) Experience
I occasionally take breaks of 15-20 min and go sit in the sauna or just relax between my swim
practice or workouts. One day I met this man, his name was Luke. he owned a multi million
dollar company in Maryland but was 350 pounds and super depressed. He started judo and won
many tournaments, lost 150 pounds and earned a black belt. He was still depressed though so
he left home with his walet, a jacket, and his phone. He kept walking, following trails through
mountains until he met this beautiful woman. He finished the trail with her and then drove down
to Montgomery, where this woman was from. We kept talking for almost 40 min, discussing
poems and literature and telling each other about our childhood and ambitions. This experience
built a thought into mlife to never give up or listen to what others have to do. Taught me that it
doesn’t matter what we do because any path is great and god given. Furthermore that no matter
how down you are or how horrible your life is, god gives you opportunities to fix it and to grasp
that opportunity

2.) Place
My house is a place where I have lived for the past 5 to 6 years. Since then we have heavily
modified our house, building fences, hammock posts, and a huge garden. The house provides
my family with a lot of vegetables. But beyond all, this was our first house. We lived in a condo
in New Delhi in India, and apartments when we first came to America. This small garden home
is far from perfect. We've had mold problems, rat problems, and…you name it. But the important
thing is that My family and I persevered through it, we fixed any problem that came and grew
closer while doing it. To you this is just another lame home with no garage, to us: it’s home.
