Final compare & contrast

As a child I grew up in two very different homes. As a younger child I grew up in a city called Port St. Lucie. Now I live in a small county called liberty county. As I grow older I realize the living in the middle of nowhere has its perks. However; each place I have lived has been very peculiar.

I never had to travel far for the things I need like health care. For instance, I am a diabetic. Living in Bristol I have to drive 45 minutes to get the prescriptions that I need. However; living in Port St. Lucie it is more convenient to drive a couple miles to...
