The Coastal War
My family is from all over. We are basically from every European country with no real ties to any of them. We love to celebrate St. Patricks Day but just to have a good meal and party, but there is no real meaning behind it.
I think more than just my heritage, where I have lived describes me the most. I have lived on the East Coast/ South, LA area and orange County. The only place in the United States that I have not lived is the middle of the country, which personally, I am okay with. After living all over the place I can officially say  "WEST COAST IS BEST COAST".

I think that each of the places I have lived has showed me different lifestyles and people allowing me to see more of the world and develop more as a individual. Living in Virginia we were still considered an East Coast State and I had some very preppy friends who were always at the country club. But it was also southern enough that at my brothers school, the boys were divided into two teams for sports and pep rallies. The teams were called "Lee's" and "Jackson's" after two famous Civil War generals. In LA I was exposed to diversity, California wilderness, and the LA/ Hollywood scene. In the OC I have been exposed to the super rich, the over sheltered, and the surfer dude.
Every place that I have lived, I think is very beautify and I am very fortunate to be living there but LA has resonated the most with who I am and who I think I want to be. Which is why I was very happy that since my dad's new job was going to take us out of Newport and Sage, that it was back to LA.
