I believe its bettter to live and grow up in a small town because its more maderen and quiet not much happens in a small town but word does spread fast and you know everyone youu go to school with some times your teacher might even been your softball coach or sport coach in general.

Its not croweded its decent and relaxing but can get boring sometimes. Teachers may know your siblings becausee they had you as a student in that class when you were there age. Its more homie and not so as Im alone because here people would give you the shirts of there backs to help you or your family and thats hard to find in

I would consider being from a small town a cultural influence on my life. In my small town, we have a population of 2,318 and my high school has a little over 200 students. This allows our teachers to individually cater to every student’s needs. However, being from a small town can shelter you and make you naive. You know everyone, trust everyone, and aren’t exposed to crime like the bigger cities are.

Growing up in a very little town in Illinois was a lot different than growing up in Houston, Texas. When I was in the fourth grade I found many things to have changed about my surroundings, I currently lived in a place where, the people thought and acted differently. I know now reading about it and understanding more that some of those changes were for the good and some were not. Small town living has its advantages such as, very close friendships, close approximately to may things, and friendly people. Looking back, I also realized that there were a lot of disadvantages such as lack of transportation, affects of a poor education, no opportunities for growth, crime, no diversity, and low paying jobs and housing. Now that I am older, and aware of the affects of living in a small town, I can see how these many things affected my life and will continue affect it in the future.

Living and growing up in a small town is better than doing so in a big city.

I grew up in a suburb of Kansas City for most my life. Two years ago I moved with my parents to a very small town where my dad grew up. Growing up in a larger town has shaped the way I act and feel towards people. In the small town I live in now everyone knows everyone, and everyone knows everyone’s business. That was never the case when I was growing up people minded their own business for the most part.

New Richland, Minnesota is the little back-country town that I grew up in. My family moved to New Richland when I was ten, and I lived there until I graduated High School. Folks from my hometown loved spending time out on the nearby lake, cheering on the High School sports teams, eating out at the local bar, and going drinking every weekend. The older I grew I realized that those activities did not amuse me in the slightest. That is why when I graduated High School I moved far away and never looked

Growing up in Ellsworth has been a fun experience. I enjoy knowing where everyone lives and knowing almost everybody. Being in a small town has its perks. I think it has made me be a social person because I am not afraid to talk to anyone. I see a lot of the people at my church, school events, or the parade. This encouraging to see because it shows how the community also cares about each other and like coming together. The community also comes together during a crisis. This not only makes me proud to live in a small town but it makes other at ease because they know they have support behind them no matter what happens.

Now you may be wondering why the heck would I move to a small town like Portage. The answer to that question is very simple because unlike other small towns we have 3 grocery stores including the following: ALDI, Walmart, and Pierces. We also have many fun things like skiing at Cascade mountain or going to one of our many parks. For the size of our town we have a nice theatre and once you have finished watching a movie you can stroll on over to our bowling alley. Most importantly we have a really nice and relatively new hospital for any of your medical needs.

When I first came to this class I had no clue what it was going to be about. I was born and raised in a rural town. I have also had to deal with all that comes with living in a rural town. Small town people gossip, trains coming in and out whenever they want (I never cared to sit and try to figure out the schedule either), or having to drive 45 miles to get literally anything for a decent price. The worse part also has to be finding clothes that no one else in the school would wear, so I would have to drive down to Florida just to shop for clothes – until people started figuring it out so then I switched to online shopping. The good part about living in a rural area I guess would be the quiet, stress free rides to school or work because it would take me about thirty minutes; those were always good moments to think. The thing about living in a city, like Tifton, is I do not see the stars like I would back home which always makes going home more admirable. Being in the class opened me up to my community more, and did get me more involved in it as well.
