THE OUTDOOR FAMILY ROOM, Photo and Caption by Reina Delgado
It’s a typical summer day for my family sitting on the porch. My grandma and I are always outside in the summer. The porch brings me so many memories. Every Saturday we grill. My family and I are always having fun.
The porch is a hangout for all of my family, as if we are sitting in the kitchen. We talk about how our day was. It also brings sad memories, like when we found out that my uncle was in the hospital in critical condition. We all consoled each other.
Still, every time I come out to that porch I feel really good. My little nephew took his first steps on that porch and he lost his first tooth there.
The porch is where I practiced my speeches. I was in a speech competition and was really nervous about reciting in front of a lot of people. Practicing on my front porch in front of my family, imagining I was on the stage with a big audience, gave me strength.
When I actually presented the speech, I imagined I was on my front porch and magically my nervousness went away.
The porch brings us all together, yet everyone still goes into their own little world there.
