Hello!
My name is Paolo and I am from a small town in Arkansas called Fayetteville, where the trees are tall and the roads are small. When I was younger I would play out in the forests behind my house, and when I had to school, I would just walk down the street. It may not have been small city, but it always felt like one. I remember one time when I was in fourth grade and it appeared that we had somebody at the school that was not suppposed to be there. It turned out that somebody was a bear going through the garbage! I feel as though I got the best of both worlds, an arcade and mall for my city and forests to let my imagination run wild. Because of this I did not leave my state often and I have not seen most of the United States. I have not even been to Texas or California, though when I was in sixth grade I joined a club called The Explorer's Club. With this club I visited local parks and a couple large cities like St. Louis. You never know where adventure may be ready for you.
As I got older, I traveled further and further away from home. I moved out of my house when I was only 16 to live at my high school, and then I went to university in Chicago. At the high school we lived in a new building, but the school was in an old hospital which was quite spooky.
