One place I went during vacation was back home to Attleboro. I have lived in the same house since I was born so going back home is always bittersweet. This place is important to me because this is really all I knew for 18 years, this is where I learned who I am, how the world is, and how people act towards each other. I have made so many connections here with teachers, students, and even people from cities nearby. Most of my family lives in the same area, so everything that I know is down there. Although Attleboro isn't the best place to grow up, there are still so many experiences that I cherish from growing up there. One place that is very relevant to me is Capron Park, in the picture to the above. In high school, every day before school and every day after school I would go here, and my friends would always be there too. It was a place where every day we built on our relationships and encouraged each other in school without even realizing in. In the fall, the leaves all turn beautiful colors and its so relaxing taking a walk through. It's a very open space, so people mind their own business and it's usually quiet, unless its spring and summer when children and their families are on the playground. So many people walk through Capron Park Zoo a day, it is definitely a place to go if you are looking to meet more locals, and high school kids. Every time I go home I like to at least pass through to see the scenery and see who is around at the time. Overall, Attleboro is just a city with really nothing to do, so you make the best out of what there is and spend it with people you really know and care about. And that's what Thanksgiving is all about!
