Living in DC is a great experience for most of the 700,000 plus people that live here. This city has its ups and downs but I still love it. Growing up here has and is forming me to be the person I want to be. DC is not just a place it’s an identity and a lifestyle.
I consider DC home because I was raised here. Most of my family and friends live in my area and we do many fun things. They also make the area feel safe because knowing you have people around that will do anything for you is important. Another important thing is culture, and DC has a lot of it. We have cultural events, music, buildings, and places that make DC a home to many.
I embody DC by enjoying what it has to offer. For example, I like going to local landmarks like museums and parks. I also really enjoy cook outs with my family. The experience of this city becomes part of you and it’s a beautiful thing to see DC keep striving. I’ve been living here all my life and I can say it is great.
