"In January, I was..."

       In January, I was back in my home state of New York. I was still in high school but I was super excited being a senior and about to graduate. The past January in New York was very fun because all of the snow on the ground and coming from the sky. My girlfriend and I spent most of the time together out in the snow mostly having snow ball fights or sledding in Morgans Park. January is my favorite month of the year because the snow and the feeling of a new year makes me feel very relaxed. I feel like many people are happy in the month of January because their smiles are brighter than ever before.
      I miss January in New York. January reminds me of my family back in New York because I would always spend New Years with my dad. Knowing I won't see my dad for months and months apart always brings me down. My dad is more like a brother to me because he is young himself. We always did things together such as watching movies, playing paintball or even going out to dinner. My relationship with my dad always reminds me of the kids that say they hate their parents because my dad has made me realize how much he sacrificed for me and cared for me. That's why this January I'm hoping to go see my dad for New Years again!
