Paragraph

In the small town where I grew up I had numerous creative friends. Firstly, Mark, was a talented musician. When a group of us would all hang out on the weekends, he would entertain us by playing songs that he had written on his acoustic guitar. Secondly, Andrew, was a gifted artist; he could paint, draw and sculpt. He was able to draw really funny cartoons to make us laugh, but he could also create really dark oil paintings that looked like the landscape of a creepy dream. Lastly, Rob, was interested in photography and was always carrying his camera around, taking really unique pictures wherever we went. He could take a snapshot of an old garbage can and it would somehow be beautiful and a little sad. In conclusion, having such creative friends definitely made small town life much more interesting for me and I enjoy thinking about the time we spent together.

Please write a paragraph:

How has your family shaped you into the person you are today?
