For my final choice, I decided to pick the complex that was built for my senior year high school soccer team. I was finished being built a year after I graduated but I’ve played on it many times already. Before we graduated, our new coaches showed us pictures of the sketches and asked us our ideas, so we came up with ideas for the field that we got to change. We only got to play one game on that field because they couldn’t let us use it for playoffs. We actually had our reception there, after we won the State Championship and were able to put the trophy in the case as the first trophy that we won for the complex. Since it’s been built, it has been used for the Boys’ and Girls’ teams for almost 3 years now and the renovations still look like they were just finished building and I bet it will stay that way for a while with the way they built it.

My high school is the next building or buildings I chose because I had to spend every day there. During the three years, I was there in school, they were always constructing and renovating different buildings to try and accommodate all the students. Being involved in the spirit squad, leadership, and student council, I spent many days at the school aside from being there for school.

I loved my high school except for the fact that all of the different buildings were connected so during storms, cold weather, or Oklahoma’s always changing weather, it was very hard to dress for the weather. The buildings were also separated across the campus from each other so when moving down to Norman, it wasn’t very hard to adapt to walking far from building to building.

My hometown church is another important building where I spent a lot of my time as a child and growing up in high school. I attended most Sundays and Wednesdays here and was even employed under them for about 3 years. I played on a church basketball team with my best friends in the church until my Sophmore year in high school for fun. I was also involved in many volunteer services put on by the church such as city-wide garages sales, working at the donation center, and even helping to repair needs around the church. A fun fact is when the church renovated and added the new commons and auditorium, I was allowed to walk through the construction zone because my sister’s soccer coach was the contractor. He taught me about all the things he was doing to make the auditorium bigger and sound better for the choir which I found very interesting.  Even though the construction was finished early in 2012 its designs are still modern looking in comparison with today’s ideas.

For my first building, I chose the old house that I lived in for 15 years in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. My parents moved there when I was 5 years old and moved out of it once I got into college. This house holds probably most of my childhood memories ranging from birthday parties to after Friday night football games in high school.

Growing up, it was surrounded by fields so my friends and I would use the fields for baseball and offroading on our bicycles. It also made it easier that most of my best friends lived right down the street so we could make it to each other in a couple of minutes. My house was the house that everyone would drive over to no matter what time it was and my front door was always open. My parents were very welcoming and the house didn’t look like much from the outside but you could see the real beauty on the inside.

It was the best environment to grow up in because my parents loved having everyone over at their house and didn’t mind opening their doors to more teenagers. It always felt like a comfortable place to relax and that’s what I loved most about it.
