Sense of Place My family’s van driving into an isolated Hispanic village taking in a deep breath of nature at its purest. Surrounded by big green trees, we passed a mini mart as we made a turn to the village. As the drive continues the refreshing smell of nature entices my sense of smell. Approaching my grandfather 's home, the excitement begins to build up. When we arrived, we jumped out of the van and took a big deep breath of fresh air as we ran off relinquishing our excitement. My…

Not Just another Lake House Our family lake house is full of fun and gregarious laughter all summer long. Ever since I have been old enough to remember, I have spent the bulk of my summer weekends on mile marker number 3. This is where my grandparents have owned a lake house since I have been alive. My dad and grandparents have owned homes at the lake since the late 1960s, so it is no shock that I have also acquired a taste for wanting to leave the populace and noisy city and head out…

I feel excited to be an art ambassador, but actually right now I am also somewhat uncertain about what is art. If it was in few years ago, when I was still doing more basic drawing training, I might be able to tell you for more certain.

He parked his large, black truck in the massive, congested parking garage and began pacing to get to where he was going. The moving walkways were packed like sardines with other people trying to get to the same place he was going. Once he sees the monument that is decorated like the planet Earth with the exterior spinning the words “Universal Studios” he knows he has made it. He…

A mother, a father, a sister, a brother- they are all family. However, they are not family because they have similarly structured nucleic acids. They are family because of a more intimate bond, one that extends to friends, teachers, and pets. Family cares for one and wants to see one succeed and find happiness in all one does. Family gives one a reason to live. I realized how truly expansive the term family was when Guacamole, the most delightful golden lab to ever step paw on this earth,…

A shy, sassy girl with brown straight hair, deep dark brown eyes, was named Chloé Brown; lived in a nice modern gated community with her family.

I arrived at the town of Hatchet River and immediately felt as though I were an outsider. People came out of their houses just to watch me drive by as though they could sense that I did not belong there. The truck that I had rented felt gigantic on the cracked narrow streets, making me stick out even more.

For the most part the music played was background music, but there was one song I hear that did not quite fit in. That song was, “I’m a Believer” by Smash Mouth.
