HS Honorable Mention Essay: A Window into the Past
Last summer, I visited my grandparents’ house. Every morning, I woke up early to the sound of birds singing. One day, my grandmother took me for a walk to the nearby forest. The sun was rising and painted the sky with beautiful colors. As we walked, she showed me many plants and explained them to me. We found a small stream, and I watched the water flowing gently over the rocks. My grandmother shared stories from her childhood, and I listened carefully. Her stories were like a window into the past, and they were full of joy and sometimes sadness. We sat quietly and enjoyed the peaceful moment. I felt a deep connection with nature and my family.
