Defining Who You Are

     When I first started Wild by Cheryl Strayed I honestly wasn’t prepared for the emotional depth of the book. I thought it was just about her adventure on the Pacific Crest Trail but it is so much more. It is about her struggles, her emotions, her family. It is about what makes us human. Life isn’t perfect, it has its ups and downs, and this is well illustrated even in the beginning section of the book that I have read. The book is inspirational. It makes me want to do something. I don’t know what. But it makes me want to do something that will help define and redefine who I am.
