My Family's Neighborhood

Every human being has a place where they reside. People may choose a place of
residence for various reasons. A persons place of employment, where they attend
school, where they were raised, or feel most at home may be reasons why they choose
a specific place of residence. I myself choose to reside in the northwest part of
San Antonio. I live in a fairly decent two bedroom apartment with my two little
children. My oldest is named Anthony, he is 7 years old. Damion is my little one, he
is 2 1/2. We live on Marbach Road, the nearest cross street, which is less than 1
block away, is West Military Drive.

My neighborhood is a rather nice and decent area to live in. The
people who reside in my neighborhood are of various ethnic backgrounds, but the
majority is made up of Hispanics or are of mexican descendents. I suppose that it is fair to say that the neighborhood is for the most part, a middle working class
neighborhood. Although I don't know for a fact, but most people in the area seem to
work and contribute to the economies finances.

My neighborhood is convenient to a variety of places. My children and I live right across the street from a convenience store, chinese restaurant, Domino's pizza, a daycare, and so many other convenient places.
We are also not very far from John Jay high school. The high school is only about
three blocks away from our apartment. There is also a bus line conveniently located right in front of our apartment complex. When we first moved in I did not have a vehicle for
about 1 year, so we utilized public transportation for quite a while. Living right
in front of a bus line is one of the major reasons that I chose this area as a place
of residence. Most importantly, I decided on this neighborhood because it is
convenient to my son's elementary school. The name of the school is Mary Hull
elementary. It is a great school and is part of a terrific school
district. The elementary school is part of Northside Independent school district.

I am very happy living in my part of San Antonio. I enjoy the various
conveniences so very close to home. Also, I know for a fact that my children are
happy here as well. The sweet smiles and laughter that come from them when they play
outdoors show me that they are happy and content with their environment. My families
social welfare is what is important and as long as we are haappy and content in this
neighborhood we will remain here. After all home is were the heart is, right?
