The reason I chose these 8 pictures is because I believe that these tell you most about my life and everything you need to know.
Picture number one is of family. Family is without a doubt the most important thing in my life and that’s why I put them first. As Michael J. Fox once said, “Family is not an important thing. It’s everything.” I definitely hold by this and without them, I wouldn’t be where I am today. The next picture is a picture of the greatest city in the world, New York. New York is where I have been born and raised and there is no place better. As I grew up, I made the tough transition from 8th grade to high-school and decided to take my “talents” to MTA, which is a Jewish private school located in Washington Heights. (Picture 3)
Picture number four explains what my favorite hobby is. Playing sports. I will play any sport, any time and anywhere. I joined many leagues and school teams throughout my life and I love every minute of it. To me, it doesn’t matter how good you are. Sports are all about playing and competing. Whatever you do in any sport, enjoy it, be positive and try to win. The reason why I love playing sports is because of picture number 5. Throughout my childhood, my parents used to take me to numerous sporting events every year, and this made me admire every aspect of every game so much more. My dad still takes me to football games, basketball games and hockey games, and I love it.
Picture number six just shows you what makes me happy. Animals. I love animals. I have had many pets throughout my existence and I would spend most of my day just hanging out and relaxing with them. My most recent pet was a cute, little, 3-month old Yorkie. I spent a few weeks playing with her, all day and everyday, but sadly after a few weeks, I had to return her due to the fact she needed surgery in her legs. When I’m not playing sports, or just have a few minutes of free time, I like to draw. I find drawing really relaxing and I like being able to create something from nothing.
The last and final picture is a collage of me and a few of my many friends. Friends are really important to me. They have your back no matter what, they help you grow as a person and they just keep you occupied and make you happy when nobody else can. “Friends pick us up when we’re down and if they can’t pick us up, then they come and lie down for a while.” -Anonymous. I think my friends understand me most, and I would have not have gotten to this point without their help and guidance.
