Coffee Addicted
April 12th, 2005When I was in elementary school, I was not allowed to drink coffee. Fortunately, my mother had a weakness for coffee ice cream, and she reasoned that if she allowed herself to eat coffee ice cream, then she should allow me to eat it with her. So I developed a taste for coffee before I was allowed to drink it.
Throughout middle school and high school, I was allowed to drink coffee. I began with iced coffee in middle school and graduated to warm espressos in high school.
I loved coffee for the taste, and for the effect it had on me. I rarely felt jittery from drinking coffee. Instead, it relaxed me and made me feel at ease while doing my work. With a cup or two of coffee, my concentration was much improved.
