In Class Writing

The only place that I have visited recently was my friend's hometown of Kouts. It is a tiny place with only one stop light and a Burger King. There literally was nothing but open land and houses. I grew up in a nice sized town, so there was a pretty big difference. The closest place to entertainment for them is the city of Valparaiso. Literally, everyone in her neighborhood was friends. It was just like you would see on TV. All the mothers would talk on the phone and walk over to each others houses and gossip about everything that had been going on. I got the sense that everyone knew everything about everyone. The high school my friend went to was K-12, so they only had about 40 students in there graduating class. As I proceeded to meet her friends, it was almost like I wasn't welcomed because they had been friends forever. In comparison to my high school, I don't even talk to most of the people I was friends with, but they are still best friends and still want to be in high school. It was just weird to see how coming from a college town to a small town how drastic of a change there is.
