traveling is nice, but the GSE is home.
A big GSE thanks to Kevin from North Hills Senior High School, who writes:
Pennsylvania is truly a great place to live. From its very beginning, Pennsylvania was a colony that guaranteed religious, political and personal freedom. New starts entering the Union modeled their constitutions after the U.S. constitution that was created in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The state motto for Pennsylvania is Virtue, Liberty and Independence. The Declaration of Independence was also written in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania was also a key battlefield for wars that shaped our nation – the Revolutionary War and the Civil War.
Pennsylvania’s largest cities include Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, and Erie. There are many historic places to visit in Pennsylvania. The Liberty Bell, which is in Independence National Historic Park, Philadelphia, was first rang on July 8, 1776 to celebrate the Declaration of Independence. Other attractions include Daniel Boone Homestead, Hershey (world’s largest chocolate factory) and Fallingwater (built by Frank Lloyd Wright). Pennsylvania also has many art museums and libraries.
Pennsylvania professional teams have always has a reputation as tough, gritty, winners. The Pittsburgh Steelers won four Super Bowls in five years in the 1970’s. Pennsylvania also has professional teams in baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, and lacrosse. I was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania so I am more partial to Pittsburgh than any other city in Pennsylvania. There are many places that I would like to travel to, but will always consider Pennsylvania my home.
