Echo Lake - My paternal grandparents' summer home in New York where I had fun as a child and consistently awaited visiting.
Eagle Lake - My maternal grandparents' home in Florida where I spent Christmas, Easter, summer, and countless other holidays.
The Dalrymple Farm- A farm we often visited in Ohio which has been in my family since the early days of America when families immigrated here on ships.
Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church- This church has served as a place of comfort to me since my baptism to present. The architect was a student of Frank Lloyd Wright and the building is constructed of limestone fossils of shells.
1622 Westshore Drive- We moved to this house in the middle of my eighth grade years. At first I detested the house and attributed all my problems to it, but eventually I discovered that it would not change but that I must.
Taylor High School- Since THS was the first new school I ever attended, I went in the first day knowing no one. My four years here greatly influenced me and made me realize the importance of friends, change, and hard work.
