I live in the small city of Brandon, Mississippi. The town is so small in fact, I started preschool with kids in the city
and now I am in high school with a majority of the same kids. Everything about this town is familiar to me. Sure it
has changed and upgraded in some way, but it is still the same small city. When something happens in this city it
is most likely going to be heard by everyone. The community essentially knows every part of itself so a massive
amount of familiarity has formed between me and this city.

Brandon is convenient to all the amenities a person could ask for. With local shopping, outstanding restaurants, great outdoors areas of all our parks, fitness clubs and of course the reservoir, there is plenty of things to do all while living in a suburb which makes me feel safer than inner city areas. I'm just a few minutes from everything and that convenience is wonderful. Our school system is A+ rated so education in this area is also a big win!
The overall experience of this area is great because of the people, the convenience, and the safety. People here are very friendly and are willing to help anyone out. Where I live, the elementary, middle, and high school are literally five minutes away. Everything is very close you do not have to go far to get to the mall, or the grocery store. The safety of the area I believe is extremely important to why it is so great. I do not live too far from the capital Jackson, where things are not quite as safe but the city of flowood stays on top of things and tries to make flowood as safe and as comfortable as possible. I believe that is why many more people are moving into the area.
