Not a cloud in the sky and as I exited the school grounds heading back home I could feel the strong wind brushing against my face and through my hair. Today was just like any school day or was it?

I dislike being asked “Where are you from?” because I do not consider myself from any specific place. I have moved around several times as a child‚ which has given me the opportunity to meet different kinds of people each from distinct walks of life.
