I wish there weren't a lot of abandoned houses.

If you were interested in being a doctor, you could find a job at the nearby hospital, but other than that there are little to no actual good jobs. There seems to be in my area a cashier at Pathmark or a cashier at a fast food place, other than that even the local teachers are losing their jobs because of the numerous budget cuts to the school system that the Newark schools are suffering from.

There are no gyms in this area, there is one recreation center that is shared between Newark and Irvington which has a swimming pool, a tennis court and a basketball court outside and study rooms on the inside but other than that people in this area have nowhere to go to exercise or stay physically active unless they go to a neighboring city. I dance at my school therefore, my need to be physical is not met in my city but, outside the city.

In the past we have had quite a few hurricanes which left us without power or hot water for a few days, in addition to some heavy flooding around the area. We also have a lot of severe snowstorms and blizzards. This year especially, we had blizzard after blizzard and there was no time to recover.
