I am from a really small town. When I say really I am not joking. We have about 1 000 people living in and around Rivers. My high school ( 7 - 12 ) had 156 bodies in it, so that includes staff! My graduating class had 27. I loved living in Rivers my whole life, but since coming here to Prov I have really began to understand what my parents meant when they said that there is a life outside of Rivers and you can always come home, but you need to leave for a while. Now, I understand that Prov isn't the biggest schools to go to of them all, but it is still a totally different experience than what I am used too!
In my school there wasn't a lot of diversity and so it was really hard to be different or like different things than what was 'cool'. One of my favorite things so far about getting away from Rivers and coming to Prov is that there are so many different groups and people that you can be friends with and different things that you can get involved in which I think is really cool and good for you.
So far everyone here is really nice and I have already made some great friends that I would never have got to meet if I stayed around my hometown, like my parents said; you can always come home: I will always have the people who were there for me through everything but like they also said; you need to leave: which so far I am happy I have for all the great opportunities I have had so far, and it's only October:)
