100%

I am 50% Greek

Sun bleached marble ruins of a civilization time has not forgotten

Clear seas and smell of jasmine in the air

Passionate, resilient

Father

Does that define me?

I am 50% Romanian

Castles peering over the edges of cliffs

Majestic mountains overlooking lush forests

Enigmatic, romantic

Mother

Does that define me?

I am 100% American

Vast cities, vast forests, vast lands

Stirring oceans lapping wide beaches

Resolute, inclusive

Home

Does that define me?
