I live on the side of Cleveland that is not appreciated like the other side that everyone else lives on. It is like a war, everyone takes sides. One side is great, the other, not so great. It has been like this for a while, where the people take their sides and stay there. I have lived on the good side, but only up until 3 years ago. We had to move here because my parents didnt have enough money to live their**,** so we moved here. Everything was going down hill for me having no friends. I was out walking last week, and then I discovered the garden. I saw tons of kids and adults all planting there seeds and feeding there plants. I got an idea in my head that maybe, I could join the garden. Then, even better, plant something for my parents, for a present. The only problem was, if I asked my parents for money for seeds they might get suspicous and wonder what I am doing and find out. I was really thinking and then a man told me that there was a wall and that you make an idea for the garden and then, if you win you would win $15.00. That really got my attention so I went over to the wall and wrote down an idea. Later, a man came and took the list home and said that he would announce the winner tommorrow. The next day I went back, and sure enough, I won! Then I got the money, ran to a store, and bought 3 packs of wheat seeds. I got wheat seeds because then I could give it to my mom who will make it and then my dad would sell it. I had it all planned out, grow, bake, sell. Over the next few weeks I would go back to the garden everyday to feed them. Now they are ready to pull out and give to my parents. I cant wait to see the way they react.
