There are many great things about my state, Alabama. Today, I will name my 3 favorite things I love about my home. My first favorite thing about the state of Alabama would be our coastal shores of Mobile. I love the warm sand against my feet as the breeze waves through my hair. I love the sound of children screaming and laughing as they play, the seagulls flapping and screeching, and the waves crashing against the shore. I love waking up early to the gorgeous sun rise, the golden rays reflecting off the water. I love the feel of my line in the water, the slight tug at my line as i get a bite. I love the fight of the fish as I struggle to reel it in. I love the feel of the scaly, slimy fish. Even if i lose the fish, I love that it is the one that got away and the thought that I may get it again. …show more content…

I love the feel of the soft, green grass against my bare feet. I love smelling the the grill as food cooks for our afternoon family dinner. I love as we sit around the long, white table as we surround it in our chairs of all shape and size. I love as we bow our heads thanking God for our time together. I love the taste of the warm food and the golden color of the sweet tea. I love as our family tells stories as if they were yesterday despite being ages ago. I love hearing my family laugh and and playing games together. I love the smell of the smoke as we roast s'mores on 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.

I was never interested in tractors until I went to Louisiana last summer. Going to Louisiana was one of the best things that has ever happened to me during my life. Going to Louisiana was so awesome being able to watch and drive enormous diesel tractors and watch my uncle cut rice with a combine(which is a machine that is used to cut rice on a farm. It helped me learn about rice and the machines that farmers use to cut rice. I got to see where the rice is stored after it is cut, my uncle dries out the rice to get all the moisture out before they sell it and take the rice out of the rice bins.

O-Oklahoma Oklahoma is the place I was born yet the only time I was ever there was maybe the first two to three months of my life I don’t remember obviously. I’ve always wondered what it’s like there. One day I hope to go there because I fell in love with a lot of their sports teams and I want to meet my biological brother. My favorite sports teams in Oklahoma are the Oklahoma City Thunder of the NBA, and the colleges of Oklahoma State (The Cowboys), Oklahoma (The Sooners), and Tulsa (The Golden Hurricanes). I started paying attention to the NBA when my brother Scott bought NBA 2k11 I played with every team and found myself playing with the Thunder the most, because I loved playing with Kevin Durant and Russel Westbrook.

Growing up in southwest Atlanta, Georgia, I have been surrounded by ‘black success’ instead of just ‘success’ for the duration of my life. The blacks in my area are equally as successful, if not more accomplished than, the non-blacks, but we are always titled separately and put into a captive box. The box we are held in told young girls that they should aspire to be athletes, cosmetologists, or plain unemployed. The same box told young men that they could only be considered “somebody” if they were able to catch a ball well. These are occupations we would ‘best be suited for’; these are occupations that perpetuate the box.

I have lived in Michigan for my whole life.   The state of Michigan itself is a very unique place, but even more unique is the upper peninsula of Michigan.   The UP is barely more than three percent of the population of Michigan.   We 're known as Yoopers, many people think of us as rednecks that sit around and hunt all day.   Though the opening days of hunting season means most of the teachers are gone for hunting, there is a lot more to the UP than hunting.

My Nashville, the not so famous one, rests in South Georgia, which if you are unaware is its own separate part of America. When I think of Georgia, Atlanta comes to mind. When I think of South Georgia, the home of the Confederacy comes to mind. Disregard negative connotation that the word confederacy (the slave part) has because of the sociopolitical system

I live in a minuscule town in Western North Carolina, where southern traditions are very important to the majority of the population. Such as drinking sweet tea, eating biscuits and gravy, and going to church. Here within one of those important traditions lies why I had to take such a significant risk. At the beginning of my eighth grade year of middle school, only a mere thirteen years of age, I knew I was different. However, what made me different would surely turn many against me.

My home state is Texas, and a problem Texas faces is an overall mindset of systemic racism, sexism, and xenophobia. Texas is a very conservative state, thus many of the policies passed by our legislation are written at the expense of women and minorities. Although I might sound highly critical of our state government, I do not believe that these negative mindsets are deliberate attempts to put others down, I feel that it is simply an ignorance to the issues women and minorities face, and a lack of empathy. Ignorance is easily countered by thorough education. The easiest way to solve this is for us constituents of these politicians, to bring the issues that affect us to the forefront.

Kansas was a dull and dreary place. The farm I lived on was a dusty and flat piece of land. I could see the land touch the sky in all directions. There wasn’t one tree on the property. The sun could become extremely hot at times especially with my fur coat.

My dog whining loudly over the voice of my mom. The house and my fluffy pajamas were so warm and odorless. It was a cold icy night and I was playing on a horse statue. The aroma of the pine trees and the damp air was wonderful. It was so peaceful until a bunch of cars made a lot of racket.
