After reading a myriad of things people online had to say about where I grew up- drug problem, joblessness, bitter people... I was so disheartened. That was when I decided that NOW was the time to step up and do my civic duty and let people know that this CAN be a great place to raise your family.
So in response to all the evil naysayers- this is what I said:
On the other hand...I grew up there too. I don't have a meth problem, I do have a successful career, and it created enough humbleness in my heart to remind me that where you come from doesn't define you as much as where you end up.
Of course I do drink alot to deal with stress, have promiscuous sex- due to early childhood sex abuse by a friendly man in that town, and self esteem issues that will plague me forever because of all the bullying and rumors I had to deal with while going to school there.
Other than that... I'm 100% fine.
Good luck!
What do you think? It made you want to move there, didn't it?
