Personal Narrative: I Want To Move

Decent Essays
It wasn’t that I didn’t want to move. No, not at all.

It would have been my intent to become one of those people who wake up at 5am and do yoga and drink water with fruit in it, and then go for a jog. But that would have been quite the change from who I was before moving.
But still, this whole “moving” thing was something which I felt obliged to oppose. Again, it’s not that I would miss anyone who went to my school back in California, or that I would no longer live in the house I grew up in, but it was more that things would be different than they were

    Living in Olathe, Kansas, a large suburb outside of Kansas City, did not prepare me for the move to Salina.

My senior year was when everything clicked into place and I knew what I want to do with my life, and that was flying.…
