Waiting

Waiting for the group of golfers ahead of me to finish playing the hole so I can hit my next shot... 5 minutes 48 seconds.

Race Portrait

My town of New Bethlehem is very small and very rarely sees any other race but Caucasian. I would say about 98% of my town is Caucasian. The remaining 2% consists of African Americans and foreign people. In my school we only have a handful of African Americans and usually our foreign students are foreign exchange students. For the most part my community accepts people of different races.

New Bethlehem

My home town is New Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. It is located about 60 miles north of Pittsburgh. Local small towns are Distant and Hawthorn. It has an area of one half of a square mile and a population of about 1,000 people. I live just outside of town, away from all of the buildings and people. My house is nestled between beautiful lush green hills and forest. New Bethlehem is very small and closely knit. It is an old railroad town, though recently the railroad tracks were taken out and made into a walking trail. The railroad had been built to navigate through the mountains and was often used to haul coal or even people. There is also evidence that Indians once inhabited the area along the creek. A local archaeologist uncovered artifacts including pottery at a site called Fishbasket which is just out of town. New Bethlehem is made up of working class people. My town is very friendly. I love being able to go to town and see familiar faces.

This is a picture of me after becoming Girl's District 9 Champion in golf last year. I plan to base my memoir on my expierences I have learned from golf.

Hi there!
