I’m Jojo, A 15 year old freshmen from White River. White River is a small town in the middle of no where. Everyone knows everyone and news always travels fast. It's your average tiny town that only populates 500 people. We have small communities like places that have around 90-100 people to the most in them, it's a rough guess. Yet, still part of White River… There isn’t much to say about White River considering I grew up here. My entire life all I have ever known is White River and how boring it can get. It has its moments, yeah sure I’ll give it that. I mean you can only bring sports and get togethers up in a story so many times. People who visit say nice things about how beautiful it is, and how nice the people are. But I grew up here, I am used to the scenery, to me it is more then often the same. It gets old. The people are nice, I guess I can say we tend to gravitate tward the bright side of the tunnel. Although, again being one who spent virtually my entire life here I am used to it. Say, If you sent a city kid here, they would probably die from the lack of everything. We have what we need and more. But there are no Malls, or Wal-Mart’s. We have one grocery store, two small gas stations, and a coffee shop/convenient store type thing. We don't even have a stop light! If you were to go down Main Street if you blinked you would miss it. We have a motel, but people often do stay there. But I only say a lot of this because if you were to dive through White River, my best guess you wouldn’t exactly pick it to be your first choice. It’s not that bad. I like it, its quiet, not too many people are here. We can go out not having the fear a lot of people in big cities have with crime and the overcrowded streets. We do have our crime and trouble, what town doesn’t? But we are a lot better then most. So with all that, we are pretty ok. It isn't a bad place to grow up. It's actualy a really nice place to grow up. There are so many points I could mention, to many to type. White River is better than most people give it credit for, I guess I'm just on of them.
