Every day in my childhood whether its cold or hot youll see me and my friends playing outside. playing outside.We had less responsibilities (freedom).Nowadays whether your doing homework, babysititting ,housechores or yor your just grounded. We had a great childhood running up and down the streets best of all was winter all the kids came out with carrots and things to make a snowman . Me , ive always tried but mines just usually collapsed =(. Id fill up my tiny little fingers with crystal clean snow it felt like antartica . My hands were red and numb .I just love those days where the sun comes out beaming on your skin, people I I loved those days where the sun comes out beaming on your skin ,people jamming youd run in every ten minutes to get a cup of water. Id always run I to the store to get an ice .


That summer of 2010 we were getting ready to go to the park . we all loved the park for a few reasons ,a lot of kids would come to the park,kids would be jumping around the sprinklers,others would be high in the air on their swings it was just amusing. So we were ready to go ,when I went next door to get her ,her little brother opened the door “wheres dyja?” I ask “ shes in her room” I walk past him abruptly….. I open he rroom door shes there dixing her hair and everything “whereonly going to the park not no party” shes rieng her shorlaces on her new sneakers “ I know” she snaps back …………. When shes finally done we skip out of the building and onto the street of Sheridan avenue ; we walked into danger Tatiana she looks back at us and whispers to her friend dyja saids “lets cross the street” we do as she saids .
As we walk down on grant avenue , we start to race down the block and through the front entrance and head for the swings where theres a lot of kids playin. as we were there a stranger comes up to us and saids “tati is my cousin do you have problems with her then one of my friends said “no one has problems with her she likes to start”. Then tati came skipping over blushing knowing shes with a lot of people “I wanna fight the one with the green” then they were arguing back and forth minutes later they were physically fightin , I notice the girl has a razor so I tell the others who broke up the fight . when they let go of eachother her mom comes yeling so my friend got scared and saids “im going to tell her she hit me first” . after her mom comes up the stairs shes yelling and cursing and gets in my friends face , I pull her hand and say “ lets go home” her mom gets even more mad and starts cursing even more , we laugh and run out of the park. Fighting isn’t always theanswermy friend could’ve got hurt with the razor if itwasn’t for people breaking up the fight my friend could’ve gotten hurt.
