Personal Narrative: Growing Up In New Jersey

237 Words1 Page

Growing up in New Jersey is not what it is stereotyped to be. When I tell people I'm from New Jersey, they think of filth and the all-too-famous MTV hit, Jersey Shore. The misconception of atmosphere of where I'm from is absurd. Where I'm from is the heart of New Jersey's beauty, Shamong, New Jersey. I grew up practically in the middle of the woods. I lived between a horse farm and the entrance to Wharton State Forest. The entire atmosphere - from the sight of the sun rising over the trees every morning to it setting over the lake every night - was beautiful. Summers were particularly a blast. Whether a day was spent riding horses through the trails of the forest or cooling off in one of the lakes, there was never a dull moment.
