A Kid Chats about Living in Small-town America

Freehold, New Jersey

Story Narrative:

"Living in a small town teaches me that you don't need to be part of a big, well known place to have fun. I mean, I like my town. Freehold is really fun. I mean, like other towns like D.C, New York City getting world-class recon... sorry, rec places, they don't even have camps. I personally think that small towns are even safer too. And you don't need to learn the street gangster stuff. Small towns are safe and that's what it teaches me. That's why when I grow up and get older I'm going to live in a small town too."
