I took away the fact that not everybody is proud of where they grew up at but it is your choice to embrace that or lock it away and act like your hometown didn't shape you. Overall, as annoying as my city maybe it had instilled certain values in me that are crucial to my survival.

# data[].attributes.body
Everyone has had different experiences from where they have grown up. Because that is the case, you can't get mad if certain people choose to dislike where they come from. No city is perfect so if something really bothers you about your hometown, then you have the power to change it because nothing will change if nobody is putting in the effort to create change. But for me personally, as bad as I want to get out of Newark and explore new places, I will also always embrace where I come from because this was my first home and Newark taught me how to survive in difficult situations.

My first takeaway is that we DO have a choice if we want to follow the path of our city or create our own path. Just because we come from a city where there’s violence or poverty, doesn’t mean that we have to end up like that. We look at options and determine ourselves if that’s the right way to go. My second takeaway is that not many of my peers are proud of the city they come from.

# data[].attributes.body
A take away from the responses is that not everyone feels the same way about where they come from. Some individuals might value and praise their city while others may not think highly of  where they are from. Another take away is that people grow up and obtain different knowledge from their environment.

# data[].attributes.body
I learnt that we all think similar. We might disagree on a couple things concerning our city but at the end of the day, Most of us aren’t ashamed of Newark or where we are from and we don’t see anything wrong with moving out if we need to expand our horizon or change our environments.

# data[].attributes.body
My take away from the discussions are:
its evident that everyone has different experiences which shapes different value systems and it comes from the environment that you grew up in. some people are ashamed of their city and others hold are proud of where they come from. some hold those struggles they experienced near to them and learned lessons from them. i learned that its all about how you look at a situation which will determine how a person will react to it.

# data[].attributes.body
It came to my attention that not everyone likes where they come from. They want better and frankly I don’t blame them. In my opinion Newark nj is an area that needs lots of work done plus Newark does not have a plan like there are not much opportunities our here and may people actually want the option to stay where they are or have an amazing life and Newark limits that option at least to the ones that have been living here. In my opinion . I am not ashamed of where I come from I just feel as though if things were different it’ll be better.

# data[].attributes.body
My take away from the many discussions is that not everyone feels the same way of the city that has shaped them. This being said, Some of us are more able to embrace the many things that we have faced and experienced in our city as they have put great values in our lives and some just cant seem to do the same as they are ashamed of the city and the many things that they have experienced.

# data[].attributes.body
My take away from all the discussions is that Newark has effected many people differently. It has either help people become the person they are today, or Newark has show them the type of person they don't want to be. Newark is a place that needs its citizens to come together to make it a better place

# data[].attributes.body
My takeaway from all of the discussions is that not everyone views their hometown the same. While others may be proud to "rep" their streets and blocks. Other may instead use that as the motivation they need to get out of their city. I believe that Newark impacted everyone growing up here differently.

# data[].attributes.body
My takeaway from all the discussions is that everyone goes through different experiences and challennges , so being from Newark shouldnt make you but this city should teach you things. Newark needs alot of things done but so does life. You make your own decisions and paths to life

What I've learned from these past classes are that it's not where you come from that defines you it's really what you do as a person who defines you , and I cant let the bad I hear about keep me away from my city , Yes! this city needs improvement but its what its known for that makes it good and I can't let that drive me away from here

My takeaway from all the discussions we had with my peers is that there are many challenges that they face. Some have many different ways of solving the obstacles they face.

My takeaway from all the discussions we had with my peers is that there are many challenges that they face. Some have many different ways of solving the obstacles they face.

# data[].attributes.body
My main take away from my peer is that there are many experience and challenges that there have faced and because of this there have learned to grow up and out of a new learning experience out of it. Also to know that the world is way bigger then most of uses care to admit and that your never truly alone.

# data[].attributes.body
My main take away is I just felt that everyone was confident to say what they had to say, everything remained positive. And I just like how this topic was brought up because this is a serious topic because we are the ones who is going through this because this is the city that we live in

# data[].attributes.body
My main takeaway was seeing everyone's different point of views. Some students believed that getting away from Newark while others thought it was wrong to move away and not credit where you cam from.

# data[].attributes.headline
My takeaway was seeing how many people go through different things in life . I also learned that most people wanted to get away from the city for a better life . Many people have dealt with challenges on their own not having the right support system but as ONE we all should be there for each other because you never know what somebody is going through .

One thing I learned from my peers is that even though we all think we're different ways , we're not. A lot of my peers think the same and believe the same things. We all have the general idea that you don't have to be a product of your community . And being that most of them are from Newark I also learned that a lot of my peers want to be successful and something other than being from Newark.

