Background Information

This blog is an assignment for my Composition 112 class. We were instructed to start blogs on something we're interested in. I find myself heavily interested in politics, but since I'm dedicating a few years of education to that later on, I find that another interest of mine will be best suited for this.

I chose something about living in urban areas. I find that, since I've lived in a rural area for the majority of my life, I can safely say that urban areas pose more opportunities. For instance, I attended Maryville High School (~450 students). The music program was severely underfunded, as well as the science department. I hear about schools in suburban Kansas City, and sometimes inner-city schools, that have huge auditoriums for their multiple school plays and musicals per year. Maryville has one play per year, and one musical every other year.

With time, I will find more information regarding this topic. But I would also like to discuss in the duration of the semester a few choice cities with top-notch public services. Every week, I'll pick one or two cities and post information on them.

I'm glad I have this all planned out...
