I am Evyn Yamaguchi, I was born and raised on the island of Hawai’i in a small town called Honaunau. I came to Mayville State University as a transfer from Ventura College to play Baseball and further my education. This University is a special place to me because of the small town living, the way people are, and the seasonal changes. In similarity to Mayville I know what it feels like to live in a small town, so I adjusted to Mayville fairly easy. The environment at Mayville is very safe and friendly. I meet many people here that took me under their wing without me even asking. For the reason that Hawai’i is an expensive plane ride home, on most holidays I stay in Mayville. This is where those people would step in, and take me into their homes.

The dramatically successful revitalization project plus the town's location in the San Francisco Bay Area -- and the existence of the Amtrak station right here in Suisun City -- makes this a surprisingly sophisticated, forward-looking place to live. It does not have the usual small town vibe. Instead, it combines many of the best features of being in a small town with some of the most desirable aspects that many people find alluring in a more urban environment.
The concept of a white woman being touched, let alone raped by an African American male was an assumption in the little town of Maycomb Alabama, 1930’s. During this period Mayella is considered helpless due to being a female as well as lonely and afraid considering her status as a poor white piece of trash.

I quickly realized I was one of the smartest students in my class. Due to poor infrastructure, the education was lacking in Hawaii. Instead of feeling like I was falling behind, like in Maryland, I felt like I was surpassing the norms of Hawaii 's education standards.

On the good side, this town was wide open. There was lots of space and the natural scenery was just beautiful. Because it was not so crowded, and traffic was not a problem, there was not much pollution either. I like this because it was easier to keep healthy.
There are numerous differences between living in a small town or a big city. Small towns and big cities each have their unique advantages and disadvantages. Where a person grows up plays an integral part in shaping their personality. And, sometimes a person’s personality can have a great impact on their preference of where to live. Preferring a small town or big city is a very individual matter. Different people have different reasons for favoring one over the other. Personally, and admitting that my views are shaped by my personal experiences, I believe the advantages of growing up in a small town – as long as that small town is in reasonably close proximity to a decent sized city.
