Happy Place Rough Draft
Everyone has their own special place sometime in their life. It could be at an event, like a concert or a church service, or a place visited often. My happy place is at my Grandma’s house because my grandma is awesome, I can make my own decisions, and my cousins and other family live close by. My grandma is a huge part of the reason why her house is my happy place. She is the most giving person I know. I remember ever since I was a kid she would bake cookies for church every Sunday that smelled heavenly, and they tasted good too. She is also very supportive of everyone.

She doesn’t give me a curfew, so many nights my friends and I will go up in the woods and start a fire and hang out. The crackle sound and smoky smell of the fire is a great way to end a long day. I also feel like after all I am given it is my duty to give back to others. Another way I spent my free time is volunteering at the local food shelf. The heat coming off the warm meals reminds me that it doesn’t take much to make someone’s day. I feel like volunteering in any way is a smart decision. I value the freedom I have at my Grandma’s
