Autobiographic Incident Narrative
The Cottage
One of the most memorable places that I have gone in my life was the cottage. My Great Grandfather built the cottage in Canada on the shores of Lake Erie. After he died it was passed down to my Grandpa and My Aunt Louis and Uncle Gerry.
As long as I can remember I would go there every summer for a week or two and I would have the best time. The cottage was right on the lake so we would go swimming all the time. We had some of our best times jumping off the dock and into the water. Right next to the dock was the boathouse. It held two canoes and a motor boat. My Uncle Gerry and I would go fishing in the motor boat everyday. My cousin Dave and I would canoe around the lake and go by the huge island in the middle of the lake. We would play football and baseball in the huge grass area in front of the cottage. Inside the cottage there were four bedrooms a living room and a kitchen. In the living room there was the big stone fireplace with the head of Butch the deer mounted on top.
The cottage was the best place to go and left me with so many memories. We ended up having to sell it because no one could take care of it anymore. I miss going there so much and I wish I could go back there one more time.

WHERE I'M FROM
I am from computers
from itunes and cds.
I am from the clean.
bright, shiny, it smells like lemons.
I am from the trees,
the oak
whose braches I remeber climbing.
I am from trips and heights,
from Linda and Robert.
I'm from the bossiness and controlers,
From Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.
I'm from Lutheren bible versus.
I'm from Ohio and Germany,
pizza and tacos.
From the falling down the stairs and the laughter.
The pictures inside the living room cabinets.

Strongsville Local Lore
Bonnie Park
When I think of an essential place in Strongsville that represents our town I think of Bonnie Park. It is the place where we have our annual family reunion, a place where people have picnics and can play around in the fields. This is where I came everyday after school when I ran two years of cross-country in middle school. When I ran through the woods looking all around at the trees and flowers and seeing wildlife made me realize how great Bonnie Park really is. The emerald necklace runs through the park and gives many people a place to come ride their bikes, roller blade, or run. They have grills and water fountains there making it possible to have barbecues and tons of fun. I think this represents the character and essential nature of our town very well. Bonnie Park is an all around great place to go to.
