autobiography

I was not born in the south, and it's been debated on whether or not I'm truely a northerner. I was born and grew up in Delaware. Now that I live in the south, I say that I am a northern. I moved to Wake Forest when I was fourteen. There was been some bits of the southern culture that I have seen and others that I have managed to avoid. I have seen the religous aspect of southern live. I have friends who go to church every sunday morning and have a big dinner afterwards. None of them really have a big familys, but some still have several generations living in the same area. Because i moved to an area where many other northerners were coming to, I see a more northern influenced society then true southern. I am used to hearing a light southern accent, but I don't normal hear a heavy southern acent. I probably couldn't understand one if I did. I feel bad, but sometimes i still laugh at a few of the words that my friends say.
