Growing up as the youngest in the family, i always liked to go to festivals, carnivals, and even city fairs. Lights, rides, games, different foods- are things that amuse me to festivals. I would run off and get lost the minute i step in the festival. So curious with everything around me that i would walk in circles. Festivals that are my favorites is Mardi Gras, Jazz festival, and Vudoo festival. For Mardi Gras, i remeber i would wake up before dust and go with the family to wait for the parades. We would stay for hours. We would go home with four or five bags of beads. When i attend to these festivals i feel the culture and spirit around me. All the art, food, and music puts me into somwhat like a trance. After my family finds me running around, i would catch a beat down the rest of the way home in the car. Since i am older, i really don’t have much free time. Working thirty hours and going to school full time takes a toll on my life. Occationally i would request off for the festivals or any other events. But, working in retail, work never gives me the oppertunity to have my life to myself.
