Moving cross country is very difficult to do, especially when you are 14 years old. Moving is intimidating, there will be new people, new houses, new schools, and even a completely different environment. Angela Burrow was 14 when she moved to Hot Springs, Arkansas from Fresno, California and she is determined on achieving the goals she has set for herself. Angela is a West Coast girl that has relaxing hobbies, a very large family, and she has set high goals for herself.
To start off, in Angela’s spare time she like to relax by listening to music. Her favorite artists are Kevin Gates and Kodak Black. Angela also enjoys watching Netflix when she can. Her favorite shows on Netflix are Stranger Things and Friends. She really
likes just spending time with her friends, whether they are swimming at the lake or going to see a movie.
Angela has a very large family that she cares a lot about and she is very close to her family. Her parents are divorced and both her mother and step mother are pregnant, not to mention that Angela has 4 brothers and 3 sisters. Even though that is a great deal of siblings to keep up with, Angela manages to stay close to her 7 siblings and is looking forward to two more. Angela’s father lives in Arkansas while her mother lives in California. Angela tries to visit her mother once, sometimes twice a year.
Most importantly Angela has substantial goals set for herself, which will be difficult to achieve and they will take a lot of work and effort to complete but she is determined to achieve them no matter what. Her main goal right now is to stay in school and to get a nursing degree. Angela also plans to get her CNA this year so that she can get a job at a retirement center or retirement home to gain experience and to help with finances. After she finishes school and gets her degree in nursing, Angela would like to get a more stable job as a nurse.
Ultimately, Angela has a plan and drive to reach her goal to be a nurse. She has an immense growing family that is supportive of her efforts and friends that keep her focused as well. Although Angela moved around a lot as a youth, that experience has made her become determined to achieve her goals and keep her family close regardless of the distance.
