North Dakota has been my home since I was born ans has been the home of my ancestors from hundreds of years ago. Life has always been quiet and peaceful but in the past years the entire state has watched as oil changed our lives. People from across the nation and across the world came into the state as businesses and companies sprouted in our cities. No longer is North Dakota the quiet little state that no one knows about. The economy has boomed, population is at an all time high, and North Dakota is experiencing diversity it has never had before.
