Personal Narrative: I Grew Up Here

95 Words1 Page

I Grew Up Here Through my childhood I’ve lived in many places, most of which have been in Florida but the one place that stood out to me was my house in Washington state, Seattle. All the houses in the neighborhood were two story houses with a brownish-red look to them. There’s a playground with a little single hooped basketball court with benches in-between the playground and the basketball court. Just outside of the neighborhood is this huge fenced in lake which is where my friends and I would get picked up by the bus.

    When I was younger, one of the first things people would ask me when we met was “Where are you from?” In response, I always said, “McKeesport”, but felt contempt every time that word left my mouth because I knew my hometown was a cesspool of poverty and demoralization. Even though I still know McKeesport is a bad place to live, the feeling attached to my response to inquiries about my hometown has changed. Instead of contempt, I feel determined to enact a citywide metamorphosis. Growing up, there were two contrasts in my life.
