A Trip To Bridgeport Essay

400 Words2 Pages

Although I have only lived in Bridgeport for less than a year, I have visited my grandparents’ house here every summer since I was in the 3rd grade. During my trips, I became very familiar with the community, the people, and the surrounding cities. I enjoyed visiting Bridgeport to not only see my grandparents but also see my aunts, uncles, and cousins.

In the beginning, I didn’t think very highly of Bridgeport. I thought of it as a no name, small town, and I didn’t think anyone knew where it was. My perspective quickly changed when I started to become attached to the city. I became fond of our neighbors and the people we knew around town. I appreciate how close everyone is and how everyone is very considerate of those around them. I didn’t …show more content…

I think it is so interesting how so many students have known each other since they were practically babies; that type of thing just doesn’t happen in San Antonio. I admire how everybody is so close to each other and even the surrounding cities such as Decatur and Denton. I also appreciate how education-oriented the city of Bridgeport is. Everyone is always willing to help out the students in anything they need.

Despite all of the great qualities that Bridgeport offers, there are a few aspects that I believe need improvement. One of those aspects includes the communication between everyone in town. From an outside perspective, you wouldn’t think that communication within such a small town would be a problem, but it is. No one really knows when anything is going on because no one thinks about spreading the word to anyone else.

I believe that good communication is a key aspect of every relationship, professional or personal. But despite this hurdle, I’m glad I’ve been able to call Bridgeport my home. Even though I don’t plan on living here my entire life, I will never forget about the wonderful moments I have experienced here, and I will forevermore admire the unity and integrity the city reflects. The city of Bridgeport, and its people, will be a distinct memory that I will always

    I grew up in Wellston, Ohio and lived in the countryside about fifteen minutes from town. My house was a home to me and it wasn 't the greatest, but it was special to me. My big backyard consisted of many fruit trees and a grape vine, it was where I had bonfires with my family and friends, and it was where I ran free with my brother. I had a pond, “over the hill” as my brother and I would say, where we swam and fished in the summertime and sat on the deck feeding bread to the bluegill as we had conversations about life. Behind our pond was where thousands of trees stood tall and where we roamed every inch of the hidden land.

  • Reflective Essay On Alice Lloyd

    683 Words  | 3 Pages

    “All adventures, especially into new territory, are scary.” is a quote that can be used to accurately describe my experience at Alice Lloyd Hall, because it was something that was new, yet frightening in the same instance. However, my overall experience at Alice Lloyd has been truly a positive one, due to the fact that I have had the chance to create new relationships, gain knowledge, and allow myself to grow as a person. Back in the beginning of my freshman year, I lived in Baits 2 housing along with three random roommates. In my opinion, due to the separated housing style of Baits, it felt impersonal and isolated; unlike Alice Lloyd, where the main aspect I love is the fact that the dorm has a social atmosphere instead.
