College Essay
There are
many stresses in the world that takes me out of life but one place always puts
me back in. There’s something about
shoes stomping on the black top court, the bouncing of balls, laughter of
friends, and the sweat on my forehead from shooting a ball just puts me at
ease. This place is Park and Ride
basketball court. It is only one mile
away from my house so when I get frustrated from any problem I walk down
they’re alone and forget about everything by shooting my problems away.
This place
is special to me because it is always in arms reach. Also it always creates a fun and happy
environment. So whenever I go there I
always come home happy. Whenever I shoot
a basketball there its like a problem goes into the basket and falls to the
ground.
The first
time I went there I knew this was a great place to be. I liked how it was it was relaxing and very
green. It was bursting with life I knew
that I would have good memories there.
Knowing that I started to play basketball with my friends there and
magically the court created good times and made me happy. Which made it special and made me calm.
I remember
the first time I went there when I was frustrated. That day was going well until my sister
started to get mad at me. But I didn’t
know why she got mad at me. So I got
really frustrated and stormed out of my house with a basketball in my hands
because I knew exactly where I wanted to go because the court is a place that
always relaxed me. So I continued out
the garage into the street. I was so
enraged when I was walking down I was talking to myself. But after 15 minutes I made it to the
park. I looked around and started to
calm down. The sun on my face, the wind
rustling through trees, and the beautiful view of the sun touching the horizon,
which helped me, let go a little bit. Then
I walked in and found a court in the front.
After a while of watching other guys play an intense game. I started to shoot my ball. As I let the first one go I started to relax
and let go. After about 100 shots I got
bored and started to walk around. Just
the beautiful scenery was making me happy.
There’s also Dog Park that is near so watching the dogs made me
happier. Then completely happy and forgetting
why I was mad I went home when my mom arrived.
That is why
Park and Ride is special and always makes me perfectly content because of the
scenery and all the happy people around.
So that’s why when I am upset I always go there.
