A lot has happened in our great state lately. The evening of April 4th 25 coalminers lives were lost due to a methane gas explosion at the Upper Big Branch mine in Raleigh County. Many West Virginians are affected by the loss. Our state has great people in it and just like we always do, we pull together and help out one another.
This brings me to what WV means to me. I am proud to be apart of West Virginia. From the rivers and streams to the highest mountains, there are many great things about our state. The greatest thing about it is the people. The people of West Virginia are very unique. We also have a great history behind our state. No matter where life takes me I will remember my home.
This state is very important to me. To hear people talk bad about our state or not even know it exists disgusts me. As West Virginians we are perceived very negatively. We are known as hillbilly's, hicks, etc. Truth be told we hold some of the most humble people in the U.S. A West Virginian would be willing to do anything for someone else, but unfortunately we aren't looked at that way.
So being from West Virginia makes me proud, I will always know where I came from and will be very proud of my great state. West Virginia will always in my mind be the greatest state in the U.S.
