My dad came here over 30 years ago and my grandparents, my mother and her siblings came here over 40 years ago. My grandfather worked hard to buy a house (which my family still owns). My parents met, married and bought a business and building down the block from my mother's family about 30 years ago (which they still own and we still live in). My uncles also opened a business over 30 years ago on Central Ave. which they still own and run.

I love Jersey City, but theres plus and minus to every place. I've seen it change so much but there is still definitely more room for improvement. So hopefully as the years go by it will continue and change for the better.

It's hard to find good Catholic schools because they don't have much money, what they do have pretty much goes to just maintaining the schools. and it's hard to have things like fundraisers and stuff to help get money to make the schools better because a lot of times it's difficult to get parent participation to help coordinate these events. It's a catch 22 sometimes because all the parents want to put their kids in the best Catholic schools but they don't want to help make them the best.

I went to St. Joseph on Pavonia Ave. in Jersey City all through school (except one year I wanted to try public school which I didn't enjoy so I returned to St. Joe's in 7th grade). I still help out at the school and I"m part of the alumni committee. It's a great atmosphere and the people there become like your family. I'm still close with my Kindergarten and 8th grade teachers (which are still at the school, except my former 8th grade teacher is now the principal) I love it there and hope to send my kids there one day.
