Where I'm From

 

Norwalk, Connecticut

Where I'm from there is variety.

Norwalk is part of the suburbs.

You can find yourself in a neighborhood where you can't see your neighbor from your window,

or in a more crowded area with a shopping center and apartments.

There’s normally a fair amount of traffic.

Afterall a Wikipedia search says the population in Norwalk is 85,603,

which is a fair amount of people.

And a good number of these people commute to and from New York,

so the parkway and I-95 are pretty stuffy in the mornings and later in the afternoons.

Where I'm from there is diversity.

There people of different ages, races, heights, genders, and walks of life.

And generally people are respectful of each other.

Overall these conditions make it a comfortable place to live.

If you find yourself bored in Norwalk,

you don't have to go far to be entertained.

There are fish are the Maritime,

books at both the libraries,

an ocean at the beach,

and movies at the theater.

In terms of my education,

7th grade was the year I went to public middle school.

Before that I went to Catholic school.

My father decided that it was a better place for me.

Although I disagree.

I did pretty well academically.

I’m just not really all that religious.

Having a 45 minute religion class,

along with various masses just wasn't for me.

Besides I didn't really fit in socially or in any other way really.

Now that I've graduated, I'm happier where I am now.

When I’m not in school or doing homework,

I like bicycling, video games, swingsets, and sleeping.

I have three younger siblings who like noise.

This tends to conflict with sleeping,

but we work it out anyways.
