Usually I try and sit back and not talk much, because it's way to early, but Phillip was a talker. He started asking me about, how my night had been and what I did, and where I was going, so I decided to send some questions back his way. Phillip had moved from Oregon to be with his girlfriend, but she had broken up with him, so he wasn't a big fan of the city.

This wasn't the response I was expecting from someone, who had greeted my so bubbly. I continued to press him, why he remained in the bay if people were cold he said, "Oregon doesn't offer as many opportunities." Often when I talk to people about, why they came to San Francisco, they mention the opportunities and the chance to excel in their career.

    Traverse City Michigan is a small town in Northern Michigan, with a port, an airport, a rail system running through it, and lots of roads. While there is most likely the most freight carried through trucking on the roads, I would like to talk about the shipping industry. Because Traverse City is located with access to the Lake Michigan there is obviously a great deal of materials shipped over the water. Water is the cheapest, besides pipeline, of the 5 major transportation modes; if a city is located on the water it makes sense to take advantage of it. According to the Michigan Department of Transportation in 2009 the port of Traverse City transported somewhere between 100,000 and 900,000 tons of freight.

    Chicago is known throughout the United States as having one of the worst public school systems in the country. Although I attend a private school, each day that I sit in my English class, I have a clear view through the windows of the public school across the street, where other students my age who are equally as talented and intelligent as I am are in overcrowded classrooms without the resources and opportunities that I have. At Ignatius, I have had the chance to travel around the world and join exciting clubs. I have also been able to work with teachers who have the time to meet with me individually and be in an environment where everyone is genuinely excited to learn. Ignatius is surrounded by public housing buildings and run down schools and when I look through the window at the other school, it reminds me that others are not as lucky as I am.
