Who could’ve thought moving states could cause such a change? I never knew it could… this much. As the for sale was ripped out of my yard‚ we returned back into my previous house. This was the day we moved to hot and big Texas. We hauled all our boxes‚ big and small‚ short and tall‚ into the moving truck. “Let’s go‚” my mom yelled.

Being born and raised in North Carolina‚ I’ve always been curious about living in a new area of the country. Ever since I visited San Francisco in sixth grade‚ I’ve been in love with the west coast.

That meant leaving behind all my friends‚ moving to a place I don’t know‚ packing up my whole word into a cardboard box--do they realize what they’re doing to me? “NO!
