My Favorite Place
was at the Bank of California and I worked there for ten years. I started on the third shift and learned a lot, but after three years, I got tired of working from midnight to seven o’clock in the morning. I waited for a position to open and transferred to daytime and the lock box department. I made deposits for big companies and customers and then called them about their deposits. I miss the four seasons. I loved the spring because you can see all the plants bloom. The summers were mostly spent at the beach sunbathing and enjoying the nature. In fall, you see all the leaves changing colors, some green, some red, and some yellow. Winters were chilly. The snow on top of the mountains was white and very pretty. With all the nature, you feel like you are in heaven. Southern California has it all. Gisela Villar works at Miami-Dade County Park and Recreation and has learned a lot in the past two years from the Project LEAD program. Her tutor is Barbara Papademetriou.
Alabama My favorite place is Alabama. There are three reasons Alabama is my favorite place. It is my favorite place because it’s an excellent place to raise children, it has great weather, and it has a low crime rate. First, Alabama is a great place to raise children. It has caring neighbors who will watch your home when someone is not there. It’s quiet with no loud music, no arguing, and no rowdiness. Second, Alabama is my favorite place because of the great weather. It is not too cold for me to go outside. It doesn’t rain much, so I can go out and hang out clothes on the clothesline to dry in the sun. Third, I like Alabama because of the ubiquitous low crime rates. The crime rates are low because there are few shootings and homicides and not many robberies.
