dreams, but there are also people doing the opposite.

Janet Lincoln moved to St. Louis five years ago. Here’s what she said.

“I used to live in a small town called Bertrand. I grew up there. After I graduated from high

school, I worked in a supermarket. There were about 800 people in my town, and I knew most of

them. Most of them knew me, too. At the age of 21, I got a chance and moved to St. Louis. I love

it. I don’t know as many people now as I used to, but that’s OK. I live in an apartment and have

a few good friends. There are a lot of fun things to do in the big city.”
