In many ways I am glad that I grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Negaunee is a town of 4,600 and everyone knows each others names and business. It is easy to get a label and hard to get rid of one. There are many downfalls of growing up in a small town, such as lack of diversity, opportunity and privacy as well as extremely cold, long winters. I think that the benefits are different for everyone. Some people look at the beautiful land we live in and are greatful for Lake Superior and trees that surround the U.P. and choose to never leave, others, such as myself, are greatful for the landscape and beauty that I grew up with, but am itching to see what else is out there.
