What West Union Means To Me
By Mikka Lowe

The Town of West Union means quite a lot to me. It’s the place I got my first kiss, it’s where my friend and I hang at, and most importantly it’s where I go to school.

Ever since I was little my family has lived near West Union, we’d all go in on weekends to one of the restaurants to eat then go visit with friends. West Union is such a small town, everyone knows each other, it’s kind of like one big family. It’s such a great town even if it is a little boring and small. I love that I could probably go to anyone in West Union for help if I needed it.

I’m positive school sports are the most important thing in town. On Friday nights during the fall you can probably find everyone at the football field watching the game. Even the kids who you probably wouldn’t expect to see at a school event are there to hang out and cheer for the home team.

West Union is home to some of the nicest people ever. Everyone would gladly give you whatever you needed if you were to ask. When you walk down the street you end up stopping at least twenty times because you know everyone you pass by and talk with them.

West Union is a place you can go and just be yourself and no one will judge you, you could make a family here and feel completely safe and that’s what I love.
