My Favorite Place by Isik Akyollu Denizman

I have a very busy life. I take care of my family. I teach four classes at Southern Regional Technical College in Thomasville, Georgia. I commute to work from Tallahassee to Thomasville for half an hour. There are the reasons; my favorite place is my home. Even though my job is in Thomasville, my home is very close to the border of the state of Georgia. Driving to work is not boring at all. Although I have a very hectic work schedule, I spend good times with my family, and I can relax, listen to music, and read a book. I can see peace and harmony in my home.
