I come from a world where the only thing that is constant‚ is change. Changing states‚ changing houses‚ and changing schools. Unlike most other kids‚ I don’t have a childhood home where I made countless memories‚ in fact‚ my earliest memories as a child all consist of cardboard moving boxes‚ along with unimaginably long car rides to foreign places. I don’t have a door marked to show how I’ve grown over the years‚ and I don’t have a bedroom wall thick with paint covering over colors I chose as a child

Though some students are certain about their career choice — a huge majority are not — and in most cases‚ society peer pressures them into settling for a profession that is “realistic” or makes them feel insecure

I chose to do the only thing I thought I could do to get it. I stole it. It was the most frightening and embarrassing experience I have ever had.

The week before‚ I saw something in the grocery store that had really caught my eye. It was an aisle filled with candies. Lollipops‚ Skittles‚ Hershey Kisses‚ and Bubble Gum‚ you name it‚ they had it

My four brothers and I knew what being called to my parents room for a ‘meeting’ meant. “We have a new opportunity” my dad would say. My brothers and I would immediately sink into nervous excitement. We knew this meant that we would be moving. And moving meant something new like being close to the beach‚ having seasonal disney tickets‚ or a pool in the back yard.
