Shavonne Brady My Place Description Essay
I never had much time to spend with my parents while growing up. Because they were always trying to find a job to support me an my siblings. So we would drive 6 to see our parents, where they were currently working. We would stay at their apartment in Clifton, Arizona just a mile outside Morenci; where my parents were employed. We would spend as many days as we could with them, trying to make the best of every moment. Because my little siblings and I were still in school at the time. We would leave in the morning on Fridays to make it to Clifton before the sun sets. Then we would leave Clifton again early in the mornings.. Because traveling throught the forest at night is the most dangerous, due to deers and livestock lerking alongside the highways. Then on Sundays we would leave early in the mornings again, so that we can make it back in time for school. But for the last 2 school outs we been spending our summer with them , until school started again. My parent's apartment was located right behind the landlord's house. The apartment my parents were renting was just right for us,there were 3 bedrooms, one bathroom, kitchen, and the living room. The livng room had a big window that covered almost half of the wall. I saw the front yard, covered with shade by two trees, but the ground was just plain dirt. I also noticed we were located on a big hill and surrounded by train tracks. I remember trains crying early in the mornings as I try to sleep. Then birds begin to sing before the sun rises as if they were chanting prayers. As I lay there the morning breeze blows in the smell of fresh cut grass. My family and I would spend our time together cooking outside and telling scary storiesw. I would sit beside my parent for comfort from the scary stories being told. I startle myself by looking into the dark streets and picturing abnormal creatures. I felt safe with my parents beside me. I remember having

    When I was young, I lived in a house in the small town of Richland. My house was white, hence it was always called “The White House”. We always had numerous neighborhood kids running about, because our house was caught in the middle between two apartment buildings. The summers were always beautiful, with the colors so vibrant. Our house was surrounded by Northern Catalpa trees. They had leaves that could be larger than your face and I always remember stacking them up in towers or pretending they were lily pads when it rained. I lived with my parents and my older brother and sister. We always used to roam around on our bikes and explore the woods that surrounded everything like a barrier. There was a little forest den that must have been cleaned…
