  1. Hi Mya, thank you for sharing your response. I respect your decision to use a local trend to talk about in your blog post. I personally have a strong connection with how an environment can affect your lifestyle and chances of making it out of school. I came from a city where it was hard to make it out. I believe this to be an easy trend to exploit as well. Good work!
