Renovated House
When I finished my freshman year, I came back to house that was literally destroyed. The windows were removed, and there was a lot of construction equipment. All I wanted was to come back to the old house with its bright yellow sidings and cracked red bricks which completed the rest of the house. However, I came back to a house full of chaos with construction workers demolishing everything inside of the house. My mother wanted to demolish the house to the ground, so she could rebuild it the way she wanted it. In the meantime, I had to move to a rented house in West Hempstead, NY, where it had a completely new setting and was somewhat peaceful. One part of West Hempstead was full of poverty, and the other extreme side was full of mansions and sports cars. So there were extreme ranges of status and wealth. The house was nothing compared to my other house because it had many irregularities. First off, the door with the screen was annoying because it made it hard for someone to open the door to enter the house. Next, the basement smelled moldy and wasn't even completed. It still had broken walls, dirty floors, and an incomplete set of stairs. It looked like it came straight out of a scary movie, something like the movie Saw, where the people were tortured to death. The second floor had rooms that were comparable to walk-in closet. Additionally, it was desert hot, and we only had fans to cool the room, which didn't really help at all. So, after this school year in Cortland, I hope to go back to a house that has high ceilings, complete stairs, and bigger rooms. Moreover, I could go visit all of my friends because West Hempstead was about thirty minutes away.
