People often ask me, "Where did you spend your childhood?" or , "What place had the greatest impact on who you are?". Well, this is the place. The park alone has changed greatly, going from farm fields to mud piles, mud piles to grass, grass to sidewalks and lamps. This park curved and shaped my life. It may sound silly, I mean how can a park affect who you are as a person? I walked this field every morning and afternoon, five days a week for nine years. Some days crying, others happy and holding another person`s hand or walking with a group of my friends but nonetheless creating memories. I practiced softball, rode around on bikes with the boys, fell down EVERYWHERE, stood back up EVERYWHERE, had parties, and day dreamed about all my memories, all at this park. This is my shaping ground. Where is your shaping ground?
