Chicago

Chicago — My Chosen Home

Chicago is the Second City, but second to none.

It’s a city rooted in reality — strong, unyielding, and alive.

It gives people the chance they may never have found in the place they happened to be born.

Chicago is beautiful and ugly, love and hate —

a collection of cultures still learning to integrate.

But one thing Chicago will never do is back down.

My chosen home, Chicago, is without a doubt the greatest city on earth.

And if anyone can outlast this horrible affront to our people, it’s Chicago.

I wasn’t born here,

but I’m glad I can now — and forever will — call her home.
