April Sanchez's Map
My neighborhood isn't the best one out there. I remember when I was young I used to love that place. I grew up with so many of my friends that ended up being cholos or ended up in jail.
Now that I'm 17, I've come to realize that I don't see this place as "home". I definitely don't like being around there, I hate that it is infested with cholos and other bad people. But I can't do anything about it. It is what it is.
Although some cool places about this neighborhood are the fast food places it has. There's a Subway a couple of houses away from my house! Taco bell and Jack-In-The-Box are near as well. There's a skating park a few blocks down my house as well. Hopefully some day I can make that neighborhood a better place to live in!(:
