Where I Lived..
Where I lived…
I’ve lived in many places growing up but I was born in Baltimore, MD so of course that’s where most of my love would go. Ayee, go Ravens! (lol) But as a teenager, my favorite place I’ve lived at would have to be Virginia. It’s where I met my first “love” and met all my, what used to be, friends. While living in Virginia, I lived in two places – Chesterfield, VA and Fort Lee, which is on the Petersburg and Hopewell line. Living on Fort Lee was my favorite. Fort Lee is an army base in which we lived because my mother is in the army. I lived in a neighborhood called Jefferson Terrace and I attended N.B. Clements Junior High for eighth grade. I also lived in Miami for about four years. I spent three years there during my last two years of elementary and my first year in middle school and then I moved back my ninth grade year when my mother was deployed to Iraq in 2009. Although I look at Miami as more of a vacation spot, I did enjoy living there my ninth grade year. I attended Dr. Michael Krop Senior High School and although I wasn’t taking my first year of high school as important as I should have, I really liked my school. It was an outside school and of course, since we lived in Miami, dress code wasn’t strict. (Thumbs up) While living in Miami my ninth grade year, I lived with my father and my sister in Aventura, FL to be exact. We lived in what used to be a hotel on the 25th floor. Our house overlooked water and plenty other tall buildings which looked amazingly beautiful at night. We also lived about three blocks from Aventura mall so my sister and I would walk there just about every day, shopaholics! Lol

    I grew up in a two small towns called Ruston, La and Grambling, La. I spent my childhood in Ruston and my teenage years in Grambling. The two towns are so small it's like 1 small town almost. I enjoyed my childhood there. It was a place where kids were free to run and play. Til this day it is still a place where kids can be free and mothers don't have to constantly fret about there child being kidnapped of the street. I remember being up the street outside playing jump rope, volley ball, kickball, football, softball, and basketball with all the neighborhood kids. When evening came and the sun went down I remember my mother standing in the yard calling my name for me to come home because it was getting late.…

    The neighborhood that I chose to visit was Corona. I chose a specific area which is 111st. I used to live there and haven’t been around for about 5 years. I was very much attached to that part of corona because I lived there almost my whole childhood, my school was a few blocks away from my house and everything was convenient for me and my family. I lived there from the age of three to the age of thirteen.…

    I moved to Colorado when I was about 4 or 5 when my Mother married this wonderful man who raised me to be the man I am today. It may sound strange but I loved the idea of growing up in two states because it gave me the wonderful oppurtunity to see the Great Rockies of Colorado and the Great Plaines of Illinois. When I was younger I moved between the states about every 2 or 3 years so half my education is in Illinois while the other half was in Colorado. Growing up in Colorado I had some incredible times like My brothers and I would spend hours in the summer digging in the back yard trying to see if we could actually get to China (never did) , while in the winters we would spend hours in the front yard building Igloos and slides when it snowed about 4ft. In Illinois the summers were equally amazing we would spend the days swimming at the local pool while we would spend the nights outside of U.S. cellular stadium, when the White Sox were good, a couple blocks down watching the fireworks go off either after a home run or at the end of the game. The winters in Illinois were brutally cold but that still didn't stop us from playing some hardcore tackle football at the High School or sledding down some insanely steep hills. These childhood memories will just keep getting fonder and fonder with time.…

    Thinking back on it now, Alaska was an important part of my life, having lived there for the majority of the time I’ve been alive. The small town of Eagle River was a great place to live, even if it gets very cold in the winter. Since I’ve lived there for so long, I learned how to make my way around from Point A to Point B without much hassle and figured out how easily friends can come if you try. Where I lived in a neighborhood that wasn’t too far away from a safeway, so I could walk there and do some errands for my folks, and maybe do some shopping for myself as well. There was a park just across the way, which is where I spent most of my days if I wasn’t being a lazy nerd at my computer. If the summer wasn’t rainy, it…

    That is right, the home that we dreaded but now missed. Throughout the rest of my childhood, I would spend my school years in northern Wisconsin and my summers in the Southside of Chicago. As I got older, I learned how lucky I was to have been able to experience both worlds. My cousins in the city were jealous we got to ride horses, milk cows, and ski in the winter. My friends in the country thought I was so lucky that I got to visit the Sears Tower every summer and knew of all the cool, trendy songs before the roller rink played them.…

    Parsons, Kansas, the place I were born and raised. I had been out of town before and went to another city and state but none to where I was willing to move when I got older. A large part of my family lived here, and this is where all my friends were from. My family was very close and we always spent the holidays together, so It wasn’t as if I was all alone at any time. Every one I needed was no more than a five- block radius from each other, so I could visit and have a good time pretty much all the time. Most of the friends I made in school didn’t leave, so I really had no reason to move when I got older. I enjoyed the country and all it had to offer I could go fishing, ride horses and make mud pies pretty much all day with the kids and go to the bars at night with my friends and family. I really could find no reason to leave, I worked at nursing home and had a pretty nice duplex that I never want to leave. I knew my way around like the back of my hands I had explored that town over the last 25 years; I could make a road map myself. My family was always having some kind of gathering on the weekend that I couldn’t be bored.…

    Glenwood, Glenwood, Glenwood, lol. Man its been a journey for me at Glenwood. Coming to Glenwood was the best decision my mom has made in my life. Before I came to Glenwood I lived in the dangerous part of the south side of Chicago. My family and I lived in a two bedroom apartment. I went to a public school right down the street but never experienced the ability to walk from home to school. My mom always made sure I was escorted or drove up to school when she was away at work. Reason for that was because she feared the danger of me being in the wrong place at the wrong time like many other young people that life was taken away because of somebody else’s stupidity.After a while my mom got fed up with the violence around my house. That’s when my mom decided to send me here to Glenwood.…
