    In Lakton, the north-east would be considered a “younger community”. Both of the schools were located nearby to one another because typically, parents don’t prefer to move until their children have gone off to college. This area has a relatively higher residential density because when young people begin their own lives and look for places to live, they are less likely to look into buying detached homes over single- or double-bedroom residences like townhouses or apartments. As they save up and grow older, they will then look for houses with the white-picket fence where the grandchildren can come over and play on the tire swing. This is why the larger houses and detached homes are across town, away from the schools.…

    In freshman year I moved out of the school district with my mother, my brother, and my mother's boyfriend while my father moved into my old house. I was now left with two options: I could either continue to enroll in school at Massabesic High School or I could transfer to Kennebunk High School. See, my mother was just going to drive me to my existing bus stop every morning if I stayed at Massabesic but changing schools was starting to peak my interest. I started doing some research on both schools, making a compare and contrast chart while my knowledge grew. I looked at academics, statistics, student-to-teacher ratio and the whole nine-yards.…

    I don’t believe that any town should just give up and die. Smaller towns tend to have less to work with but that’s no excuse for allowing their city to fall into ruins. Community leaders and members have to realize that growth doesn’t just happen magically, it must be worked for. Community leaders have to research and find brokers and economic developers to help their town to grow and flourish. This allows those brokers and developers to grow their assets and the community to grow in ways they could of never imagined.…

Most of the students that were at Marvin had come from Weddington after the school became over populated. I was nervous to see if the schools would be all too similar, however Weddingtons nickname was Weed-ington, so my fears were not too great. I was pleasantly surprised at what I…
