Personal Narrative Essay: How Minnesota Is A Place For You

Mounds View got its name from the mounds or small hills that once existed, but were removed during World War II when the land became used for an arsenal location. The mounds were mostly littering the northwest corner of the township, and were tall enough to be seen from almost anywhere in the area. The Township of Mounds View was established the same day that Minnesota became a state, 1858. With a substantial population, and neighbored by Blaine, Arden Hills, New Brighton, and Spring Lake Park, Mounds View is fully established. This city is a great location in which to live, as it is large enough to offer everyday amenities, but small enough to contain calm residential neighborhoods.

If you ever come to the Twin Cities, like most sheep you're going to want to go to the Mall of America. This is fine and I understand this because 1) you've been programmed to and 2) there isn't much else to see in the Twin Cities. Oh yes, I'm sure they'll tell you to see either a Twins or Vikings game. Yes, I'm sure the locals will insist you check out our incredibly mediocre downtowns. And the truly delusional Twin Citians will perhaps fool you into going to the worthless and talentless Walker Art "Museum." But all in all the Twin Cities suck and I cannot recommend you come here for much of anything.

The land of 10,000 lakes—Minnesota—has a diverse culture and people, who came together to create a diverse and compelling history. Within the boundaries of the state, the history started early, way before the European settlers came to America and started to explore westward. The first people to inhabit the state were tribes of Native Americans. Slowly, the Europeans started to move into the territory that would become Minnesota. These Europeans had the population necessary to establish Minnesota as a state in 1858. The first volume of this book explored the early history of Minnesota, to 1880. This volume, the second, will explore the history of the state from 1880 to the present. Like the first book,

The Wisconsin Glaciation may of happened a long time ago but it helped form this great state of Minnesota. The melting of the glacier made ten thousand lakes, making Minnesota a unique state. After the glacier had melted it left huge features that would pathe the way for settlers. Some features are the ten thousand lakes or the Mille Lacs moraine. Learning about glaciers and erosion can tell us a lot about our past and what animals roamed here in the northern United

What do people typically think of when they hear someone say ‘Michigan?’ What is Michigan known for? Some people might think of Detroit, others might think of cold winters, but for most people, it’s the great lakes, it’s water that comes to mind first. Michigan is easily recognized from a map and even from a globe. We are the mitten that is surrounded by great lakes.

Imagine yourself on a road trip to a place where the weather is different and the places are new to you. In a place where you only know family and no one else. A feeling like no other, that’s what I felt, knowing I was going to live in this new place.

Michigan has a pretty unique shape compared to other states, and it has a very large water supply with the Great Lakes surrounding it. Michigan’s Lower Peninsula is shaped like a mitten, and its Upper Peninsula is shaped like your hand being held out to shake someone else’s hand with your thumb and pinky extended outward. These shapes are the reason people will reference their hands if you as a Michigander where they’re from. To clarify what Michigan looks like here is a picture.

When June, 2015 came around my time in Iowa was coming to an end. We started packing and getting everything ready to leave, I spent as much time as i could with my family and best friend. June 17th the day we were leaving I had a lot of mixed emotions at the moment, seeing my bestfriend cry, me not wanting to let go of my granny from our hug and saying bye to the rest of my family. I just thought to myself. Am I really moving?

The state that has been chosen was Wisconsin. The state was chosen because it seemed very interesting. The state was never visited by my family.

Since 1849 Saint Paul has been the capital city of Minnesota. It is located along the banks of the Mississippi River on the east-side of central Minnesota. Saint Paul is located adjacent to Minneapolis which is the most popular city of Minnesota. Saint Paul and Minneapolis are collectively known as the Twin Cities metropolitan area. These two cities together make up the fifteenth largest metropolitan area in the United Sates. Approximately 60% of the U.S population lives in this area. The rest of the state is called "Outstate Minnesota" or "Greater Minnesota" (U.S. Census Bureau, 2007).

I am from Cleveland, Ohio (and it does, in fact, rock) and still enjoy going back there. I know a lot of people don't understand why I love it up there because it is "cold." I know it is cold. I lived there. I like cold weather. Skiing, leaves changing, hanging around a fire when it is blizzarding outside, all that stuff. If you aren't familiar with the experience of being in a bar with friends while it is snowing like hell outside and a great game is on and the music is great, then you have seriously missed out. Besides, it was home and I have great memories of it, so... And my family is still up there.

Immigration and Migration have greatly impacted Minnesota history from the state’s beginning to the present. The impact of migration from the end of the 1800s to the Vietnam War to today has brought social, cultural, and political changes that have shaped the state. Within each time period, different ethnic groups migrated to Minnesota, including: Europeans, Africans, and Asians. People of different backgrounds moved to the same location, bringing their culture, views and beliefs with them. The migration periods: the iron range from the end of the 1800s to 1920, after the end of the Vietnam War, and today contain similarities and differences. There’s no doubt that the migration of people has greatly influenced the present, as will the migration of people today influence the future.

I am a South Dakota girl through and through. I grew up in Clark and haven’t been far away from there since graduating in 1993. I attended SDSU where I started as a music major and quickly learned that I was not meant for that classroom. My high school English teacher gave me some excellent advice during Christmas break of my freshmen year, and I never looked back! In my 16 years as an educator, I have taught a wide range of ELA, Speech, Journalism, and History classes to 7-12 grade students in a number of A and B schools in the Watertown area. I have landed back home at CHS where I have taught 9-12 ELA/Speech and K-4 PE for the last four years.
