Wood-Ridge the Beautiful

    Whenever I hear the phrase “America the Beautiful”, I wonder what the most beautiful place in America is.  I guess it’s different for everyone, but for me it is my hometown of Wood-Ridge, New Jersey.  When I go back to school after summer vacation, I hear everyone talking about how sad they are that they aren’t still on vacation.  It’s different for me; I always miss my home.  I can go on vacation to anywhere in the world, but nothing beats my home.  It is my favorite place.

    One of the reasons I love this place is because it is full of spirit, pride, and unity.  Here in Wood-Ridge, you can’t go one block without seeing a cheerleader with her pom-poms, a little boy in his baseball uniform, or our town mascot (the Blue Devil) on a bumper sticker.  We have great amount of spirit, and take pride in our town.  This gives us all something in common, and a strong sense of friendship.  Nobody ever feels out of place in Wood-Ridge.

    Another thing I like about Wood-Ridge is that it is close to impossible to be bored.  There is always something to do, and always somewhere to be.  We have an excellent sports program, which is one of my favorite things to do.  If you don’t really want to play sports, you can hang out on the Boulevard.  The Boulevard is the main street that runs through town.  It has many hot spots for friends and families, such as restaurants, stores, ice cream places, and anything else that can fill the streets with bright colors and sweet smells.

    My absolute favorite thing about my home is everyone in it.  All the people in Wood-Ridge are neighborly, loyal, and friendly.  I believe they are the key ingredient in my feeling comfortable, and very safe.  They are also very loyal, and welcoming.  If anyone ever needed anything, everyone helps out.  We are all like one big family.

    From my point of view, my home is the most beautiful place in America.  This little town is my sanctuary, and it is my refuge from the busy world that revolves around me.  This is the only place that I can feel totally and completely secure.  Wood-Ridge is beautiful for so many different reasons.  When all these reasons are added up, I come to the realization Wood-Ridge is the most beautiful place.  GO BLUE DEVILS!
