Ok a little general, but it's a good way to break the ice. I grew up in Las Vegas, but I was born in Beaver County, Pa, just north of Pittsburgh. Where does everyone else hail from?

hi,
An interesting topic to know each others and different culture and tradations.
I born in Pakistan and got education in Pakistan, UK and Canada.
I migrated to Canada in year 2000 for better future but still not succeeded as here it is impossible for educated people to find work in their field inspite of their degrees and experience are recognized. Canada is loosing billions of dollars toward its economy by underutilizing the expertize and skills of highly educated migrantsas proved by various research studies. Canadian government should educate its employers that immigranrs/ new Canadian are as goods as the local canadian.

Hi, everyone, sorry it took me so long to respond to all of you. I am from Brooklyn, New York. Born and raised here. Most of all I am on this site to try to find opportunities for a better job and/or to find out more about government jobs that are available. I am looking forward to speaking to all of you.

I was born in Los Angeles and spent 4 years of my life there. After that, we moved to a small city 20 minutes from downtown Los Angeles and have been living there for 15 years. I moved away to college recently and I spent one year living in Davis, CA, but then moved to an apartment in Sacramento for my second year, which is where I currently live. I love California =)

Hi to everyone who would like to join us. Hi JZuk, I grew up in Lima, Peru also in Caracas, Venezuela and finally finished growing, I hope, in the sunny state "Florida" - in Miami. I have one daughter living in Chicago, Illinois and my loving husband who is from Jacksonville, Florida. We are a happy family enjoying freedom and the great opportunities that our country offers.

Thanks for the greeting. I wish you a happy holiday season and will get back on after next week. Enjoy! Susanne

Hello everyone - I'm pretty new to this site, but I've really enjoyed it so far. I was born in Modesto, CA, in the Central Valley. I am not a valley girl, however. I've also lived in Howell, MI and Cary, NC. I would love to live out in the coutry somewhere in Wyoming or Montana, on a ranch.

born and raised in the furthest northeast corner of PA in a town called Equinunk.

Where did I grow up? Well I was born and raised in Panama, Illinois which is a dot on a state road map but a town I still call home. My father was in the Navy, my mother a truck driver so I was left in the care of my paternal grandmother who had already raised my fathers 16 siblings! Large family doesnt even touch it! All of my fathers brothers were living in the same town after they proudly served in the military and his sisters pursued careers as domestic engineers. We were the typical American dream realized. My great grandparents immigrated to America in 1917 from Italy and settled in Southern Illinois to raise their family on a dairy farm. We were raised to be proud to be American and no matter what we done in life, be proud of it and give it 100 percent! Today my life has become so fast paced living in Houston, Texas and raising my own family so periodically I return home to Illinois to slow down and breathe. To me there is nothing like pulling into my hometown and stopping by the local tavern for a beer with old friends that somehow have managed to never change. I wonder at times if my hometown is the only place in America untouched by technology, society's new rules, and all that the modern age has to offer. My hometown of Panama is still the same today as it was yesterday and will be tomorrow. It makes me proud to say I am an American!

Howdy everyone just joined a few days ago and would like to put my two cents in. I was born in Lapeer MI and romped around in the trails and woods in the hogbacks in Columbiaville.
