My project, I will be working on the 8 Avenue neighborhood in Brooklyn. While I was searching for a neighborhood for my project, the first thing that came in mind was 8 Avenue. This neighborhood is where I grew up in. I want to know more about 8 avenue because I moved from that place when I was in 5th grade. My memories of that neighborhood is not strong but I still remember some special events such as parades and festivals that had happened. I will interview my grandparents and parents about 8 avenue. I would want to know, when they settled and why they settled in this neighborhood. What made it the right neighborhood for me to grow up in? The interview will consist of facts and opinions dated before I was born to present day. With the details, I will argue that a neighborhood’s environment greatly impacts a child’s life growing up in that community. Their attitude and their living habits are different because of their surroundings. A neighborhood is an extension of a home and it plays a great role in our early lives.
