WHAT I CALL HOME

I was born and raise here in Chicago. I feel that I can not live in any other city. I feel that way because i will always be a Chicagoian at heart. My family lives here as well as all of my friends. My life to me would be different because i could never say that I'm a city kid from the South Austin Area. It has been great to grow up here because i have been around many different culture and types of people. I have learned to love people for who they are and where they come from.

The things that I appreciate Chicago for its sight seeing. Chicago has many things that you can do. Chicago is a place to party and a place to have fun while with family as well as friends. My home city is very diverse but it is also very segragated. I say this because there are neighborhoods full of whites, blacks, and hispanics. There are certain parts of the city that certain nationalities live in.

There are things that i do hate bt right now i am unable to think of any of them. My city is a city that welcomes everybody. It is a place that almost any new comer can call home.

Dede - thanks for your thoughts. I agree that multi-culturalism is one of the best parts of Chicago.

I have two things I want you to work on. One of them is small, and one of them is really important.

#1. This is the small one, and a lot of the others made this mistake. I think it is an e-mail habit. Look back at your post and count the times that you used "I". Do you notice anything? "I" should ALWAYS be CAPITALIZED.

#2. This is more important. While your post was ALMOST completely free of sentence fragments or run-ons, I caught one in the last sentence.

Look at this:

"My city is a city that welcomes everybody its a place that almost any new comer can call home."

Is this one sentences or two? How can you insert punctuation to make it correct.

Make sure you fix these to things!
