The street I live on has a lot of houses on it, and mine just happens to be one of them. Each house has its own driveway each one unique in its own way.

Growing up in America, I have always been surrounded by many cultures and different ethnic groups. Many of those cultures differ from my own traditionally. For the first half of my life, I was raised in detroit, a predominantly black city - I had always assumed. My family eventually moved out of Detroit and we moved to Inkster. Inkster was a much smaller city, but it was also a predominantly black city. In 2011, my family moved from Inkster, Michigan to Canton, Michigan. Although the two cities are less than a half hour apart - the cultural and ethnic groups are extremely diverse. While attending my freshman year of high school in Canton I realized, I was a minority there. More than half of the student body, more than half of the community

One of New York City’s most historic yet hippest neighborhoods, Chelsea has also come into vogue as a top business destination in recent years.

Although it has several drawbacks – namely a limited transportation network – its major selling points such as its trendy, creative appeal and diverse office inventory make it a solid deal overall for many companies.

There is less communications and interactions in the Upper East Side neighborhood due the large amount of businesses. Because people are trying to get in and out quickly, bonds are formed. This makes it impossible to formed relationships among community members. Also, most of the people in the neighborhood have home caretaker to run errands because they are busy with their jobs. In The South Bronx, relationships are formed among community member.

The neighborhood that I grew up in is a very rich, white neighborhood. Living in the neighborhood are roughly 30 families and only 2 of them are non-white. There is one Chinese family and one Indian family. Although I am not entirely sure as to why my neighborhood is the way it is, It could be due to racial segregation and redlining, which is denying services to certain area based on the racial composition of the area (Lambert Lecture). The result of redlining not only lead to people of color being stuck in the same neighborhoods, it only allowed white people to get out of these neighborhoods, which in turn lead to residential segregation. Because of this, when I was growing up all the “neighborhood kids” that I would hang out with, play sports and videogames with, were all white. Although we did not intentionally not hang

Your neighborhood doesn’t define who you are. For those who aren’t in your neighborhood but have seen or heard about it already have a reputation for you. But your neighborhood doesn’t define the way you want your life to be. For example, “Those who live in Ferguson are horrible people and no one would ever want to move there”, most people would say. Ferguson had one accident and now for the rest of your life Ferguson will be the place where no one wants to be.

I used to live in Oakland, which has a broad spectrum of people from all socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds and not one person seems to be “different.” In an effort to offer me a safer environment and better education, I was uprooted from Oakland and was forced to relocate. When I was in junior high, I moved

The sound of sirens mixed with flashing lights and gusting winds beating from the long helicopter blades greets you as you make your way from the stone wall to the front teal blue door that awaits you. A two story yellow tinted house that has been created into our own home over the past fifteen years, will soon be left sitting along the side of the ally on the right and the storage units to its left. In three short years learning to swim in the clear blue water that sits behind the house on Massie Street, playing Christmas games with family, and watching helicopters land will all become a part of the house that built me.

I attended Athens West Theatre Company’s performance of, Our Town by Thornton Wilder on October 8th, 2017. The production was directed by Larry Snipes and it was located in the Black Box Theatre in the Pam Miller Downtown Arts Center in Lexington, Kentucky. This show premiered in 1938 and it remains a classic play, and it is a winner of the Pulitzer Prize. Our Town is a show highlighting universal truths about birth, death, life, longing, love and marriage, looking back at America in the early 1900s.

The book describes Bottom as a neighborhood atop the hills, overlooking the town of Medallion in Ohio. The time is 1919, immediately after WWI. The irony in the name of the neighborhood is that instead of being located at the bottom, it is actually above the town. The name came from a white landowner trying to fool a freed slave into thinking that this location was more desirable than the valley because it was the “bottom of heaven--best land there is.” (p. 5). The trick worked at the time, but after settling in, most residents realized the inaccuracy of the statement.

Growing up in Miami I have gotten accustomed to the cold and impersonal interactions attributed to living in a big city. Although I enjoy all of the opportunities that are presented by metropolitan areas, it disheartens me to know that most people in urban settings do not know their neighbors. Via avian perspective, you can see the large-scale segregation of classes and ethnic groups. Little Havana, Little Haiti, and Little Puerto Rico are just some examples of the neighborhoods I have called home. As a multiracial child, I found it difficult to fit in when the typical icebreaker question was “Where are you from?” “Me?” I would ask. Knowing there was a narrow range of accepted responses I replied, “I am from here - from Earth... but more importantly, where am I going?” It seems a natural human characteristic to assign greater importance to our past experiences than to our aspirations for the future. In order to achieve what I want with my life I know that I must not dwell on the past but focus on the future.
