Writing Prompt 1:

If I had the option of living in any city in the U.S., I would choose New York City. Now I know this is a very common answer but mine might be a for a couple of different reasons than others. Many people say they love New York City because of all the shops it has and the city life. Even though that is part of why I like it, it is not even close to the full reason of why I would want to live there. I definitely do love the city life - all the constant action, busy streets, vendors and boutiques, and just daily life in general. Everyone is always doing something; there is never a chance for boredom.
The culture in New York City is full of diversity. People of many different nationalities come to this city; you could walk down 8th Street and find over a dozen different foreign restaurants. My family and I visit our relatives in New York usually every year, and every time I am captivated by its beauty. Beauty in the towering skyscrapers, narrow alleys, boutiques lined up and down the streets, and rain.

I love the rain. I know that many people dream of moving somewhere in the west like Los Angeles or San Francisco where they don't have to worry about gloomy weather, but I am the opposite. I enjoy the dark, rainy days everyone else is so against. New York City is still full of life despite the wet atmosphere on these cloudy days; as we all know: a little rain never hurt anybody!
