City of Stress, is the crowning blunt nick name that suits Santa Ana, California my hometown. This city has been a playground brimming with gangs, prostitution, and immigrants battling for a better life. Unfortunately, some of its own natives here have witnessed their fair share of violence, discrimination, and deaths. Some have also witnessed the struggles over the years in the “City of Stress”, but at the same time keep their heads up. Santaneros today fight for a better tomorrow by allowing our youth to explore their options, working on uniting the families within our community, and making sure our voices are being heard. This is a Megalopolis where talented, passionate people come from. My city, the “City of Stress”, it's not perfect but I'm proud where I'm from. It made me appreciate life, my family and my community.
