There’s something about the D.C. area that never fails to amaze me. It’s an incredibly inspiring place to be in, even if only for a few moments. People are hustling and bustling, trying to get something done — whatever that may be. The people in D.C. are extremely determined and once they set their minds to a certain goal, they are sure to complete it. You look one way and see the White House and look the other, and see the Capitol building. Everyone has a goal in this city. Whether it be to end global warming, or just make it to class on time. Maybe that’s the reason I love the Washington D.C. area so much. Or, maybe, it’s because every time I visit the city, I always find a new favorite spot. For example, this last time I went, my brother and I were wandering around when we stumbled upon a small garden hidden between some museums. It was so unexpected, but so beautiful. The lighting was perfect, so, of course, I had to snap a few pictures. Out of all the times I have been to D.C., I had never once come across this little oasis. For those moments we were sitting there, we were able to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and just enjoy the presence of each other. Maybe that’s why I love the city so much. Perhaps it’s because of the amount of history the city holds. Everywhere you turn, there’s some sort of story to go along with it. And it’s not just the memorials and museums that hold the history. Just walking around the city you can tell that it’s a city with many stories to tell. The city definitely makes you think about what is and, definitely, what was. But, when you’re there, you’re able to create your own story, one that will be embedded in the city — forever. Maybe that’s why I love D.C. so much. It’s a storybook with an endless amount of blank pages, just waiting to be filled.
