Welcome to San Francisco

By Daniela Nah Gonzalez 

The constant changing of the weather and the misalignment with the seasons.
It can be fall and be hot like summer.
The city bursting with diversity like a splash of different colors.
The city having different ethnic towns like Japantown, Chinatown, and the Mission District.
The local laundromat, the local restaurant, and the local grocery store.
The sense of community in each district is astounding.
Our designated schedules with our designated places.
The Golden Gate Bridge standing strong as a representation of our strength.
I wonder if anyone from the outside feels the same?
I am lucky I get to experience this.
I welcome you to San Francisco!
We are golden!
