You know what I miss most? I miss the freedom and spirit that Jackson offered. The mountains were tall and beautiful, I felt protected as they surrounded the town. Bald eagles soared above, while the deers and moose roamed in our backyards. The people of Jackson were close and happy. There was a sense of togetherness and comfort. As a kid, I never thought there could be anything better than this small town.. and there isn’t. A home town is what create who you are, and Jackson has made me the person I am today. I have become adventurous, loving, and independent. Seeing the bald eagles in the sky or the foxes that were seen at dawn, I believed that I could be a free spirit like those animals. And the people of Jackson showed me that there are good people in this crazy world, you just have to see it.

Jackson is my hometown, it lives in my heart.
