I was born in Bluefield, West Virginia. A small city on the southern border of the Mountain State. On the other side of that border is the town of Bluefield, Virginia. Bluefield is one community in two states. Bluefield is also about three and a half hours from Morgantown and just over an hour away from Blacksburg. So while the community is closer to Blacksburg, there are still a large number of die-hard Mountaineer fans, like myself.
While I was born and lived on the West Virginia side, I soon found myself in Virginia to attend school. One thing that always stuck out to me in school was that classrooms always seemed divided.
