Intro
I have written my autoethnography on people who consider themselves city dwellers. I was born and raised in Washington, DC and I have so much pride in my city. I've always loved feeling one with the city which is why I love walking places and why I have picked up running. I may not be great with directions but because I have allowed myself to be okay with wandering aimlessly around the city you can rest assured that I can get around. I like knowing what is occurring in the city, I like being up to date with new projects and all sorts of things like that. Having such great connections to my city has definitely shaped the person that I am today. I am one who needs to experience things on her own, I love trying new things. I also really appreciate blogs (Borderstan is a personal favorite) now because when I was back home they kept me hip about everything I cared to know about such as the new restaurants opening up in my neighborhood or my favorite gifts boutique.

We had three other projects in our English class, to create a comic, to create a second autoethnography and to create a documentary,
- I created a comic based on of my running experiences
- My second autoethnography is on the beautiful outdoors
- Our group documentary is titled Mentality at Emory
