Decent Essays
When it comes to origin there is no specific place that can define where you come from. Though there may be a birthplace, there are a countless amount of places that you could come from. I most literally come from the NYU hospital up in the big apple most likely given birth to without painkillers as my mother obsesses with everything being done naturally, as she won’t even say the word perm pertaining to hair.

So much so I could write series of short stories with the amount of awkward, strange, exuberating experiences I’ve had in my meager 16yrs of life. The most vivid of out of all these experiences would have to be a family apple picking trip I had when I was around 9yrs old. The characters in this short spiel will be my parents, my older sister Jade, my infant sister Amber and my younger brother Jacob. During this apple picking adventure the naïve all-knowing 8yr old Isaiah decided to climb a tree that might have been the empire state building to him but was only realistically about 18ft.

    The thing about running is that you hate it until it’s over, at least for me that’s true. Personally, I like running, and it gives me a chance to get out and work towards something. All throughout high school, I’ve run track, and for two years I ran cross-country, both are great sports. The two years I ran cross-country made me wish I ran all four years. If you’re part of more than one sport, it’s natural to choose a favorite.…

    I've always loved different cultures and tried to surround myself in as many as possible however I could. This was usually me trying to learn on my own from the internet, music and movies, but I was still missing that X factor that really made me indulge in other cultures.
