"If you ask for help, you get it here."
- Sharon Livingston
Sharon is originally from New York and moved from Oklahoma to Chapel Hill, NC for medical training. At the time of the interview, she had been in Chapel Hill for three years. Her first impressions of Chapel Hill were positive given the attitudes of her colleagues. Her shared experiences are centered on her medical work at UNC. She notes that the ambulance service arrives almost immediately. She talks about her relationship with her neighbors, especially since she has a son. She shares that she feels safe in the tight-knit community. Livingston also shares her frustrations with moving from Oklahoma to Carrboro. One of her frustrations is the higher cost of living in comparison to Oklahoma. In Carrboro, the schools have social workers who helped provide furniture for her family.
