Nearly all my life I have lived in Saint Charles, Illinois. To most people, the name Saint Charles is just a random city in a large world with no personal value, but for me, it is far more than just that. On the scale of the Earth, this 15 square miles town seems infinitesimally small, but this small piece of land holds nearly all of my most beloved memories, my dearest friends, and my loving family. My achievements through school, music, and sports all took place in this wonderful town that I'm so comfortable in. Going to college truly is the start of a vastly new chapter in my life. I will be living in an unfamiliar city with unfamiliar people and no memories. The greatest challenge that comes with college will be this new state of unfamiliarity.
