Hello,
  I am Quintarius Jackson, a 20 year old college student attending The University of North Carolina School of the Arts for drama. I am originally from a place called Piedmont, South Carolina, and the closest experience I had of a city was downtown Greenville, South Carolina. I mean coming from the boondocks, and to see more than one tall building and sidewalks was pretty cool. Especially when I had a dream to leave and go to the city. For me, the city symbolizes ''the place where dreams come true''. Of course as an artist, the city seems like the place to go, or the place that I will have to go. The city is the place where things happen. Nothing at all seems to happen in Piedmont, SC.

This is what comes to mind when I think of the city. Of course I cannot help but think of New York City. I have actually been to New York City; and I remember feeling like I was in a snow globe, or a bubble. The city felt so big, and I felt so small. It was a unique experience. The only other city I have been to was Chicago. That was great; it was also very cold. But I had a blast. Thank you.
