About+Me

 **__ Where I am From __**  I am from a silent paradise, miles away from other civilization. My home is a country of its own-a rich, happy, loving country. Turkeys gobble, beavers beat, and the river pours, as my incredible family gathers outside for an adventurous day of memories in our foreign country.

I am from wonderful day time walks to my grandma’s house, where we would sit in her front yard, on a red wooden swing. My grandma would make the peeling swing move with her feet, while mine barely touched the worn out dirt spot. We’d both drink a can of diet Pepsi, while waving to the few cars that went by. Once we went inside, Grandma Elsie would fall asleep on her lazy boy when reading the news paper. To this day I can still hear her annoying snore, which now I miss deeply.

I am from years of competitive sporting events. Basketball and volleyball games, track and cross country meets. Basketball and running showed the dedication that lived within me. Friday night football games were the greatest under the dark nights, while keeping warm under layers of blankets with my amusing friends.

I am from a winding path in life that is just beginning. Someday I’ll be a loving teacher that will make a difference in lives. Someday I’ll be an outstanding wife. Someday, I will have little children of my own that I will treat as if they were royalty. I am happy traveling down this winding path; happiness is where I’m from.
