Symbols of a person’s life can take
various forms. It may be something that the person enjoys doing, a special
place to them, where they come from, or an object that is special to their life
or impacted them in some way. These things can play a big part in someone’s
life and can shape how they live.
One symbol of my
life is the Superdome in New Orleans. One reason this is a symbol of my life
because I am a big fan of the New Orleans Saints football team. I watch every
game of the season. My favorite player on the team is Drew Brees and I love
watching him lead the team and make great throws.
Being
a Saints fan is not the only reason that the Superdome is a symbol of my life. Another
reason that I chose the Superdome to be one of my symbols is because I was born
in New Orleans and moved to Baton Rouge when I was about eight years old after
Hurricane Katrina. The city of New Orleans played a big part in my life. The
Superdome is a big part of the city of New Orleans, so it can serve as a symbol
of my life to tell where I am from.
Another
symbol of my life would have to be my first shotgun that I ever got. It was
given to me by my dad on my sixth birthday. That .410 crack barrel shotgun was
the best present I had ever opened at that point in my life. To this day, my
favorite place to be is in the outdoors, whether it be in the woods, duck
hunting in the marsh, or fishing on a lake or in the ocean. That shotgun
symbolizes the introduction of the outdoors, particularly hunting, to me.
There
are two main reasons that the outdoors is a special place to me. One of those reasons
is simply because I love to hunt and fish. A different reason is that most of
the times I go hunt or fish, it is with my dad and my little brother. We all
love it and it is a great time for us to be together and talk while we do what
we all enjoy doing. Our passion for the outdoors is one of the biggest things
we have in common. Most of the best memories and best times I can think of are
being in the outdoors with my dad and brother.
I
guess a third symbol of my life could be a hammock. It is a comfortable place
to rest and relax on a good day. This could symbolize my life because I like a
generally laid-back lifestyle. I like being free for most of the time and doing
things that I enjoy doing.
The
symbols I chose tell about the biggest parts of my life. They picked out the
main aspects of my life so far and who I am - where I am from, what I like to
do, and how I like to live my life. These little pieces of my life help portray
and sum up who I am.
