about making money and spending it on products. However‚ consuming should not be the main goal of life. Malls restrain the way people think‚ so kids today are not able to have critical thinking about their lives. For example‚ my cousin‚ Joyce‚ grew up in California. When she was little‚ my aunt‚ Joyce’s mom‚ would usually drop her in the mall due to her work. Because my aunt was unable to take care of my cousin‚ she let my cousin spend her own time in the mall sometimes after school. Everytime‚ before

I grew up in Brownsville‚ Texas in a working class family. I learned from my parents and the stories that they told me. The community that I grew up in was comforting and supportive no matter what. And the neighborhood that I lived in was a great place to grow up in because of a friend‚ and a supportive family to be there when it went downhill. My mom was a migrant worker; she would work with all of her family until she got a degree and started to teach at an elementary school where she continues

member of a multi-ethnic family myself‚ I completely agree that growing up in two cultures can be a mind opening privilege. However‚ that’s not how it always feels. There are days when my access to Spanish‚ Dominican cuisine‚ and Dominican culture allows me to explore another dimension of the world around me‚ but it can also close the world a little. It’s almost like trying to sit on two chairs at the same time (which‚ if you grew up in the Dominican Republic you’d have some experience with in public

The experience of growing up in Chicago is polarizing. It’s one of the most diverse cities in the country‚ yet‚ one of the most segregated. I am grateful for living in a neighborhood that had every range of diversity in terms of racial background‚ ethnic background‚ gender‚ age‚ and socioeconomic status. The most obvious characteristic in which Chicago neighborhoods are divided are by race and socioeconomic status. As I grew up I was constantly surrounded by people who looked different from me‚ spoke

Life Lessons from a Small Town Growing up in a small town is an excellent way to learn strong values. It was serendipitous that I was able to grow up in a subtle farming community where I graduated high school with the same group of children that attended my kindergarten class. Everyone knows everybody in a small town which has a few benefits. It means you can have a tab at the local convenience store and pay when you receive your paycheck and on any given day‚ you can walk down into the post

Growing up in a big city and in a small town or village are different‚ both bring their own advantages and disadvantages. It is difficult to say whether growing up in a big city has more advantages than growing up in a small town or village or vise versa. The first aspect that i am going to discuss is the difference in terms of population. The population in a big city is bigger and more diversity than in a small city or village. Children in a big city have more opportunities to interact with different
