Nebraska
Travelers on the Oregon, California and Mormon trails watched for Scotts Bluff, which rises 800 feet above the North Platte River, and for Chimney Rock in western Nebraska. Those landmarks told them how far they had come. Your life has landmarks too: a graduation, a first home, a long drive to somewhere new. Which moments showed you how far you had come? Write them down so the people after you can follow your trail.
The Homestead Act of 1862 invited millions to file land claims, including families, women, immigrants and formerly enslaved people, and Homestead National Historical Park near Beatrice tells their stories. Perhaps your own roots run back to a farm or a small town, or perhaps you arrived last year. Either way, your beginnings matter. Tell the people you choose where you came from, what you have built since and who helped you build it.
Since 1937, Nebraska has had a one-house legislature, the only state in the country that does. It is a fun fact that says something about doing things your own way. How do you like to get things done? What do you believe about fairness, hard work and looking after neighbors? Your views on these questions are part of who you are right now. Putting them into plain words, while they are fresh, leaves the people after you a clear picture of your mind.
