241 Words1 Page

When one thinks about changing anything about where they live, it turns out to be difficult topic, or at least it is for me. Even though it is a hard thought for me to process, I do have some things that I would change.

Changing the driveway has been on my mind, I would say ever since I began driving. Keeping my car clean is one thing that I really like to do. I can 't really do this when every time I come up my driveway it looks like I was in a race in the Sahara. Getting my car washed every weekend almost eventually adds up to a pretty expensive cost.

  • Personal Narrative: My Move To Georgia

    241 Words  | 1 Pages

    My move from my home state of Maryland to Georgia has greatly influenced my goals and perspectives. When I lived in the city area of Maryland, I had a limited viewpoint of life as a person who knew only of the city and had relaxed belief of living only within my comfort zone of what a city had to offer, however that changed when I moved to Georgia. Georgia proved itself to be a very different experience for me. Georgia is a lot bigger than Maryland so there was more place for its cities to be more spread apart and the environment had a more forestry background than what I knew at the young age. The change of setting and accustoms associated from the very different places made me realize that depending on a person’s position one object can be

  • Personal Narrative: Growing Up In Public Housing

    120 Words  | 1 Pages

    Growing up in a public housing development, I longed to one day help individuals from an underserved community obtain care. At this soup kitchen, my responsibilities included welcoming guests, serving food, waiting tables, and cleaning trays. I empathized with their excitement when watching them receive a hot cup of tea on a sub-freezing day or a book bag with a built-in trench coat on a stormy day. Having an opportunity to spend time with and learn from the diversity of the population that we served was invaluable. Each person had a unique story to tell and just wanted someone to hear it.

    The hot sun burns against my dripping back as I hold a prickling pile of freshly cut pine leaves to throw away. They sting my flesh as they pass the pores of my dad’s worn-out red working gloves I wear. Each thorn is like a stab against my pride and a crying demand for me to surrender. As my legs wear heavy and my fingers cramp, I can only wonder if I will ever see the end of this day.

    This is a great question that I will answer. How does place shape the individual? Well, I believe that place can have a huge impact on people and how they later grow up. I’ve heard that in the place where you grow up you can make very strong connections and relationships with that place and it becomes a part of your identity.
