Importance of Origins
The place that is most important to me is my hometown. My hometown is Columbus.
This place is most important to me, because this is where my life began. Although I have lived in Lorain for most of my life, Columbus is still my home. Columbus and I have a special bond that has stood, and will stand, the test of time.
Columbus is a lot like Lorain, buy is also extremely different in many ways. Columbus has plenty of residential area, like Lorain, but there is also plenty more factories than in Lorain. Lorain is a city centered on commercial business. Whereas Columbus is a industrially centered city.
I have spent almost half of my life in Columbus. I can remember all of the stores there that don't exist here. My favorite shop was Kroger. Once, there was an extremely dangerous hail storm, and I hid in there for nearly half an hour, and hung out with my uncle while he was on break.
Columbus was a city that shaped who I am today. One day, I hope to return and have the experiences I had as a child.

Summer Time Stories
My summer was uneventful in terms of excitement. Although the summer was quite tame, I did have one exciting misadventure. I took a trip to Columbus.
After a three hour drive on the highway, we arrived at a park in Franklin County. The last time I was here, I was maybe nine years old, but I remember it like I was there yesterday.
Since I was born in Columbus, I have a special connection with it. This is my hometown. I grew up here for a majority of my life, and I missed it. I wish I could move back one day, but for now, life goes on.
I saw my grandma and aunt for the first time in about a year. It was a fun reunion, but a downpour was brought down upon us, and we had to leave a bit earlier then previously expected for our grandmother's home. We stayed there for a few more hours, then decided to leave. The highlight of the trip was being able to have White Castle on the way back up here.
This was the biggest thing that happened this summer, and I am happy that it did happen.

The Meaning of a Name
My name is my name, and I would not have it any other way. It is an old, stone age, battle worn name. It has held many titles in its lifetime, like a soldier at war.
Alexander in Ancient Greece, meant leader and protector of men. This follows the life of the great general Alexander of Macedonia. His empire was one of the biggest the world had ever known, and he made sure every person knew kis name. this was hundreds of years ago.
More recently, Alexander Graham Bell created the telephone. He set in motion a chain of events that led up to what our communication capabilities are today. He was a brilliant man, and one day, I hope to be just as bright, if not brighter, the he was.
These men, and many more, have left a legacy that will be hard to live up to. That said, my name is a badge of honor. It displays my personality,and my life. It is my name, and I would not have it any other way. I am Alexander, and I will be, forever.
