“What My Community Means to Me”
If you asked me a question such as; “If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?” I would say Castle Hayne. Some people might call me crazy, but I don’t think I could find a better place. Having visited many places in my short sixteen years I can honestly say Castle Hayne is my one and only true home. Castle Hayne is like a small town; greet your neighbor at the mailbox kind of place. I can tell you first hand living in Castle Hayne all my life, that when I go to the grocery store ninety-five percent of the people I see there I know by name. I run into old friends at the gas station, the river, CVS, etc. all the time. Sometimes running into people unexpectedly isn’t all it’s cut out to be; when you have no make up on or your hair is messy, but it’s the conversation you’re most likely to have when you do run into someone that makes living in Castle Hayne so great. There is no big city that could give me that homely, comfortable feeling. The Castle Hayne community to me is home. Born and raised in Castle Hayne. Call me Dorothy, but there’s no place like home.
I was wondering if you had any input on this i feel like it's missing something important. I'm not quite sure what it is.
I like where you are going, but I do think it doesn't say enough. First, you mean homey, not homely. Second, keep the stuff about meeting people everywhere you go that you know, but take out the tangent about your hair looking messy (it's not important). Do you do anything for Castle Hayne (volunteer, etc.) what do you do IN CH that makes you love it?
