Croton on Hudson is a small suburban area in Westchester county that resides a small population of about 8000 people. This village is located in the town of Corlandt Manor and his been somewhat of a main attraction to foreign neighborhoods wanting to see the popular landscapes of the area. Even though I was never born in Croton, I was fortunate enough by the Grace of God to attend the school districts and indulge in its many amenities. Croton is a town full of excitement but its funny that many people don’t really see it or even try to delve into what it can offer. It’s a small and quiet town and many families just live there for the distance away from the noisy cities and because they want to have their children go through a good school system. There are so many places that are very elegant and spontaneously try to be inviting to the community.

I started from 5th grade at 10 yo and have went through the school system all the way to high school. My experience in this town has been a joyful one. I was able to gain a lot of friends and even establish myself in the community through sports. Because of the Recreational Department I was able to play many sports like; little league baseball, flag football, basketball and my favorite was AYSO soccer. I continued to play sports through middle school and high school. I felt that that kept me busy and occupied throughout my days. My school years growing up in that town was very fun, even uplifting, but I would always travel to my family that resided in Queens for grounding. I always looked forward to the weekends^_^. This town and the people I encountered opened my eyes to many different things in this world and because of that I am forever grateful.
