Throughout my life I have lived in three cultural distinct regions Lima Peru, White Plains New York and Baltimore Maryland. For the first two years of my life I lived in Lima, Peru and even though I never culturally adapted myself into the culture I would often visit for months and immerse myself into the culture. I can say with confidence that if I grew up in that culture I would not my be the same person I am today because of the fact that they are a collectivistic country and that would change my outlook on myself and the community around me. At around my second birthday my family and I decided to move to the United States in search of a better quality of life. While most of my family live in Baltimore, Maryland my father had already established himself in White Plains, New York a…
It felt sort of like in the book when Jeannette says, “We moved around like nomads” (Walls 19). I was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, and my family moved to Zanesville, Ohio when I was about nine months old. That move was hardly a tragic experience for me seeing as I don’t remember it, so I don’t think it really counts. I lived in Zanesville until I was almost nine years old. This was the only place I had ever known, and when my parents said that we were moving, I was in complete disbelief.…
Have you ever felt at home in a city, like you are supposed to be there it was your destiny to grow up there and to go to school there? I felt that way in Sartell, Minnesota, until I moved. My reaction was horrific, I didn't feel like I'd be at home there, but I met a lot of nice people. Moving to Bismarck has affected me for several reasons but I am preserving. Telling my siblings…
I remember the moment my mom told me we were moving to another town. I was only about 6 or 7 when it happened so I was rather excited when I heard the news. When I heard the news we were moving to Spearfish, South Dakota, which I had never heard of, I was wondering what kind of place it was. I am from the small town of Wall, South Dakota which unless you’re talking about a village, is pretty small. When I heard the news I wondered what kind of place a town called Spearfish might look like.…
When I was six years old, I started to get moved around from house to house. I lived in North Chicago, Illinois in a 3-bedroom red and burgundy colored house. I loved playing in the basement with my cousins and sister. We would hang a white hanger from the ceiling to act as a basketball hoop and use balled up socks to shoot baskets. We would stay down there until my granny called us up for dinner.…
I consider my hometown to be Grand Forks, North Dakota. I was born at the former United Hospital in Grand Forks in 1994, and have lived here for my entire life—with the exception of about a year spent in Walhalla, North Dakota, due to the flood of 1997. The schools that I attended while growing up are all within fifteen minutes of driving from my current house. My parents live just 6.2 miles away from me. Although Grand Forks is my city of birth, it wasn’t until I started college that I really considered it my hometown.…
I was born in Youngstown, Ohio. After being there for 2 weeks, my mother, father, and I moved to Georgia. There is where I went to PreSchool. I have early childhood memories of winter time and there would be just a little bit of snow on the ground. I always wanted there to be more so that I could make my first snowman.…
MOVING FROM STATE TO STATE TO STATE (only 3 times but 4 different houses) (this is also partially my life story) I was born in Salt Lake City, UT. I had to stay in the hospital for about 2 weeks because I had minor bleeding in my brain & a small hole in my lung. We then lived in a duplex, and my dad was a youth pastor at Mountain Side Baptist Church in Sandy. Then I think when I was a little over 1 year old, my dad became the pastor of our church, so we got to live in a parsonage for free as part of my dad’s salary.…

Mrs. Winn’s kindergarten class was probably one of my favorite elementary classes because I had my best guy friend, Cameron, in the class, and it was obviously an easy class for me. I remember whenever we colored anything or did any drawings, my teacher would always compliment my coloring abilities because I knew how to color within the lines; all the other kids had scribbles outside of the lines and their drawings would not be as neat as mine. Cameron and another boy named Jordy were my favorite people in the class and the three of us would always hang out together and play outside during recess. Jordy was my favorite until he snitched on me and told the teacher I did something I did not do. He eventually died out of my life because I did…

In movies, shows and songs, children and teenagers stereotypically hate their hometown. They rebel and are always searching for an adventure that brings them outside of the confines of the town that they have grown up in. For me, growing up in Roseland, New Jersey, was not like that at all. My hometown of three square miles was the perfect place to spend my childhood and formative years. Since I spent the majority of my life living in such close quarters with everyone in the town, very quickly the people and town instilled the values that I live by into me and shaped me into the person that I am today.…
