Home
The sweet scent permeates throughout the big
blue house. There isn’t any better scent to be waking up to in the morning because
when your nose catches whiff of it, it will not stop sniffing until it is
satisfied. The smell I talk of is rice being cooked with mixed beans along with
an egg being cooked in the middle of the pan. This specific smell is typical Costa
Rican dish that I love waking up to because it tastes like a piece of heaven to
me. When you see hot rice perfectly cooked, diced tomatoes, peppers and pieces
of egg in a plate, your mouth drools in excitement. You scurry across the house
in the pajamas you wore the previous night no matter how ridiculous they look
in order to taste just to a meal prepared from scratch made from love. My mom,
Estella Bartek, is a 100% Costa Rican that knows her country inside and out
geographically and is orientated with many cuisines from her beautiful
homeland. With the knowledge that she possesses, she cooks the most scrumptious
meals that beg you for more. Have you ever had that feeling
One
of the main reasons why I go home every weekend is because of my queen size
bed. This large bed cannot be compared to the ones we sleep on campus because
the one on campus is half the size and not as soft as it could be. The bed
becomes a cold corpse waiting for my arrival in order to bring it back to life
with the body heat I possess. When you hop onto my bed on my caliber, it is
very similar to quick sand, you simply cannot get out of it even with all your
might. I have lived in the same house for 18 years and I plan to live in my
house for the duration of my life. The main reason I would live in my house for
the rest of my life is because it has no mortgage that need to be paid. Only
bills that’s I would have to pay would be the electric, gases, and etc. The
memories that are created at home are mine to keep forever and that is why home
is my favorite place to be. I want my kids to have the same memories and love
that my parents bestowed upon myself. Home is one of the key foundations of who
you truly are.
