We still live in the same house my grandmother lived in when she was a child. ‘When she was a child, there were open fields, That was 50 years ago. Then more people moved here. It still was a good place to live. There was a good school, and people thought the neighborhood looked pretty. There were many trees and people had big yards. After many people moved to this community, it got crowded, They built big apartment buildings. They built homes where there had been open lots. By ten years ago, there was no more open land. Being crowded is not such a bad change. People opened stores in the neighborhood, making it more convenient to shop. My grandmother says that when she was young she had to walk for locks to get to a store, Now there is a store down the street that opened because store owners ‘know that there are many customers in our community. ‘More changes keep happening. My grandmother used to have to walk very far to get to school. Thirty years ago, they built a school right across the street from our house. So her child, my mother, could go to school in a minute, She just opened the front door and crossed the street and she was there. More people moved into the community. The school got overcrowded. So the school district built another building, Hundreds of children go to the school every day. Iam one of them. Five years ago, when I was in 1* grade, there was no place to play. We had a playground but it was not good. So after school I would go home and play on my block. But there wasn’t much to do, it was hard to play there, and my mother worried. That year they started to change the school. They tore up the concrete outside the school. ‘They planted grass and trees. It took a long time, and there was a lot of dirt and construction noise. My mother kept vacuuming every day. She said it was dust from the construction. Finally, they finished, Now there is « park right across the street from my home. I’m there every day after school. My mother can see that Iam safe. She just looks out the window.
