What I like about living here is that there is less traffic, lower crime rates, and a stronger sense of community. As someone who does not deal well with change,moving to college late last year was the hardest adaptation to my life as I did not know much about the bigger possibilities there are outside. What I wish was different is more commercial centers, more public schools, more teachers, more banks, and houses. Because Soledad is not very well known, resources around us are limited. Due to the limited amount of resources offered, it requires everyone to commute 30-40 minutes to another nearest and larger town to find our specific necessities such as more public schools, housing options, more job opportunities. Another factor about Soledad is that it is a rural town that is mostly made of Chicano/Latinx individuals and few diversity is shown here. Aside from having limited options offered to my town, it is fulfilling to know what I would achieve to improve my town's resources.
Small towns like Soledad have a stigma that they are deadbeat and boring environments. I could safely say that this is not the case for this town. When you think of Soledad, images of the community and environment engulf your perception. With the empowering and hard working Latinx members of the community, loving friends and family you grow up with, breathtaking agricultural views, humble local events, and the overall appreciativeness and care for everyone and everything around you, living in Soledad is an amazing experience. The growing community and structures in this town is a beautiful process and gives more reason to love this small town.
Soledad is my hometown, the place where I grew up in, interacting with others in my community by making friends and attending festivities that occur every year. The town isn’t very big so most of the community knows each other. Although it’s a great place to raise a family, for most children raised in such a small town during their teen years find it as boring due to the lack of anything or someone new. But overall most of my experience living in Soledad has left me wonderful memories of my childhood and many other fun experiences.
