Personal Narrative: Home Is Where You Make It By Joe Dirt

“Home is where you make it”- Joe Dirt. As a child I grew up in a country setting. We lived near small towns but not in them. I did not particularly like living in the country, so when I moved out, I chose to live in a small rural town. I like living in a small town because it seems to be safer, easier to get around, and much cheaper than big city life is.

I favor a minimally populated area because that’s where I have grown up. Living in a town with fewer people means commuting to work, school or the store is faster and easier because street lights are much shorter since there are fewer cars trying to get through them and traffic tie ups do not occur since there are not hundreds of people all trying to go in the same direction at once. Small towns are easy to navigate because the streets are minimal which makes directions simple and much easier to learn and
