After growing up in Penn Yan for all eighteen years of my primary education, I had found myself in a mode of resentment towards the small-town life and community that became my norm. I decided to go across the country for school to escape what I thought was a narrow and lacking lifestyle, but since being away I have fallen in love with my home all over again. Being able to experience only the summer and early fall here has absolutely changed my perspective, and my home has once again become a place of solace for me.
