One thing that I love about going to the neighborhood school, in the slice of surburbia that I live in, is the real sense of community. Walking down the hallways (trying not to be late for forth period) you hear things like how nice the pizza guys at the local hotspot, Renatos.
Or it's sheer coincidence that your classmate's older brother bags your groceries at the
local grocery store. But thats what makes living in small town surburbia so nice. I used to go to a small wonderful private school, but now I really do feel connected to the world. The world is really
small when you look at it closely.
Your relationships with people define your life. Its just a wonderful life in small town America...

I live in a small suburban town as well, but unfortunately it has no such strong community. Instead of mom and pop restaurants we have corporate chains. Instead of talking about local pizza guys, students talk about whatever meaningless celebrity gossip has been pervading television and magazines lately.
Traditional small town America is dying. Be glad you live where you do.
Anyway, this is a very well written blog, especially for an eighth grade student. Keep up the good work!
Was your private school in Canada? If so, it couldn't be connected to the community since(no offence to Canadians) it is not the same as living in any US suburban town. It's just not the same.
