New York has been my home forever and it's such a great state. Even though there is a lot of snow, I've never ever been touched by a natural disaster. That's a huge blessing. New York City is, to me, the entertainment capital of the world (I haven't visited since I was in the second grade, but I'd love to visit again), There are other cool states here too. Also, New York is very close to Canada, which is a great place. What's also cool is that in some towns, like Lake Placid, there are a lot of people speaking French and I find that cool because French is one of the two languages I'm learning (the other being Japanese).
