The Culture Of Yankton

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.

Paterson is very culturally diverse, and similar to New York city. Being a native to this city I can attest to this. One day you can meet someone who relocated to Paterson from a small town in Italy, and hear of how beautiful and full of color Italy is. The next you will meet someone who immigrated to Paterson from Liberia and hear of the hardships that where endured there. Being that you could meet

To avoid the confusion and the added explanation, I often tell people I am from Greensboro, NC. Being one of the larger cities in North Carolina, most people can easily recognize this area of the state, even if they are from other parts of the country. For instance, those who are college basketball fans are often familiar with Greensboro as it hosted the ACC tournament at the Greensboro Coliseum for multiple years. Though it is not being totally honest with others, it is not as far-fetched as it may appear. By car, it takes me less than five minutes to get to city limits and roughly twenty minutes to get to the heart of downtown Greensboro. My high school even had a Greensboro address, despite being out in the county. With a total land mass of 2.8 miles, Whitsett does not have a single school bearing its town name. For all intents and purposes, Whitsett is a suburb of Greensboro. Though I have close ties to Greensboro, I feel I ultimately experience a sense of misidentification. I have to constantly misidentify where I am from for others to gain a relative understanding of where I have spent practically the entirety of my life. In many ways, Whitsett does not feel like much of a place if you are having to constantly remind others that is, in fact, real and that it is a little town outside of

Vermont as a state is growing on me and I definitely feel a sense of place here. Ever since I visited Burlington I have been comfortable, the mountains and the lake are the main reason for my comfort. I remember being amazed looking in either direction and seeing the endless mountain ranges on the horizon, this was something I knew I could get used to. Perhaps the biggest reason I enjoy living in Burlington is it has a lot more going on than my hometown and also has a lot less going on at the same time. By this I mean, you can head downtown and feel the slight hecticness of a city or you can travel a half hour outside of Burlington and be surrounded by natural areas with little human population. I see Burlington, and Vermont in general as the best of both worlds.

My hometown is Warrenton, Ga , but most people say Dub-C. It's a very small town with a lot of people in it. There's a lot of drama in Warrenton. People steal from each other and kill each other. A lot of boys in my boondocks in a gang called blood.

I was born in a big city called Baltimore, MD, but raised in a small town called Saint Stephen, SC. My mother had to relocate in order to take care of my ailing great-grandfather. While working toward her

The Variety of people I meet has changed a lot since I moved to Kennesaw. The adults aren’t all just teachers or soldiers but are all kinds of different people. The kids aren’t all the children of military parents but come from many different kinds of families. In the Military everyone was basically living in the same conditions, the houses were the same, and everyone had, at least, one parent in the military which kind of leads to people being raised under the same ideas.

Nolensville, Tennessee. The place I call home. I have lived here for the past five years, and although I have not loved every second of it, it has grown to be a place I love to call home. I mostly grew up in Brentwood, Tennessee until I was 13 and got the news we were moving to a new town. I would have to change to new schools and make new friends while having to move houses too.

Michigan's capital and my current place of residence. DeWitt is wonderful place for children to spend their early years, and for many of my acquaintances, still a nice place to live. When I was young, Dewitt was a growing and friendly community. The atmosphere was brimming with positive attitudes and possibilities. It sounds corny, but honestly driving down the street, with every waving arm offering a warm welcome, you would think you entered a cheesy family sitcom neighborhood.

I was born in Lubbock, Texas at the local hospital and was immediately welcomed into the world by my loving parents and caring big sister. Most of my early childhood was spent moving from town to town in the panhandle of Texas. However, when I turned eight-years-old I traded the endless plains of the Texas panhandle for the lakes and trees of Bridgeport, Texas. This is the place where connected with the local community and grew closer with my family.

Cranston is a city with great people. It is home to two of our state’s Premier dining and shopping centers- Garden City and Chapel View. and is the third largest city in the state of Rhode Island. It has a Great police department with several divisions (Bicycle, Detectives, “Uniforms” or basic patrol, and school Resource.) We have a great fire department as well and we even have our own Hazmat team for it.

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

As one the of thriving small town cities in Oregon’s Pacific Northwest coastal region, Beaverton, Oregon sits in the scenic Tualatin Valley surrounded by natural landscapes of woodlands, open range grasslands and beautiful waterways. The combinations of small town comforts and big city amenities abound in Beaverton, making it a perfect location for setting down roots or simply visiting and enjoying the adventure of this diverse countryside.

I have lived in Plainsboro since I was a year old; before that I lived in Jersey City. Recognized as one of the top 10 “Best Places to Live” in New Jersey, Plainsboro is a tight-knit diverse community. The municipal building and the Plainsboro Public Library are home to many cultural celebrations of which the Chinese New Year and Holi are my favorites. The community events like the Egg Dropping Competition and summer potluck are also tons of fun. Our town center is always bustling with activities and is a good place to hang out during the summer.

When the days are shorter and the water is colder the tourists are driven away, leaving a small community, one of the greatest communities on the planet. So close that when someone dies it can affect the whole island. The best feature Nantucket has to offer is how the locals come together and help others in need. When something happens, news travels fast and everyone knows. Having a small community also makes our sports teams closer, we have no choice but to play together. We spend a lot more time together than other teams, every away game we have to take a boat then a school bus to the game. Doing that gets us more comfortable with each other
