Honestly, I feel like my neighborhood gets a lot of flak. It’s not a bad neighborhood. My home is close to every place I would want to go, very convenient. My parents think that it’s a dangerous neighborhood, but I haven’t heard of anything happening here. They think of it as a dump or at least my mother does, but I’ve grown to love it. It’s a tight knit Somali community, the people here are kind. They will help you if you need anything. They might ask too many questions, but they will always greet you and make you feel comfortable.
