I live in the town of Glencoe. We have about 2400 people who live in this town. We are a rural community, with a lot of farm land. In our community we really only have white people, there are only a couple of people that are a different race. The majority of our population is older people, and there is a good male to female ratio. I think that over the years our community has stayed the same I haven't lived here for my whole life like the majority of our town but I have for long enough to know what it is like. I really like the town of Glencoe, I feel as though to many people are moving away from this town and into the bigger cities. Although the high school doesn't have many unique classes we can take like the bigger schools, we all love it. The fact that they are trying to close Glencoe is because of urbanization. They want us to go to bigger schools, and soon enough there wont be a high school here if they get what they want. I think that this could cause a big problem for the town of Glencoe, once you lose the high school there really wont be much left that is keeping people here. I really like this town and don't want to see that happen, I want to raise my family here when I am older and finished school. Over all I think the rural community is the best and I don't want that to change.

I definitely understand what you mean. I also agree that it is not necessarily the generation that you are born into that matters but the one that you grow up in. We were born in the last years on the Generation Y and we really have no memories of any of its events and fashions.
ReplyDeleteMy father was also born in the last two years of the baby boom. Even though he is technically part of that generation, he recalls his childhood films and television shows as Saturday Night Fever and Happy Days. All his memories of movies and shows are from the seventies, which is part of Generation X. We cannot relate to people who were born without television and computers. It is unrealistic. However, I still think we were categorized into a more suitable generation because I do not believe that we possessed all the abilities of the children of Generation Z. They all are technologically acute at a very young age, which is sometimes a marvel to me.
