Value is a thing that everyone wants, but not something that everyone thinks of as the same. Some think of objects being worth value, and others seeing the valuable moments. We all associate things differently, but how do most people think of value. I personally think of something valuable as a special moment that might take your breath away or even someone important. What if everyone thought that valuable meant things having a price, would those special moments be lost?
I pull my socks over my warm feet. I slip in my shin guards, and grab some white tape. I wrap my tape about 4 times moving up around my shin guard extra tight. Its hot and muggy outside and my face is already sweaty but I still gotta go to practice. I grab my one gallon water bottle and push it underneath the dripping ice dispenser. The loud ice comes smashing out into my water jug. Then the smooth relaxing water swooshes out into the jug. I grab it quick and run down the stairs to my dads truck. After about 5 minutes I arrive to the field and jump out the truck and thank my dad. The first thing that i grab is also the most important thing which is my bright, shiny, magnificent soccer ball. I named her Trudy Lightning, the reason is because its fast and as bright as the moon on a clear night. My whole team knows that its my ball and they love it as much as i do. Lightning is a Adias 450 special edition ball. A whole whooping $20. She is really special to me because when I'm playing soccer nothing else matters. I think of nothing and it clears my mind. It relieves my stress about everyday life. It just makes me feel like me.
The sound of laughter filled the air and the smell of homemade pies and Delicious turkey in the oven made my tongue water with curiosity. The bright lights of the Christmas tree and the little villages my mom puts up every year made the house light up. The warmth of the small fireplace underneath the mantle of various diverse Santa clauses made the house feel so cozy. Everyone is so happy and joyful while opening gifts and talking about the past and the future. The holidays are the precious times that you spend with your family and are the most valuable to me.
Love is a strong word. It should be used wisely. Love would have to be the exact word that i would use toward my family. They mean more to me than the world, then the universe. Family to me is like thin glass, fragile, beautiful, and can not be played with. My family is dear and so cherished. My mom is my best friend. I can talk to her about anything and everything. My dad is like my role model and a hero to me. My little sister is my baby. Although we fight constantly i lover her so much and don't know what i would do without her. My Grandparents are all my guardian angels I cherish each one in a different way but they are all so special to me. My aunts and uncles are all so sweet and loving and they mean the world to me. The last are my 5 cousins and i have a special bond with each one differently, but the cousin i value the most is my eldest one. Her name is Allison Marie Farr and for some reason we share such a close bond that nobody could break and i love her so much. The people in my life that are most important are my family and they all influence me in different ways and i want to thank them all for that.
Between my brightly colored soccer ball and my special family these two values seem extremely different, but can have similarities when you look at both in different perspectives. My soccer ball helps me play soccer which makes me happy and stress free, and my family makes me happy and stress free as well. But i would never chose something worth value over something valuable to my heart like my family. I would also never not play soccer because its something that i can do for myself.
