Beaumont Reviews
Rating 3.37 out of 5 282 reviews
Growing up in Beaumont, some of the characteristics you see become normalized are not an everyday situation elsewhere. The opportunities to get jobs paying minimum wage or being blue-collar are limitless, but one common theme among young adults in the area is that if you want to make something of yourself, you must leave. While Beaumont provides affordable housing, you make concessions for how safe the area might be as Beaumont has one of the highest crime rates in the US. It'd be interesting to find if there were a correlation between the happiness of the citizens, or lack thereof, and this statistic. Growing up in this area gives few a sense of perseverance as we strive to change the world in our own way, and take advantage of the opportunities half of our high school class won't have the luxury of. Overall, I am blessed to have had the resources provided by my parents in order to make the most of our situation. Five houses down, someone's predicament was entirely different.
I was born and raised in Beaumont, Texas. I believe Beaumont, like any other small city, has its own unique qualities and experiences. I have many enjoyable memories from playing in the local parks, or going to the museums in downtown Beaumont. Beaumont is also full of diverse cultures, with local heritage festivals and celebrations. The local college, Lamar University, is a hidden treasure that houses one of the best engineering programs in the country, as well as other renowned majors. I firmly believe that Beaumont is a growing metropolis that has the potential to change the overall attitude of the Southeast Texas Area.
Beaumont offers such an alluring facade. Whispering promises, sweet and soft but also yelling them, openly, proudly. A coastal city, we say, the irony dripping softly off of the words, as the city shows no hypnotizing coastal view- instead it shows refineries and crowded streets. Economic success is the most common of these promises. Yet, most work day and night to provide for their quaint little homes in this coastal city. However, passionate, determined people make Beaumont a place whose presence cannot, will not be denied or looked over.
