made me
My name is bob riley, my hometown is Johnsonville, South Carolina. Johnsonville is a very small town and not much people live there. My Great grandmother who is alive today is from Johnsonville and she has lived there her whole life. Both of my parents grew up in this small town and attended Johnsonville High School.
Being that Johnsonville is small I feel there is least expected of people. Most people at the end of high school went and work with their parents or got a job at a plant factory . You had some who went to college or moved out of town, but most went into the workforce. My hometown has impacted me a lot. It has made me want to do better than just go straight into the workforce. I plan to go to college to become a pediatric dentist. My hometown as help me want to strive for excellence. I have a very strong determined drive to make something of myself, I will not settle for less. I am always on the A/B honor roll because I know its important that I keep my grades up. I am also in clubs and organizations at my school such as the Beta Club. I always give my all and my best at anything I do, because I feel that you are cheating yourself if you are not. Johnsonville, SC has taught me how to make good choices in my life. With guidance from my family and friends the choices I have made has benefited me for the better. My hometown has also shape me to be respectful to others. I am glad that I have support from my family and friends. There are a lot of older people in the town and you have to say no sir and yes sir. The people in Johnsonville taught me how to use a form of respect towards others.
My town may not big the biggest but it has shaped me into the guy that I am currently am today. Its made me realize things that other people never get to witness. Your town and where you are from does not always play a part in shaping you . It is about you as an individual to be determined to make something of yourself. I believe that my hometown has made me a

    It's hard to not know anything about me because I'm pretty much an open book. But if I had to think of something that most people wouldn't know about me it would be that I was born and raised in Hilo. All my life I lived in Hilo up until my freshman year when I moved to Kona. Right now I'm currently a senior attending Konawaena High School. With that being said, I lived on the Kona side for about 4 years now. The main reason for me moving to this side was because both my parents have jobs out here. My dad, being a manager had already been working out on this side as well as on the Hilo side. My mom on the other hand, got a job promotion that had to be taken in Kona.…

    I was raised in the small town of Hidalgo, Texas, just on the side of the Mexican Border. Living there made me grow up thinking that possibilities were limited and there was not much offered to us. Although, along the years, I realized that this town did not define me , and it actually made me strong enough to take on life elsewhere in the future . I remember being in this town ten years ago, and there was only local businesses . The town has grown along with me, and it has opened up opportunities to its community and myself.…

    There are copious elements that without a doubt have had a profound impact on myself, specifically being born in California. Numerous factors have a paramount influence on who you are, and for myself, the place I was born adequately peaks the list. Indeed, I can claim that being born in California exposes people to a vast number of cultures. Also, there is a certain slower pace of life. Additionally, the scenery, as well as weather, is extremely beautiful. California’s diverse population, laid back lifestyle, scenery and weather have all played a piece in shaping the person I am…

    In my lifetime I lived in to two areas which made a major impact on me. First I lived in Erie at the Franklin Terrace then I moved to girard in about second grade. This town girard is smaller than other areas but it is unique in its own way. First it has an area with a grocery store fast food places like dairy queen, when you continue down on Main street on that road there is a basketball court and a few other places like a bar, faulkner's, and a bank. They’re not the best you will see throughout your life but the people that work are kind and you can be very personalized with them because they do not get hundreds of customers a day. You will feel like you belong in a matter of a day visiting places like these. They’re also a great three day festival named Dan Rice Days, I…
