New Balance

I'm walking through the shoe store, stalking up and down the aisles, asking the shop assistants which direction they're in... and then I see them... New Balance shoes. Ever since I can remember, New Balance has been my favorite kind of shoe. I've always been fascinated with them, especially because of the large “N” on their sides. I like New Balance shoes because they look “cool”, and they make me feel “cool”. This shows that I like it when other people notice my footwear, and that I always try to associate myself with “cool”.

Death Car

 

I had finally passed the driving test and received my provisional license, meaning I could drive without a parent in the car. My mom handed me the key to the old beat up family minivan and said “It's all yours!” On the outside, I acted excited. I finally had my license and a car that I could drive where ever and whenever I wanted. But on the inside, I was dying. I thought to myself, “What will my friends think? They have nice cars like the Ford Focus and the Honda Accord. I'll be the laughing stock of the century.”

who I am and what I call home

My name is Robert Brehm, but I like to be called Robbie. I am a Junior in college, and currently a full time student at UMBC. My favorite activities include running, playing video games, and hanging out with friends. I was born in Jacksonville Florida, but the place I call home is Olney Maryland. When I was eight years old, my dad moved the family to Olney, and its where I spent my childhood. I love Olney, because its a relatively small town, so everyone in the community is really close to one another.
