Park Student Profile

Madeline Burson
Hometown: Mindanao, Philippines

Madeline describes her hometown:

I was born in Mindanao which is two hours away by airplane from the capital city, Manila. It is one of the largest cities in Philippines and is surrounded by beautiful mountains and beaches. There are lots of farmlands where most of the people own their own farms. Because my city is far away from the capital city, it’s a very quiet and peaceful city with less noise and crowds. If you are a nature lover, you will enjoy the natural beauty of Mindanao.  You can also enjoy eating natural healthy food and fruits and many varieties of sea food. During weekends some people stay at home, some will go shopping, fishing, watch movies, go to clubs or some just keep working hard on their farms. Then on Sunday most people go to church.
