The neighborhood I grow up in.
Despite
where I grow up at I am proud to be who I am and what I am becoming form
growing up in the CREST. If you know about VALLEJO you know that the crest
is the roughest neighborhood in VALLEJO but one of the most commutative
neighborhood. But just because my neighborhood was rough does not mean that
everyone in it is not how they portray us to be. Growing up in the CREST made
me who I am today but it also showed me many different things I didn't want to
become and show me there is better things out there then just what you see. If I
grow up elsewhere I probable am a whole different person but, will that be a
good thing or a bad thing? I would not want to grow up in any other place
then I did because even though it’s very hard for people out there it also
teaches you allot of different things that you probably wouldn't learn anywhere
else. Growing up in the CREST you learn to take the bad and turn it into
something good and learn from them and grow to ether overcome them or set yourself
back.
I am who I am despite the neighborhood I live(d) in.
I am who I am because of the hood
I lived in and the people who live around me. The neighborhood I live in was a
very rough neighborhood because of all the crime that went on around us. Yet
because of my neighborhood I am the kind of person that I am today I can speak
up for myself and not have someone speak for me. I know how fiend for myself
and don't take any BS from anyone no matter who they are because wrong is wrong
no matter how you look at it. The good side of growing up in this neighborhood
thought me allots of good things out of all the bad things that came along but
you have to try and see the positive side of it and run with it. I learned how
to take my time with things and a lot of different things.
