My Hometown, Shawnee, Kansas

grew up in Chicago, Illinois, a beautiful city surrounded by violence and controversy by the media. I found things more simple when I was kid growing up here, there wasn't much to worry about but as I got older things became more complex here. The sounds of the " L "' or as you know it as, The Train, and the roaring sounds of cars passing by my house made me feel alive while growing up and as a matter of fact still does. You could wake up in the morning and see the vibrant blue skies being pierced by the skyscrapers and see other kids playing ball or riding their bikes. When it was summer time I would play ins sprinklers or go downtown and play in the fountains with my family. Of course, like most big cities I had to watch my back while growing up because you never knew what somebody was up to. It's weird really growing up here because you never know what's going to happen next , wether it's a good thing or a bad thing. All I can really say about growing up in Chicago is that if I had the chance to redo it, I'd do if a million times.

The surprizing thing that I recognized when I studied at college is the way people greet each other around the world. After asking someone about name, we usually inquire about where he or she is from. I believe that we ask, not just to indentify the location of where our acquaintances live, but because we realize that their answers tell more about them. My answer for the question “where are you from?” is always Vietnam, my home country. For every Vietnamese like me, home is an important and meaningful part of our life. It becomes a vital part in our culture. The more I live far away from my house, the more I know how it is important to me. Moreover, I acknowledge that not only our homes define who we are but we also define our homes.

If there were one thing that shapes my identity the most, it would be my home. For most of my twenty year existence, I lived a fairly comfortable life in the sleepy town of West Salem, Wisconsin. It was the type of town where

This is Shuchang Lou. I come from Nanjing, which is one of the biggest and oldest city in China. I am the single child in my family and that is a common phenomenon in new generation nowadays.

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

Despite the fact that I’ve lived in several different places, I consider Burns Flat, Oklahoma the place that I grew up in. It’s here in this town that I’ve spent the most time in and experienced the most. It is where I broadened my horizons, made lifelong friends, and set a goal in life for myself. While I may be leaving this small and dusty town soon, it’ll always hold a place in my heart as home.

When I was four years old we moved to Oskaloosa, Iowa. It was a small town of 15,000 people and became my home for the next 5 years. My favorite memories from Iowa are fishing with my father and competing in local fishing tournaments. It was a hobby we both loved. We would wake up bright and early nearly every weekend and spend all day on the lake. Growing up in Oskaloosa also had its disadvantages. My father was the chief psychiatrist at the local hospital and was well known for his work in the area. Unfortunately, his patient population grew

South Korea is a place one would be proud to call their home. The welcoming nature one feels upon moving to Korea is a warmth that this essay has tried to portray.

Home is what I consider, Harrington Park (HP), New Jersey. A town that is about one square mile long, with only one traffic light with one school that is Kindergarten to Eighth Grade.