# data[].attributes.body
Not everyone is proud of where they grew up and  everyone is entitled to what they believe, (this is America) however a lot of people  understand that Newark can only become this place that would be loved nation wide, if we that live here love it first. The power to change newark is in the hands of Us the people that live here.

# data[].attributes.body
My takeaway after listening to my peers, is that where they are living at has affected them in a different way whether it's good or bad and some have taken that as a lesson to making a change and wanting different things in life.

# data[].attributes.body
Starting this project, I didn’t anticipate it being as effective as it is, I didn’t think so many people would have so many different opinions. Two things I learned from listening to my peers was 1) our experiences not only make us different but they make us who we are & impact how we maneuver 2) many of my classmates are woke & want change for our city which I feel is great!

# data[].attributes.body
Some key takeaways would be that they are proud where the come from but rather not stay where they came from. Also noticing that there's not growth and they have to put themselves in a different state to prevent themselves from being in the endless cycle

# data[].attributes.body
You do not have to live forever in the place that you are born in. There are people that just feel like they need a change of scenery and there is nothing wrong with that. It doesn't make the place that they left for that change in scenery better or worse.

My main takeaway is everyone has different views on Newark. Some believe that people don't support each other, some think that people do, some people want to leave Newark and others want to support the community from the inside so there are different perspectives.

# data[].attributes.body
Main takeaway  is  where you live sometimes has a huge reflection on you personality and how  differently you view the world. A lot of people tend to  talk about wanting to grow as a community, help each other and build a strong foundation but yet hate to  see each other winning and accomplishing greater things.

# data[].attributes.body
From listening to my peers, where you live is what molds you into the person you are today. Not every city or state or country is perfect. It's all about the people, the culture, and the atmosphere. In regards, to my city, Newark, I love my city to death but it needs fixing it. Where I live shouldn't hinder my own future.

# data[].attributes.body
One take away i took after listing to my peers is that different experience form different opinions of the city we live.In addition different choices and background where they come from allow them to see differently the city of newark as well as their choices in the futures and advantages they choose to take

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that the younger generation feels a larger responsibility for the success of their city than older and successful people. Our environment plays a large role in the people we become and it is important to help others develop and prosper. If you have the resources and the knowledge, you should share it with the next generation in order to better your community as a whole.

# data[].attributes.body
From listening to my peers I've learned that not everyone will share the same experience and have the same outlook as me. Though our differences is what helps us come together as we're able to share our experiences and learn something new. Without our peers, we wouldn't be able to see life from different perspectives

# data[].attributes.body
One takeaway from the responses is that people dont have the same feelings about their backgrounds. Some decide to leave it in the past and not look back at it.  Most people may admire and respect their hometown, although some may have negative feelings about it. The point to remember is that individuals learn to grow up about their surroundings in various ways.

# data[].attributes.body
Two takeaways I got from my peers is that all of our experiences are different and have made us who we are today. This is why we cannot judge each other and blame others for our differences in opinions because our experiences have taught us different lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
From listening to my peers one takeaway that I have took from this is that although the community you live in shape who you are and  has an effect on your goals and career it is ultimately yourself and your goal driven mind that will give you the final push and that will determine everything you want in life. In terms of our city it starts with a mind first and as we use our minds it then spreads to groups and communities

# data[].attributes.body
two things i learned wass how passionate ab out thedir city, also the lack of change.

# data[].attributes.body
One take away that I learned after listening to my peers is that we all have different opinion and view things from a different point of view. Also that the things that we all go through is what makes us think and view things in a certain way.

i learned that my peers have a love hate relationship with their city. they either love where they are from and hate the people or love the people and hate where they are from

# data[].attributes.body
Two takeaways that I learned after listening to my peers was that everyone has their own voice and opinions on where they grew up and overall your city can shape the experience you've been through , throughout your life but how you use those experience for better or worse is up to you. The experiences we face on a daily lead up to the choices we make and the lessons we learn so we either use those as an advantage or regret not taking advantage of that moment.

The first take away that I learned is how people grew up in Newark and the fact that there’s no freedom for a place like Newark there nothing but violence. Many people have died and many of them had great talents that they never got to show the world because of the environment they live in and by the people there surrounded by. By Juan Rivera

I learned that a lot of my class mates feel mostly the same and I realized that I don’t agree with a lot of them because of the simple fact that I am a person that thinks everyone should worry about themselves. However I do feel that if everyone in Newark was supportive and gave an effort to help one another then the economy could be increased and the violence would decrease. I also feel that most of the violence is my generation too and this is because these kids aren’t educated to love they just want to hurt each other and this is ignorant because the white man would have no problem with us killing ourselves.

# data[].attributes.headline
The biggest takeaway for me is that everybody has a different perspective on Newark. Some people claim that people should not value one another, while others say that they do. Some people wish to leave Newark while some want to help the group from inside, so there are a variety of viewpoints.
