At the mention of my hometown, Pierre Part, my heart is filled with love, and my whole being is put at ease because the truth is that I am a small town girl in love with the little paradise of Pierre Part, Louisiana. My hometown is very special to me because of the community spirit blossoming from within, the beauty it upholds, and the adventurous childhood it has allowed me to experience.

The little speck of land, barely on the map, named Pierre Part has one of the best communities. It possesses a simply welcoming and friendly atmosphere. It is one of the best places to be when a disaster occurs because the people of Pierre Part do not hesitate to offer their assistance and pull together as one for the good of all. If you were to knock on any given Pierre Partian's door, you will most likely be greeted with a "Come on in y'all!" and depart with a "Mais it's early, sha!" Although the Cajun accents may be a little hard to understand, the lively spirit of Pierre Part is clear through every handshake and hello.

Through all my travels, which have been very many might I add, I have come across quite a few small towns such as Pierre Part, but I have never seen a more beautiful place. Pierre Part is blessed with the purest natural beauty because of our swamps filled with mossy trees and all kinds of God's creatures. It's very difficult for me to walk outside and not give praise to God for creating such a beautiful flourishing piece of land.

Not only am I in love with my hometown because of the people and natural beauty, but also when I look back on memories made. I cannot help but be thankful for growing up in Pierre Part. I am definitely a barefoot type of girl, which makes my hometown the perfect place for a child like me to grow up. I'm almost certain that I have never spent a sunny day inside in my whole life. My family and I always enjoy fishing, picnics, back yard baseball, four wheeler riding, swimming, or some type of outdoor activity. If I had not grown up in my hometown, I'm not sure I would have turned out to be the fun loving spirited person I am today.

I truly love my hometown so much that if it is in God's plan, I would be completely content in living the rest of my life in Pierre Part. Although it may be smaller than most towns, the loving spirit of the community as a whole is quite large. Not only is the heart and soul of Pierre Part beautiful, but also the scenery is definitely one of God's masterpieces. I am so blessed to be able to say that I am a full-blooded born and raised Pierre Partian.
