My first Christmas tree 

I remember when I built my first Christmas tree from scratch. I used newspaper strips, glue and spray paint with glitter. Then I used paper balls, ink, paint and string for ornaments and a toilet paper roll for the trunk. The tree wasn’t so hard to put together. I was in 3rd grade when I made that tree, I named it “The Tree of Washington.” My “Tree of Washington” sat in my living room for three and a half years. 

When I started getting older, I loved drawing things. Art has been my thing since the third grade. I just think my talent is in my hands. Really that is where my talent is. I love poetry as well as crafts, art and story writing. There’s still some work I need to do. I know I can do anything as long as I work hard towards it.
