Growing up as a city kid is a joyous time!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Life seemed so simple and joyous when I was growing up.
When I was at university, there was such a strong delineation between city kids and those who had grown up the suburbs. City kids were so at home in the world, in a way that suburban kids take years to catch up, if indeed they ever can.
City Year resonated with me because when I grew up, we were poor - and an education is a way out of poverty. It's a way out of the current situation that can seem isolating and hopeless for some kids.
I was a happy kid up until I hit the teen years.
I'm all about small towns. I think it's a great place to grow up.
I'm so glad cities have personalities, just like people have personalities. That's something that makes me smile.
I think it's great to grow up in a small town because you're just dying to break loose.
Being a kid and growing up is such a cool part of life.
One of the reasons I get so much joy out of my own children's childhoods is that I'm having my first childhood myself.
The main thing I got from growing up in a suburb is the boredom you have as a child.
