Lucena City, My Hometown

I am a proud resident of Lucena City. The City of Lucena, is a a city located within
the province of Quezon. It is also the province’s provincial capital. As such, many
of the city’s residents are able to enjoy things not commonly found in other
municipalities and towns in Quezon. The malls, markets, restaurants, and various
common spots all played a part in my growth as a Lucenahin.

Growing up in the province is not so boring as others would think. Here in Lucena,
someone would be able to take part in things that can be found in more urbanized
places in the country. For example, as a student there would be times where my
classmates and I would often go to the mall to hang out after classes. Going to the
mall greatly staves off the stress and exhaustion we experience when studying in
school and it is a great place for us to bond with our friends and family. There are
also countless dining spots in the city, with various restaurants offering local and
even some international cuisine. When it’s lunchtime, we would usually have a lot
of choices to choose from as to where we could have lunch. A few steps outside
the school and you can already see McDonald’s, KFC, Jolibee, and many other fast
food restaurants.

It’s very fun and healthy, for the youth such as myself growing up in Lucena.
Education and other essentials are easily accessible. It also helps to have all of my
relatives and friends to be here in Lucena with me. Lucena is the place where I
made a lot of memories, and where I will continue to do so for the rest of my life.
