The house that I have drawn unintentionally reflected a few characteristics of me. In this picture we were tasked with having to draw an imaginary house with all the things we would want in it. Who would be in it? Who would be out of it? How many rooms are in that house? 

In this task, I drew a floor plan for my house. Right from the get-go, I drew a basic square and four floors that contain a dining area, rooms for friends and family, an event area, a gym, and a gathering area at the top. At the initial glance after finishing this exercise, I can tell that I’m not a person who goes deeply into the design and measurements of this house, but more onto the content inside the house and activities that can be done into it. This is true in some facets because I was never the person to focus on the details of what I do but rather the quality of the experience it permits me. I provided a family room too because family has always been part of my definition of home. I’ve always  believed that family is what makes a house a home. Another part of the house that I noticed, is that the “masters” bedroom should be naturally the biggest room in the house, but I didn’t make it such because I don’t prefer to have something more than what others have. I feel a sense of guilt if I have more than what others do. A striking part of my house is the space I provide for my friends and so called “squad”. From my alma matter, I got to go to school with my friends for more than 12 years and I have had beautiful experiences with them. They hold a special place in my place and I guess that’s why I had to give them a part of home. The “squad” room which is arguably not important to a home. These close group of friends that I have are used to coming to one house and camping out in a room after school and spending time with each other. Having known them for 12 years, they are almost like brothers to me.
