Description:
The sunny days draw closer. My parents' hard work paid off. I get to dream bigger. This reminds me of my childhood memories where my parents would work for my education, in turn for me to focus more on my studies. During this time, I produced my childhood dreams and imaginations. The field of weeds on the side of the freeway depicts freedom to move and be carefree.

Ever since I was young, I've always been hyperactive. My hobby and one of my favorite sports, running, feels to me like jogging through these weeds so that I can get to the top of the mountain ranges. I have set goals each time I climb up the stages of struggles. From the sunshine's warmth caressing my skin and the weeds pushing me to go far up the deep mountains of nature. The fenced up background symbolizes that I live secluded from how I was feeling back then in my childhood.

Now, I have to own up to expectations as a young adult and transition into being very responsible for myself, instead of my family. This isolation results in the loss of aspiration to come back to them because we "move on with our lives." Recently, I've been trying to get back to being carefree and healthily active. It's important because as I grow older, I will be experiencing sicknesses and taking careful measures.
