Everyone has their own opinions about things or objects like, favorite color, whose is better than who, what animal is the smartest, and what item is most valuable to them. All these things are things that I question a lot. Why do people have valuable items like a lucky baseball when others would find it totally useless. What is it about these items that make them so special.
Sitting at the kitchen table. Chaos all around me.” BB can you play cars with me?”
“ The sun will come out tomorrow.” “ Mom, tell Steph to stop singing.”
“ But Ally, Steph has to practice.”
“ugh okay”
“Can you BB? Please, play cars with me!”
“ Brianna get back to do your homework.”
Then I put in those little white buds and the sound goes away except for the music of my favorite songs playing faintly in the back round just loud enough for me not to hear all the loud sounds and yells around me. I sit there doing my homework with chaos all around me when i am trying to my homework but thankfully i have my iPod to mute out all the sounds around me. My little green, beat up, iPod. I could never get my homework done in time if I didn’t have my iPod. I also use my iPod when I just sit out on my deck on a nice sunny fall day. The weather is warm but not to warm and cold but not to cold almost like 70 degrees is around the temperature i like. So i sit there listening to country music. Now I know a lot of people don’t like country music they like rap and I don’t like rap because you can’t even tell what they are saying. They are talking so fast, and that is not very peaceful to me. So i sit on the deck listening country and sometimes I listen to Bob Marley. My iPod makes it even more peaceful and calming and I could listen to it all day.
Laughter, screaming, and happiness mix together as it fills the house. The smell of ham fills the room. The littlest of the grandchildren watch t.v, the middle of the grandchildren sit on the couch and tell each other how school is going or how they are doing in sports, and the oldest in the dinning room chatting with the adults. The little kids chase each other and play hide-and go-seek while others are playing an intense game of Kemp's.The familiar sound comes from the kitchen and everyone jumps to their feet and run to the kitchen to get their meal.Smiles on everyone faces as they try to figure out what kind of pierogi we want and who we want to sit next to. we all fill the seats and all laugh and joke as a family. We are finally all together in one room all enjoying ourselves. After we all gather around the t.v and watch the vintage movie we all know by heart A House Without A Christmas Tree. We grab pillows and blankets from the bedroom and make beds in front of the t.v and all watch the movie. In the middle of it all we all pause it for a desert break and secret Santa we all exchange gifts and are surprised on who got who and what they got for each other. After we all say good bye and have to wait a whole year till we are all together again. Mostly because we have family living in Florida, New Hampshire, Longmeadow, Easthampton, and South Hadley.
Christmas time has to be my favorite time of the year. The Christmas carols playing and all the red and green. It is also one of the only time my family is together and it is such a happy time when we are together as a whole family. We normally can’t have family gatherings because some of us live in different states.
Both of those descriptions are things that i value a lot. I don’t know why I value them when other people would just say oh its just an iPod when really it means a whole lot to me. My family is also very important to me without them i wouldn’t be where I was today I couldn’t imagine life without them. Both of these things are very valuable to me and always will be. I am very grateful to have a good family. Some people don’t have a wonderful family like i do and sometimes i think i take advantage of but over all i think family is the most valuable thing to me. If it were not for my noisy family everyday after school my iPod wouldn’t be as useful too me and as valuable to me. That is what my two most valuable items/ moments, so what is yours?
