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.

WOOSTER — Dawn Cazzolli’s job is stressful. She is the executive director of the Wayne County Children’s Advocacy Center, which looks into allegations of sexual and severe physical abuse. “It’s stressful and people get burned out, but when you look around the table, there’s people who are just as passionate about child safety and child welfare,” she said. “I think of it as a calling.” To help Cazzolli recharge, she, her husband, Andy, and their children, Greyson, 15, and Sophia, 13, like to go camping, “into nature where birds are singing, where I feel the breeze, to bike, hike and see so many flowers.
We used to be so proud of our town. We kept it clean, our lawns were mowed and we had gardens in the back yards. People did everything together. We had baseball tournaments and we sponsored bingo and Keno at the old hall. That brought the town together.
Furthermore, with living there my whole life, it holds a significant part of my childhood memories. For example, I used to doodle with sidewalk chalk until my hands turned dusty with color, experience the exuberance
The “hood” is often what downtown, Elizabeth NJ is labeled as. Children like me are doubted as many people seem to believe we will just become another statistic. My background has motivated to strive for success, proving those with agnosticism wrong. Seeing bodies strung out on the corner or laying on the sidewalk is a part of my everyday life. I’m not ashamed of where I come from as it has made me who I am today.
One stormy night the Ravenel Family were sitting at the dining table. Kelly, my mom, Jordan my sister, Dave my dad, and me of course. All you could hear the tree 's branches hitting the window, the wind howling to the beat of the rain. There with all that music my parents were whispering very nervously. Then suddenly, the light started flickering, the room darkened nothing was heard but the trees, the wind, and rain.
However, as industrial as downtown Winston-Salem might be, there are some ‘green spaces’ like parks and fields in some places. When looking at Google Earth I typed in my old address because that’s the area in Walkertown I would know the best. Avalee St. (my street) is how I remember it; a long street with a few houses and woods surrounding it. However, the woods were cut short on the West side due to the new neighborhood (Esher Dr.) being built. There are also a lot of new things that were built, like the new Walkertown Middle School.
That part of city basically was on own little city inside of one, it multiple schools, grocery stores, doctor offices etc., basically all of human being necessities in order to survive and live comfortably. It wasn’t till the year of 2005 when everything drastically changed for me. Hurricane Katrina hit and caused my family to have to relocate to Houston, Texas where we spent almost 2 years being classified as a refugee. Hurricane Katrina was a push factor. Being there made me homesick.

We didn 't always live on Crimson drive. Before that we lived on Rodney street. The house on Rodney street was a small, 3 bedroom duplex. The street was like a bookshelf, all houses lined up in a row. When I was younger, I always thought to myself, if my parents wanted two children and a pet, why would they buy a small house?

In 1862 my Antebellum house was built and in 2001 is when we moved in we had a pact that no matter what we do not move out of this house. Let me tell you about my parents my mom is appease kind of person and my dad is a bellicose kind of person. And me and my two brothers act just like them.
