Living in Stockton has been an interesting experience. It is definitely a different environment than what I was accustomed to. There are many public schools with great opportunities. There are many safety concerns, but I have not been in serious danger while in these communities. I feel safe within my neighborhood. There are various fast food locations throughout the city, as well as shopping centers. Many areas are becoming more urbanized which is great for job opportunities for any High School students. Stockton is very affordable when compared to other cities in California. It is very diverse and can find various restaurants.
I grew up in Stockton, California. This town was always known as being a part of the top 10 most dangerous cities in the United States and it still is. There’s gang violence, homicides, robberies, shootings, you know name it that is always going around in that city. Honestly growing up around that was quite hard. Although terrible things happen, our community has remained strong and encouraged empowerment. Despite all the negative traits that Stockton so blatantly possesses, growing up here is something I would consider to be a blessing. The levels of diversity and hard-nosed environment that I was exposed to as I was growing up molded me into a person who can speak with and relate to people from all different types of backgrounds and upbringings. With that being said, Stockton is somewhere I am proud to be from and will never be ashamed to admit to because I was brought up in a strong thriving diversity community that made me who I am today.
There's not much to tell about Stockton. It’s lots of gang violence and fights. The streets are filled with homeless people and druggies. Malls and football games get shut down constantly due to fights. Honestly it’s just not a good city to live in. Something bad is always happening, but if you’re the type to always be in the house then there’s really nothing to worry about. On the bright side though, it does have a lot of good eating spots and more that are always opening up. There’s a decent amount of stuff to do, like ice skating, bowling, going to the movies, or going to an event at the fairgrounds. Depending on what time you go to those places, do indeed affect the outcome of your experience. The schools are okay I guess. At least until you reach high school. That’s where all the messy stuff happens. That’s also around the time when a lot of kids just stop showing up to school or hardly go. It’s mostly the people that make the city intolerable.
