I am from a small town only about an hour from Dubuque, called Davenport. I like to think that both these places are very similar in many ways, but of course they have differences too. The atmosphere of people as well as the demographics are similar: both towns are right on the Mississippi river, and the downtown areas remind me of each other very much. Davenport has access to only Illinois from the border of the state but is also twice the size of Dubuque regarding population, while Dubuque has access to Wisconsin and Illinois right across the border. Coming to Dubuque I knew that I would be exposed to many new things in my life without even moving too far out of my daily activities and hobbies. When I first came to Dubuque I had passed through the area and been around it a bit before because I have family that lives near here, but other than that it was a whole new area to me. Coming on visits here to the college I got to explore a little bit other than just the campus and even got to see the downtown area for a while but it was not until I moved in on August 24th when I really got to dive into this area and all my new surroundings. A favorite hobby of mine is running and I am …show more content…

There were so many trails to pick from, ranging of all different sceneries, lengths, and landscapes. The trail I ended up choosing was about 3.5 miles long and was called the Eagle Scout Trail, which I learned it got its name from the Boy Scout troops that built it when they were earning their Eagle Scout awards. This trail began on an intersection on another trail called the Cedar Ridge Trail and then winds down hills connecting with the Cattesse trail which takes you all the way to the south end of the

For me, the South was so different from the laid-back pace of Honolulu but, in some ways, they had a lot in common. Savannah, GA has beaches and islands scattered near it 's coastline. Hawaii and Georgia each are obsessed with their regional fruits. Both places are filled with military servicemen and their families. Needless to say, I don 't feel like I truly have a "hometown" but, instead, I can make any town my home.

My hometown is Chicago, and I believe that Laramie has more differences than similarities. For example, in Laramie they just acted as if they LGBT community did not exist, however, in Chicago, we have a gay pride parade each year to celebrate this community and their attributes to Chicago. Furthermore, in Laramie, they didn’t see Matthew Shepherd dead as a hate crime, but in Chicago, we take this type of crime very seriously because Chicago is a very diverse city and people need to be able to feel safe. Also, in Laramie, when the advocacy for gay and lesbian was started they were seen as different and people didn’t understand why they were making a big deal about the crime. But, in Chicago, there are many advocacies for LGBT community and people

I did not know anyone in Spokane, so I attend most of the school events to make friends and develop networks. It was the most challenging experience as I was stepping out of my comfort zone. I did not regret moving to Spokane because I learn how to be involved in a different community, not only the Korean community. I am thankful for my friends and people who volunteer to be my patient when I was in the dental hygiene program. Likewise, I learn how to give and share time and talent with people from people I met in

I was born and raised in the city of Chicago, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. Everyone from my father to my mother’s side of the family lives here, so if I suddenly leave to live in a different city, I would lose a big part of where I came from. Family is very important to me since I know I’ll always have some to look after me that is why when I think of Chicago, I think of all my family members here. Another unique thing about Chicago is how it’s always busy. Wherever you are, they are people running around trying to get to work, partying from night till the sun comes out, or protesting about something wrong with the government.

Within this work, the son expresses his views toward death in negative manner believing that, as stated on the second line of the first stanza, "Old age should burn and rave at close of day". In an attempt to prove to his father that he shouldn't give up on living, the son goes on to classify men into four different categories - all of which show that despite the fact that they will all eventually share the same end, each of these groups still fight for life. The categorization of these classes of men are further proof from the son that no matter the life choices, consequences, or personalities, there is always a reason to continue living.
