| Introduction | I am Elizabeth, and I have always been comfortable in my own skin. That is not to say there are not things I would like to improve upon, but mostly, I am who I am meant to be. There are interests, traits, and characteristics I have, but they don't define me, they just provide a little insight into the things I might like or do. I could say that I am a loner who can enjoy time alone as much as I can enjoy time with a group of friends; or I could say I am a Black Woman, or I could say there are things I am not (creative, I can expound on creativity, I just for the most part, am not creative) but those are just characteristics. I think most of us are who we are because of the environment (home) we were raised in, more so than because of our gender (I don't think I would feel any different if I were a male, I would just have a different genetic make up), race, ethnicity, or nationality. In general though, as people, I believe we are who we are, words can never truly tell you who or what a person is, they merely provide, as I stated before, a little insight. If you truly want to know who a person is, you’ll have to get to know them. Even then, you may truly never know someone. |

| Favorite books | I have read so many books, from so many different genres over the years, that I don't really have favorites, Toni Morrison, is probably my favorite writer, but I also like, Maya Angelou, Sharyn McCrumb, Tony Hillerman, and God. Then there are books such as The Great Gatsby, or one I read at seven or eight (I can no longer remember the title) that I still feel a little affected by, but mostly, except for the Bible, I can only read a book once. Once I know how it ends, that is it. |
