Why Go

Why Go

As I glance down at the ground, I notice a thick multi colored layer of leaves coating the cold hard ground. I think to myself. “Why ever leave this amazing place in which I consider home. What is better than Vermont?” As I look over at the mighty mountains coated in brown, yellow, and orange leaves, I realize how soothing and relaxing the mountains really are. Even in ten years, I would not move from the comforting and relaxing state of Vermont. There are so many things that keep me here. From the great views to the wonderful and exiting seasons to the soothing and relaxing sports we are able to do.

Vermont Through My Eyes

Vermont is a very special place to me and it always will be. Even though it is so small that it is unknown to some people, Vermont will probably end up being my favorite place in the world. Living in Vermont has affected me positively, and made me a totally different person than if I grew up in a city. I love Vermont and I always will.

Growing up in Vermont has affected my outlook on the world in many ways. One way is that I am used to small places. I will always be a small town girl at heart no matter where I end up in the future. In a small town, everyone knows each other, and that makes the town a more pleasant place to live. You always get a lot of smiles and waves when you walk down the street because everyone knows you. I would most likely stand out in a city because I don’t like the noise or the crowded streets. Vermont is the exact opposite of that, so it is the perfect place for me.
