I believe my patrounus would take the form of a salmon. The salmon is a strong fish that transitions into different stages throughout it's life becoming stronger along the way. I believe this is quite reflective of my life. I try to look back and use my past experiences to better my future. It's also symbolic of change and the strength to accomplish tasks which are both things I always strive to accomplish. Besides the fact, I have had a life long affinity for the ocean, yet I live in the mountains. This, too, is reflective of the salmons' transitional journey from freshwater to the sea and back again because although it can be fun and enriching to visit distant places, it always feels good to come back home. Like this fish it is strongest and makes it the farthest when amongst others which is symbolic of the belief that we are strongest when amongst our friend and family.
