As I sit here in my bedroom at college, about to finish my first semester of my sophomore year, I'm beginning to miss the place that shaped me into the person I am. Sure, Massachusetts may be only two hours away from Connecticut, but it's a completely different vibe here.

When I close my eyes and think about my home, I can't help but smile. Home is where memories were made and where I became the person I am today.

I miss being minutes away from the beach where late night adventures happened, and the newly 2015 Brien McMahon graduates sat and watched the sunrise for the last time together before we all said our goodbyes, not only to high school but for some of us, Connecticut.

Home is where I stepped outside of my comfort zone and surprised myself with things I never knew of I was capable of.It's because of my small hometown in Connecticut that I have gotten some of the opportunities I have.

The 203 isn't just an area code.
