- It’s not a car it’s a sky blue Subaru Legacy, with stained tan seats.
- It’s not food it’s a turkey and cheese sandwich with toasted bread, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles.
- It’s not simply, music it’s alternative songs with deep lyrics that you can play on a late night drive with good friends.
I live in the middle of nowhere surrounded by trees and wildlife. The nearest town is 30 minutes away and the biggest store is a Walmart. You learn quickly that when you drive your eyes always search for beady eyes looking back at you, so you don’t hit a deer on the small windy roads. As well as when you go to high school that there are two types of people, the ones who care about their academics and the ones who just plan to graduate and work for their family’s business. However, if you do consider yourself an academic student the competition is high because everyone is competing to be noticed. This small town allowed me to appreciate traveling and visiting big cities where the skyscrapers seemed to touch the sky. Where having multiple big name stores and a mall was a common thing for most people and how their are multiple styles of food other than your mom’s home cooking.
