My Neighborhood 
I live in a really small building of five floors, 3 apartments for each floor. I live with my mom, my dad, my sister and my siberian husky "snow". At the entrance, at the left you can find a small playground, filled with different types of flowers and games for the kids to enjoy like a slide, two swings,etc. At the right you see a pool in form of an L. I don't actually know that much most of my neighbours, i only hang with the ones who have lived here since my parents moved here. Most of my neighbours are grown persons, some of them are very hateful and bitter, you can spite that with only being around them. I'll rather stay away from all of them, but despite this facts I'll always be polite and respectful to them even tho if they are not to me, that's what my parents have taught me my whole life. I live on the apartment in the middle of the third floor, I consider that my apartment it's really big, it has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Near the living room is a really cute balcony that my mom has decorated with a bunch of flowers she planted , because she loves gardening.
