Growing up in my childhood, I never really made a lot of friends. In my early years of education, I was very sociable, but to my dismay, people just didn’t seem the friendly type. I never really did feel safe in the school district. That being said, there was only one place that I would always go to relax and get the stress of my mind, and that would be my humble abode, my home. Because I walked to school on a regular basis, I always knew where to go, even during the renovations. I mean, I could never miss the area, a light blue house right across the street from a Kraft factory. The front yard had a very large pine tree in the front yard, the bottom half full of life and the top bared to nothing but twigs and death. The front porch was white

Relieved that I was finally able to relax from all the school stress. The first place I would go into was the dining room and kick off my shoes as the dining room table was usually the place to be when it came to homework, even though I was usually the only person to bring any home, which gave me a feeling of some sort of leadership. The dining room table was usually on the left side of the room when you walked in from the front door, stood sort of lower than normal, had a worn down auburn brown shade from all the antics, and, at the time, began to give off a scent of something that I cannot describe as other than the word “old”. Adjacent to the dining room was our family room, or living room. Deemed to me as “the room with the most fun”, most of the family activities happened in here. Aside from watching television and chatting, our family regularly had an obsession with board games. We would bring over one of our side tables and play games such as Uno, Poker, non gambling of course, even Chutes and Ladders and Candyland. All games were accepted here. During the games, it was always heartwarming to see my mother and siblings laugh and have fun, aside from all of the non stop …show more content…
Because I never lived with my father, I learned everything I know today from her. She was the type that was not afraid to pick a fight with anybody teasing her young ones. After she gave birth to my sister, my mother could not have any more children, but that didn’t stop her motherly love. Since then, she gained custody of my three cousins, whom I consider brothers, and became a foster mother for six years. Her “never say die” attitude rubbed off on me to say the least as I know live in the same attitude. People would always come up to me and praise my mother for all the joy she created and every time she would enter a room, the atmosphere would always fill up with livelihood, always. Her intuitiveness and attitude has inspired me to be the very person I am today, a rough-shot, aspiring sports entertainment Superstar who will stop at nothing to get what he
