A Narrative Essay About Moving To A Small Town

Improved Essays
Since the day I was born, I’ve lived in a small town. Okauchee, Wisconsin consists of around 4,500 people, a lake, one park, and about five bars within a two mile radius. That’s all. As I continued to age, and the natural curiosity of my teen years set in, it didn’t take long for me to begin exploring every street in my small town. No rock was left unturned. After about a month, there was no where left to go, I’d seen it all. Since then, I knew that I wanted to move away to a city when I grew up. I was captivated by the large amounts of people and endless possibilities for exploration. When I visited the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the fall of my junior year, I knew that it was exactly the place I was looking for. I was especially enthralled

Such was the case for me. My family moved when I was just turning three years old to Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, a small town of about 8,000 people, located about thirty miles from Madison. Mount Horeb is a quaint suburb known for its Norwegian heritage. It is a fine place to raise a family, but as I got older, I realized that I no longer felt welcomed and sheltered by the small and tightly-knit community, but rather I felt trapped, paralyzed by the limitations of a suffocating town.…

Here I will show that people can say wrong things about neighborhoods but yet may not mean it but can easily offend not just one person but a whole community as well cause short and long term harm. .…
