The Perks of Living in California Compared to Arizona:
Experiences are what generate opinions from others. Depending on how the experience was will ultimately determine someone 's opinion type (positive or negative). Living in two different states at two different stages in my life has some sort of influenced connotation on where I’d prefer to live; however, ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always dreamed of living in California. California is a better place to live in because of the opportunities, diversity, and atmosphere. Although we, Americans, may live on the “land of opportunities,” that doesn’t necessarily mean that still everyone is given a justified opportunity. Arizona is currently ranked 48 in education, whereas California …show more content…
The term "melting pot,” in my opinion, can be described as a culturally diverse group of people coming from different backgrounds and experiences. Although California isn’t completely the most diverse state, you will run into more diverse people than you would in Arizona. According to The Sacramento Bee, California has the largest Latino, Asian and American Indian population than any other state (Walters). By having more people of different backgrounds, it allows us as a people to grow further because we have knowledge of other’s experiences. We may not necessarily understand them, but we aren’t dumbfounded- we are more aware. Personally, I love meeting new people and also learning about them because you never know what that person can teach you based off of what their past encountering were.

Based off of my interactions with others who aren’t from here, they would never guess I was from Arizona. They describe Arizonans to be unfriendly and careless. When you walk in to Culver City Mall, you’re going to receive hello’s and smiles because people are just happy and more friendly. The benefits of living in California are the beaches.
