Near and Dear

For my near and dear homework I took a picture of my mom, because she is very near and dear to me. She is always there for me if I need anything, like help on homework or if I am hungry. She helps me when I need advice or if I need assistance with anything. She is a type of person I want to be when I am older; she is a hard worker and kind to everyone. Everything she does improves something else. Whenever I am having a bad day, she knows, without me telling her, and she helps me get my mood back up.

Special Place

My special place is at my home, my desk. Almost every weekday I spend at least two hours at my desk doing homework. On the weekend I surf the internet and play video games. At least of my free time is spent at my special place. What makes my special place so special comes down to many things, such as the light, the organization, and the time I have spent so far. My desk, has a lamp on top of it. This lamp shines really bright, for those nights I have to stay up doing homework. It always is bright enough, but not too bright to where is blinds me. My desk has three shelves to the side, which are usually organized. This helps me concentrate and keep my work together. I also have my laptop and pencils right next to it, within reach if I need to use them. I can also pull out a drawer if i need more space. Overall, all the time I have spent doing homework, or just wasting time at my special place has made me treasure my time there, the place where I can do everything and anything I want.
