Your surroundings

This week in class we talked about how people grow up differently depending on where they live, who they are around, their family, and friends.  I have lived in the same place my whole life and i love it. its a safe neighborhood and the people around are nice and say hi to everyone you pass whether you know them or not. it is a friendly place to grow up and Ive made many close friends growing up who lived on my street or the street behind me. Growing up in an are like this definitely effected the way i interact with people. but one thing that i feel effected me was my middle school. it wasn't in the best area and the people there weren't the best. it was a little middle school and didn't have much money. When i ended up coming to high school my middle school got split up and most of it went to Mundelein and about 20% went to Stevenson. i think this made it hard for me to transfer into high school because i was going into a huge school barely knowing everyone is a freshman year was hard trying to make new Friends but once i did it was easy.
