Where you are from shapes you into the person you are today. So, if you were to ask me where I was from, I would gladly tell you I am from Rathdrum, Idaho. A city where only a few truly know what it is like to live here and only a few know how amazing this small city truly is. Rathdrum has been the only place I have ever really known; growing up and being raised here I never have had the appreciation for where I lived that I should’ve.
