Rooted Routes

Write about the city or town you grew up in, the memories you made, and how it shaped you.

Our home towns or cities become an integral part of our identity by providing us our earliest experiences and sense of community. In this prompt, the focus is on remembering the place you spent your formative years and detailing its major landmarks, the neighborhood, the climate, and the people. You can delve into how your surroundings influenced your personal growth and the traditions that root you to this place.
