I included this chapter for one reason, you should be proud of where you come from. We all come from somewhere. As teenagers, we may want to leave or just 'get out'. The truth is, your home is your home. I am very proud to be from Texas. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Many important young ladies have come from all over the world. No matter where you come from, say it proudly. Also, know a bit about where you come from. According to the guide, the state tree of Texas is a Pecan tree. Why is it important to know this? A better question is, how can it hurt? The more you know, the better you are prepared for anything.
This is why history is so important. How can you know where you are going, if you do not know where you came from? Past mistakes or success can help you in the future. Even though the civil war was a bloody tragedy, America learned a lesson. We are stronger together than apart. If we didn't know our history, we would make the same mistakes again and again. What is the point in that?
To conclude, knowledge is power. Know about your state, your city, your family. You just may learn a few things.
