Personal Narrative: My Life In Lamar, Colorado

At the end of my freshman year in high school my dad got a good job opportunity to go work in Lamar, Colorado. He had a few interviews to go through before he knew if he got the job or not, so after he had the interviews he got the job and was really excited about it. While he was doing the interviews he told my family about the opportunity that had come up. I was not happy at all and I did not want him to take the job. My brother and sister, however, did not have a preference about whether he took the job or not.

It was scary walking into a school where I didn’t know a single person. Throughout that day I met some really nice people and I made some friends, which was really nice. I noticed that school here in Colorado was very different from school in Texas. School here was a little more laid back and easier for me. Later that year, I tried sports for the first time and I ended up liking them a lot. It was nice to have that opportunity because in Texas I would have never gotten to play. I made lots of friends from playing sports, which was really exciting to me. In the end I was very happy that my dad made the choice to move to Colorado.Even though we don't have any family here, it's okay because we can visit our family in Texas every once in awhile. Even though I thought I was going to hate it here, I ended up loving it. I like how there are a lot more opportunities here and I like that it's a small town so you get a chance to meet a lot of people. Personally, I feel that this move taught me that sometimes change is good and sometimes it can be for the better. Also I have learned that everything will work out in the end, even if you don't think it
