of gets along. Everybody there is friendly, and knows everybody on a personal level. When you look at my character I am the exact same way. I realize that Santa Cruz had a bigger effect on me than I thought. All of the thing that surrounded me as a child were positive, Down from the people, the environment, and the greatness. Santa Cruz is known for the infamous beaches and the boardwalk. I have been going there since a child. Everything excites me from the rides, to the smell of the delicious foods being fried. For a long time, I didn’t know how this related to my character, but to my surprise it did. Everything that I experienced shaped me, and now I appreciate it more than ever. When I was younger my mother used to enroll me and my cousins into a summer program called Camp Cruz. We often went to many places such as museums, camp sites and different monuments. Now that I am older, I realized that this is one of the main reasons why I am so adventurous. I got exposed to things like this at a young age. I have experienced different walks of life, and different cultures. Everything that I have been through has made me this way. The neighborhood  that I grew up in is the mecca of what makes me who I am
