MEMORIES FROM THE PAST TO THE PRESENT.

“Let’s go up mom”! Says my 8 years old. Its spring time, a sunny day at my favorite place. Is a grassy land, with hills around, with an amazing view, where you can see the whole city, the ocean, the forest around and the hiden houses that you can't see from the road; bushes cover the hills and there are a few trees. Families and most of them are old people who come out as the weather welcoming them to walk trough the paths.

The park name is Anna Jean Cummings, but people also call it “Blue Ball Park”, known by that name for an incledible size of four blue balls placed on one of the first hills in the park, everybody pretend to pushe them down, peoplebing there fot the first time don't go home whith out taking a picture whith the blue balls. Playgrounds are for different ages, I belive has something for everybody, four soccer and two baseball fields are full of kids every weekend, and my favorite from the park way back to the park the most beautiful view from the hills.

Being at this place brings up many memories from my childhood. I grew up in a small town in El Salvador that has hills just like this park.

My mind goes back to my home town when I am at this place, looking at the city, the ocean and the other hills around creates a picture of all those beautiful days when I was a little girl. It inspire me to tell my son how happy a was raised in that small town.
It’s not just going for a walk, is all about enjoin time with my family, the weather, the nature, the memories that come from the past and the feeling of freedom when I reach the

    Through observation on any given day, Steven believes that Smale Riverfront Park does in fact show a diverse mix of users, from all age groups. The park was created in such a way that it offers people a variety of uses, including swings, picnic areas, walking/biking trails, and playgrounds; one’s built for kids in mind and others for an older population. However more can be done to better meet everyone’s needs. For instances activities could be organized on a weekly basis to not only get more people involved but to also better meet the needs of the entire population. Such activities can include workout classes, sports, movie nights, and so forth. This park according to Steven does play a role as a tourist attraction. Naturally people are drawn to spaces that offer scenic views, somewhere they can relax, and to something that offers amenities that will keep them busy. Smale Riverfront Park was designed in such a way to offer all these aspects and make all feel welcome. Tourists and residents alike are drawn to this park because it’s in walking distance from hotels and places of work, it offers parking, has a variety of activities, and it is a pretty accessible space. Not only does the park attract interaction during the day time but it also draws crowds during the night time as well.

    The sun shone vibrantly through the trees and I loved the way it complemented the gold leaves. I started to notice the incline to the top of the hill, it was steady unlike the Adirondacks where you go up and down. When I got to the top I saw a spectacular view of the surrounding neighborhoods and way in the distance I saw the buildings of Rochester. As I stood there I admired the pure beauty that lies so close to home. It is hard to believe that a wilderness like this one could be surrounded by suburban neighborhoods. Being higher up and in an open space I could really appreciate the mixture of golds, oranges and yellows it was different than being on regular ground level. I thought to myself ‘’I should do this more often, it’s peaceful and healthy.’’ I felt a certain peace with in me while I’m in the woods, suddenly my phone vibration broke my train of thought. It was my stepmom texting me to see if everything was okay, I replied yes and I’d be back at the trailhead in a short time. The leaves snapped and cracked under my feet on the way back and the crisp fall air made the not yet fallen leaves dance in the trees, it was getting later in the day. I was three quarters through the loop so I was still fine,I wasn’t…

    When I was a little girl I use to always go to the park and while swinging I would imagine how much cooler it would be to live in a big city with lots of people and many things to see and experience. I never would have thought that at my age I would be sitting and relishing all the amazing times I had in my small home town. The family traditions, slow living and many childhood memories hold my heart in my hometown of Norfolk Nebraska. The boldly colored green grass, light brown cat tails lining the lake shore and fishing poles hanging off a dock all are vivid in my mind when thinking about the weekends I experienced in my adolescence.…

    “Every man’s memory is his private literature.” As illustrated in this quote from Huxley, individual memory can narrate a story that differs from documented events; it is through a combination of the two that we uncover a more reliable account. Peter Carey’s prose novel True History of the Kelly Gang and Christopher Nolan’s 2000 movie Memento represent history and memory in unique and evocative means by exploring the interplay between one’s individual perspective and the established ‘truth’.…

    Closing my eyes, a quaint structure amongst a vast green field and a clear blue sky paints itself in my mind. On the wooden porch, it is the serenity of an elderly couple, gently rocking amongst a calm breeze, silently content in each other's company that depicts the final years of my journey. Looking back then, I hope to have gained what I strive for today: the security of a successful career, the warmth in a loving companion, and the pride from cherished ones.…

    When I think of home it is the place where I first came to realize all of my thoughts worries, hopes, and dreams. It wasn’t the place where I had been raised, it was far from it. A beach. In my home town, about 10 miles away. Lincoln Township Beach was instantly where I felt a sense of relief. The waves monumental like a skyscraper. The trees gentle and peaceful. The wind that kissed your face with its cool breeze. Peacefulness. Your mind drifts into a sense of relief that not all things are difficult. This is where you feel released from your worries and struggles that are constantly dragging you…

    Memories in the Field

    • 646 Words

    Turning back the hands of time is the most splendid thing that has bestowed on us. It is a special ability that encompasses one’s heart and mind. In the field in my hometown where you can see farmers are busy plowing and digging the soil, planting seeds and harvesting crops filled up my childhood memories which I could always reminisce. It has been ten years have passed the last time I spend my daily hours in playing with my cousins and neighbors. I remember when we are making a kite and then we will go to the field to test if it will fly. All of us are fond of making different kinds such as kabag, bubuntutin, lagundrina, bulador, and many more. Then, when all kites are about to touch the clouds, we are going to fight each other in the battle called “Sabitan at Dagitan”. It was so amazing because you can only win if you can make other’s kite to be broken on its thread which we called “nakaligaw”. Another game which we were fond of playing was the Baseball and “paluang-bola”. When clock strikes to 4pm, rest assured that you can see us in the field newly plowed by a tractor. We wore in our hands the improvise baseball gloves that was made in an empty sack of rice. Our ball was an old sock. We collected old socks and then we filled a good one and then sewed it to become round. Also, the game will not be completed if we don’t have a bat. What we did is we cut a coffee wood which is about 36 inches in length and almost 3 ½ inches in diameter. .So the game will begin. We will do the so called “maiba’y alis” to know who will be teammates. The game will just be over if we will heard our mothers and fathers shouting our names saying “ Dayo! Uwi na! Timo! May latog ka pagbalik sa atin!” Surely all of us will begin to scream when that will happen. During school vacation, you can see me once again in the grassy portion of the field. I together with my cousins and friends were going in the mountain-like grasses and in the…
