Little Rock, Arkansas is known for its crime rate and is one of the low rated states in the nation. I like to differ this though. I've lived in Arkansas my whole life and I have grown to love my hometown. When I was young my friends and I would play on the streets and ride bikes until night. Growing up here I met many people from different backgrounds. Little Rock is very diverse and I don't see much opposition against race but to me, life here seems peaceful. I love my city, my home, and my people. If I could do it all over and start again, I would stay in Arkansas.
