Differences And Experiences In Culpeper County In Fauquier County

For my second event I and two other class mates from Manchester went to the Clay County Historical Society. I have lived in Clay County for my entire life and I didn’t even know that there was a place like this located in Clay County, but we found out and went to it. It is located in the top of the public library. Its two rooms that are full of information of Clay County and other counties throughout Kentucky. It had death certificates as well as marriage certificates from all the way back in the 1800s.

Regarding Bridge’s transition last phase, the new beginning, I have feel occasionally. However, my feeling does not equate to CSU as my new home, just a general area. I hope that in time I can move in with my significant other and create a home for myself that feels right. Also, according to the articles I can make this easier on myself. One way I can make CSU feel homier would be to join a group. I am currently a member of two on campus clubs. Unfortunately, I have yet to attend any events that either have put on thus far, as they have conflicted with my schedule. I hope to be more involved with them as they create more events. Another way the article suggested was to travel abroad. I would love to talk to my councilor about what options are available for me to do so. I believe traveling abroad would assist me in transitioning by being able to experience a different culture. After being raised in the same school, and small town my entire life I have little cultural experience. I believe traveling would help me expand my

Moving was something that I thought I would never have to go through, but I did, and it made me see the bigger picture of things. Little things in my life have changed since I have moved, little things that I didn’t really have appreciation for, or didn’t even notice before, are some of the things I miss the most. The sayings, “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” and “You don’t know a person until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes,” I understand now that I have moved and experienced judgment and been on the other side of the glass. Moving taught me these things, which make it seem like I’m still upset about moving, and in some cases I am, but I cannot ever stay upset once I think to myself and wonder what I would have ever done without the people that I have met in Worland and the friends I have now. I can’t look back to when I lived in Casper and think of how my life would have gone on if I had stayed, and that doesn’t bother me because I actually think life is a better and a lot more fun here than it would have ever been in Casper. Moving has taught me some really important life lessons and has greatly impacted my life in a positive way, one that I will never

Recently my family was uprooted from our lovely little town in southeast Georgia and moved halfway across the country to none other than the home of the National Quilt Museum, Paducah, Kentucky. At first I was really hesitant, I mean I had good reason, what normal person wants to up and leave everything they’ve known their whole life? Well, obviously, after much debate with my family I ended up here at McCracken County High School, home of the Mustangs.

The question, “Where are you from?” is a difficult one for me to answer wholeheartedly. Anyone who was forced to move when they were younger understands the dilemma of being asked about your hometown. The word hometown can have a variety of meanings to people. Merriam-Webster defines a hometown as, “the city or town where you were born or grew up,” but to me a hometown is the place where you have the greatest memories. For this reason, I am unable to claim just one place as my hometown. The two places that immediately come to mind when I think of my hometown are Davenport, Washington and Rathdrum, Idaho.

The community where the fieldwork was performed is Allen County, located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Allen County is located in the Northeast corner of Indiana and is the second largest city in the state with an area size of 110.6 square miles in which Fort Wayne has a population size of 258,522. Fort Wayne is known for the three rivers that run through the city, which are the St. Joseph and St. Mary’s river that converge into the Maumee River. Additionally, Allen County has the largest Burmese population in the U.S. making this an ethnically diverse community. In addition, there are many different religions ranging from Seven Day Adventist to Muslim to Catholics to Baptists as well as Lutherans to name a few. A few of the Lutheran and

To some, moving can be seen as an unfortunate obstacle in life. To me, it is a familiar part of my life that has shaped me into a very sociable and accepting individual who can handle differences and change. I believe in the saying “home is where the heart is” and find it to be one hundred percent true. I have concluded that one does not necessarily need a hometown to make memories or feel loved, that is where the support of a good group of friends and family is invaluable. With a strong support system, anything is achievable. I am fortunate to have that support system through the love of my parents, my sister, and my friends. As I travel through life I continue to gain respect for relationships, the knowledge of others, and life beyond one town or one city. I am immensely excited about what the future holds and I am forever grateful for those that I have met and will meet along the

Nearing the end of my freshman year, my family decided to move from our small town of Talihina, Oklahoma, to here in the Millard area of Omaha. After moving, my personal life changed quite a bit, some things for the better and some things for worse. The school system here is far better than Talihina, but my social life definitely plummeted, along with my self esteem. I feel that I was more outgoing and had more friends in a tiny town in rural Oklahoma, than I do now that I live in Omaha.

Everyone belongs to a variety of communities at some point in life. I’ve recently been introduced to two brand new communities similar but different to the ones back home. The local community of Iola Kansas along with the basketball team of Allen Community College. I enjoy being with my basketball community it reminds me of home. However the small town of Iola does the complete opposite.

In combination with my uncertainty in myself, I also became homesick during the first quarter. Even though I wanted to attend a school far from home, I didn’t think I was ready to leave home. I didn’t want to leave my friends and family. When I arrived for move-in day, I

I grew up in a small town called Summerville. It is located in South Carolina about 2 hours from the coast. Charleston is a historic town that is close by. I loved growing up in this area. It was a very country town. Everyone drove, and still drives, lifted pick up trucks and loves to go four-wheeling, deer hunting, or fishing.

I’m an only child that has moved a decent amount in her lifetime. I was born in a small city near the Polish-Ukrainian border called Przemysl. After a few years, my family moved to Krakow, and I later spent a while with my grandmother in her village, Narol. In the middle of kindergarten, I moved from Poland to Northbrook, Illinois, and attended school there for two years. I later moved to Chicago Ridge, and just last year in August, I moved to Hickory Hills. Last year was my first year at Stagg, and I enjoyed it a great deal. For my freshman year I attended Richards. Moving after just becoming familiarized with Richards put me out of my comfort zone sophomore year and I had to talk to a lot of people to try to make friends. For this reason,

I was born in Wisconsin in a suburb outside of Milwaukee and lived there for the first four years of my life. Everybody in my family from cousins to grandparents lived there and still do to this day. From there my family moved to Belgium and lived there for the next three years of my

I’m from a town in rural South-Western Virginia. I grew up seeing what is often ignored in the

First and foremost, I cannot begin to start with how radically different this university and the diversity up here is compared to what I am accustomed to back home. Walking the streets here was definitely a culture shock for me at first. The different races and beliefs here were almost overwhelming to begin with, especially after one of our house meetings discussing those topics. Being around only one-thousand people my whole life, who all shared similar beliefs in many ways put a little shell around me. If someone was slightly different than everyone else, they were judged and sometimes severely bullied for just being themselves. I am so very thankful for the “eye-opening” that the University of Wisconsin-Madison has provided for me. It not only will allow me to see things with a different perspective, but it will also give me a new appreciation for all walks of life.
