Thanksgiving

I'm excited about goin home for Thanksgiving break. I didn't think it was going to happen but things are starting to look good for me. I miss my mom and my friends. I just wanted spend a couple a days with them then come back and get my year here at Wartburg college as a freshman over with. I can definitely say that I'm looking foward to the rest of my freshman year. I might be going to a different school next year but I have to see how my year here at Wartburg turns out to be like. So far it's not going too good. I don't like it here and I just want to go home. It's different here and I'm just not ready to change yet. I like my big city and the big population, but what i wish I could change is the crime. There is so much crime going on in chicago it was nice to get a way from it all for a while. Waverly is quiet. All I hear here is nature. All I hear in chicago are sirens. It's scary and sometimes I find myself praying that its not my brother or one of my cousins or even one of my uncles. It's not right that we had to grow up in that kind of environment and raise our kids in that kind of environment. I made it out, but there are maany who will never make it out, and that's the sad part. Nobody cares about what's going on in the hood, but the do everything they could to make me feel bad or responsible for everything that's going on in the hood. When I said me I referring to everyone who lives or who has lived in the hood.
