Descriptive Essay About My Personal Place

Improved Essays
My personal place essay is about my yard, three hundred miles away back in Connecticut. The reasons that I chose, is because I have so many memories there. Even though I moved around the year 2006, I still have made many memories in my yard. Many people have yards, but mine is special to me because I, have made it my place, it’s the one place that I could always return to at any point in my life. I personally like to think of my yard as a safe space, where I can go to enjoy myself, be alone, or hang out with friends. Another reason that my yard is special to me is because I have all my things there. These were some of the things that would be impractical of me to bring anywhere, unless they were permanent.
My first set of memories comes from many hours of yard work. Last summer, my father and I started to clear out our back yard. We used to have a spot in the yard that was covered in trees, and vines. The patch of vegetation was so thick that you couldn’t even walk through it. It took about three months, but we got it done, and now there are only about four trees left in the area. We used

These are the reasons why my yard is my personal

    I wouldn't even call it a back yard it was more of a field or forest that went on forever. It was the prettiest thing you might have ever seen. The meadow was full of an assortment of flowers and plants. Then just beyond that was the forest with tall limber redwood trees, the trunks with a minimum diameter of forty feet. Mom and Dad told us not to go beyond the trees since we didn’t know what the threats were beyond them.…

    The crisp breeze rustled my hair as I walked out of my house on the fall September day with my dad drilling instructions into my head. It was my first Little League baseball game ever, and my dad wanted to make sure it wasn’t my last. Being seven years old and never touching a baseball was something that had scared me; a lot. I had no idea what to think about this foreign, petrifying, game could possibly be about. The car ride from my house was only a few minutes away from the fields where I would begin my baseball career.…

    Growing up, I lived in quite a few places as a result of my parents’ divorce. The neighborhood I lived most of my life, and still live in, is in New Market, Maryland. I live with my father on a tranquil golf course surrounded by large evergreens, close to a large lake known as Lake Linganore. I have always loved living here, especially when the wind would pick up and breeze through the trees and the crisp blades of the manicured grass. My favorite activity is to walk with my dog along the golfing path, and observe the scenery of the landscape with the forested mountains along the horizon.…

    Rory came to our store and asked for me to join him in the office to discuss more, which I did. At the beginning of the conversation I again said that I was not in no way, giving a demand but I was asking for the transfer. We began our conversation again around where is all the areas that I've already covered, and where exactly is home. This began to make me defensive because I know how to lead people into conversations to get certain results I'm looking for. It's called "open ended questions".…

    I opened my eyes from my sleep, trying to sit up. When I turned to my right I saw the car window and with that, I saw beautiful landscapes through the window. The memories of yesterday came to my mind as I remembered my mother's words clearly. "Your father found a new job at the city, therefore, we were thought that it might be better to relocate and that you can attend to a formal and private school near our new home and near your father's job". I was afraid of the thought of relocating and attended to a new school in a new but unknown place for me.…
