My very own Barbie Dream House would be nestled in the Green Mountains of Vermont, somewhere that I can wake up in the morning, and look down to see the Champlain Valley sprawling out below me. This Barbie house will smell of maple, I'll walk out onto my porch in the morning and I'll feel the crisp crackle of red and yellow leaves beneath my feet. This house will be adorned in autumn colors, like the leaves on its porch. The walls will be red, complementary to the Cherry Wood support beams that will hold the roof above my head. During Halloween, everything will smell of apple cider, and those support beams will be draped with take cobwebs. Those cobwebs will have plastic spiders embedded into them. If there should be any type of spider in a Barbie Dream House, it should be plastic ones. I want every wall to have windows, ones that nearly stretch up to the ceiling. I grew up with the blinds drawn across the windows, and I think for my own Barbie Dream house, that should be different. I want the sun to come through them, I want anyone curious enough to be able to look through into my House. What will this house look like? Easy, this house will look like home. My own Barbie Dream Home.

My dream version of my future self is someone who is a positive influence on the people around me, to serves my community through education and volunteering.
