Montopolis is an area in Austin Tx, where there is a lot of cultural diversity. The schools here are full of minority students and their push for future education. Montopolis does not have the greatest view or the greatest availability of resources. Growing up in Montopolis, I would see the lack of financial need within my neighborhood. There was a lot of violence around my school to the point where lock downs and gun threats were a common issue within the school.
