My neighborhood is in the lower part of North Dorchester in Upham Corner area in between Roxbury and South Boston. It is a safe neighborhood, middle income residence, and it is also a multi cultural neighborhood of Boston. The population consists of Cape Verdeans, Caribbean’s, Caucasians, Chinese, Europeans, Hispanics, and Latinos.

Given its rich, diverse population and culture, you can find various restaurants in supermarkets. You have easy access to the Dorchester brewery company along side with a southern cuisine restaurant on the rooftop on Massachusetts Ave., Seaport District on Seaport Boulevard, S. Bay Center on Allstate Rd., Castle Island and Carson Beach in South Boston, a Catholic church, a wellness gym and theater and jazz District. These places are either in the neighborhood or close to my home.

I am the home owner who lives on the first floor. I tend to be optimistic, and gracious. I like my life to be simple and stress-free. My house rules are part of who I am, and I wish them to be followed. They are not difficult and it is what we do at home.

The other people live on the third floor. they are great students with great personalities. They always smile and have a kind word to say. I find them to be pleasant, kind, and helpful.
