When I was a child all I wanted to do was be an adult or act like an adult. In all the games you acted like someone older than you are- a teacher or a mom or a doctor. From year 3 to year 6 my friends and I had our own dance group including my elder sister and we would have group meetings at lunch times and create dance steps together.

our small gray minivan. Three of my most cherished memories in our minivan are when we went to Disney World‚ the beach‚ and the mountains. When I heard my parents talking about going to Disney World I was so excited. It was a long trip down to Florida and I could not sit still‚ because I was so excited.

Immaturely‚ I’d compare everything. “Why don’t people ever walk?” and “New York is so much better.” Personally‚ looking back‚ my reasonings to hate Hamtramck didn’t make sense. I never went out or did anything‚ so I guess making up
