    I have lived in Golden Gate all my life, and I believe that we have a bad reputation that we do not deserve. We are seen as ghetto, but I feel that we are a great community. Our community comes together every weekend to sell food and goods. One thing that I would change about Golden Gate is that there are more sidewalks so that it is less dangerous to walk home from school.

    I like that Golden Gate is very safe and secure and it offers various opportunities for school and jobs. I also like that it is very close to the beach, and it is a good distance away from tourist destinations such as the Florida Keys, Tampa, and Orlando. Golden Gate offers many diverse dining opportunities ranging from fast-food to expensive dinners on the beach. Furthermore, it offers many different recreational activities such as water parks, movie theaters, and a nearby ice-skating rink.
    A low-income community, filled with several food options and businesses. The streets are fairly safe and has bus stops within the area for those taking public transit. Schools have technology provided for students to use while in school.
