#1 North-shore: From big to small, changes in cities.

19 years old and I've had the privilege to live two different towns. Montreal, the big city, and to live in Sept-Iles a small town.

Montreal people, there are so many was to describe them, i am a Montreal person i was born there and lived most of my life there, and i will be going back soon. There are people who are nice and friendly, you have people who dont care about anything, then you have the fast paste people who for some reason are always rushing, you also have those busy body neighbours who like to know everything that is going on and spy on you.

I lived in Chomedy Laval close to Vimont area, the one think that bothers me from living in Montreal is its never quite, there are always people walking around at night yelling, or snow-plows passing at night, you'd here ambulances or firetrucks passing by. When you drive downtown there is trafic galore, 6am in the morning, and 12 pm and of course 4-6 pm because people are driving home from work. Montreal really is a fast past city. I havent seen a person who would come help you out of your drive way if you are stuck in snow. Although it is a city full of opportunities, and things to do.

Sept-Iles a small town where things dont open at the same schedule in a big town. We also have local businesses that are small and cute. Although we are a small town and sometimes it can be scary because everyone knows you, or knows someone that knows you. So you would have to be careful for the things you would do or say. The people are different year the year i moved here, there was a snow storm an my mom had to bring us to school, and the night before it had snowed, we didn't know that it snows that much. and the plow had come and had left a big pile in front of our car. So my mom took the shovel and started taking on the snow. Our neighbour saw that we needed to leave and he came over with his snowblower and took out the snow for us. He didnt ask for anything in return all he did was smile and said "have a nice day". My mom was thriled and off we went to school.

Small town folks are way different then the big city folks. Although you still have some many people who dont give a poop about you in a small town as well. Those people are unavoidable to where ever you live.

Some words from a 19 year old who still has the worlds to explore,
