neighborhood

Option 2:



I've been in my neighborhood my entire life and i have been in the same house all my life. My parents were originally from mexico but my dad eventually came to the us, my mom came after my dad. Eventually they came to chicago and stayed here since somewhere around the seventies. I've asked my brothers of how this neighborhood was before i was born, they told me alot of bad things that happened here. It's once in a blue moon that you see something like violence happen in my neighborhood.



One time in the fall of 2009, someone was shot at the end of my block. i wasn't scared because i was exposed to violence at a young age. I felt more excited than scared because it was cool that someone was shot at MY block. i know that is a stupid opinion but i think its cool. there are some customs my parents do that they did in mexico such as in chrismas going to church (even though i don't). this neighborhood changed from bad to good in the past 30 years. my family, and myself, have changed in almost every way.
