I have a sense of place here as this is a place I have repeated encounters with. Since secondary 1, I have been going to the field whenever I had a break. I enjoy going there as I love playing football with my friends. Moreover, this place holds memories of glorious victories and losses with friends. Thus, this is my sense of this place.

iT was the place where I did my first clean pull up which was a MASSIVE win and was CRAZY to IMAGINE. I had always wanted to do a proper pull up but once I reach half way My strength just TAPERS and FADES away which makes me unable to complete the pull up. I still remember that day even though no one was watching i just thought of trying a pull up for fun but i didnt expect myself to acctually complete it. I felt tike a NINJA and that pull up brought my confidence up, which was at a all time LOW. I still visit that place whenever I go to recess, and do pullups each time i visit. This is why its a positive sense of place.

I have a sense of place here because

Last year, during recess, my friends and I would hang out in this place, where we would play board games like UNO and Janga. Every week we would look forward for the recess bell to ring just to rush and save a spot in this room. This is the place where my fondest memories of my friends are built. Therefore, I have a strong sense of place here.

I have sense of place because

This is the only place that I have repeated encounters other than my classroom. This stall has meanings to me because it sells Malay cuisine which reminds me of my country, Malaysia and the food is top notch. I will either get Nasi Biryani or Nasi Lemak with an egg or chicken finger for lunch and it would only cost me $3.50 dollars at most. This place is significant for me because this place prevents me from starving and the vendor is hospitable. Besides, the table in front of this stall is the gathering place for my friends and I during recess.

I have sense of place because

I have repeated encounters as I always walk on this pathway before class and after class. This can be an ordinary pathway for many, but it is significant to me. I like this pathway when class ends as it means temporary freedom for me as there will always be school. I don't like this pathway before class starts because it means I will have to spend at least 5 more hours at school. It is certainly significant to me although the feeling is equivocal.

harshini_tharmaraj — 2025-01-16 12:35:47 UTC

I have a sense of place here because:

It holds a significant memory, deeply ingrained in my heart, of the moment I first arrived at this school with my family.
