Where do I live?I live in the connections I make throughout my life. When I recall my home, I do not solely see four walls and a roof, I see the links and bonds I made there. I can smell the breakfast my mom is cooking on Saturday mornings. I can hear my dog barking whenever a stranger is passing by the house. I can feel my heart pounding as I sprint for a touchdown playing football with my friends.
Growing up in Staten Island, I formed connections that will last me a lifetime. I became closer to my family and they have helped me grow especially my sister Simran and my dog Lucky. My sister has helped me grow from the immature teen who I once was into the (slightly) less immature college student I am today while my dog has taught me to be responsible and caring. Finally, my friends are the biggest connections that form where I live. Throughout my life, my friends have been there for me, whether to shoot around a basketball or to pick me up when I fall. They have taught me to be more open and accepting to new ideas, encouraging me to embrace the college experience. Because of them I know that I can make even greater bonds in college while still keeping the ones that I have held dearly for so long. Though where I live may change over the years, I am certain that I will always reside in the connections that I form and the friends that I make. Technically, I live in Staten Island but where do I really reside? I reside in the connections I make throughout life.
Really cool stuff man. I like how you can find the best things in life and fully appreciate their value. And it seems like your life is pretty awesome despite being from staten island 😛
