I grew up. I must admit that this house‚ although enormous‚ was neither the nicest nor the most comfortable house‚ yet my nostalgic nature has propelled me to treasure that house above all others. Having parted it for almost ten years‚ some details of the house are out of my grasp. The memory of the house now stands as a symbol of my childhood.

Examining my personality‚ it is immediately apparent that the color that describes me best would have to be of a blue hue. Many aspects of myself‚ from my quiet nature and mellow outlook on life‚ to my desire for knowledge and creative drive‚ are‚ in my mind‚ tinted with a cool blue.
