Growing up you never realize how much you will miss your hometown. Rather, you think of all the reasons why leaving would be the biggest blessing on earth. Even though I am now at college in a completely new city with everything at my hand; Hershey, PA will always be “the sweetest place on earth”.
1. You never have to envy Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory because you know Hershey's is better.
(Fun Fact: more than 60 million kisses are made a day)

4. There is endless entertainment.

What used to be dairy fields is now a prosperous town hosting wonderful things like the Milton Hershey School and Hershey Medical Center, thanks all to Milton S. Hershey pursuing a dream.
10. It's home!
It is where I have created my “sweetest” memories and grew up. No matter where I go, Hershey will always have my heart. Hershey is my hometown! "There is no place
