In Augusta, I was always ten minutes away from my parents and family. If anything went wrong, I could always call my family and they were there for me in a matter of minutes. My parents raised me to be independent, but I did not know the value of that until I moved to North Carolina. It was not until the first time my car did not start when I realized how dependent I was on my family to help me. In Augusta, if something was to happen with my vehicle I would just call my dad and he would give me a ride to the repair shop and loan me a car to borrow until mine was fixed. In Raleigh though, I did not have that option. I could not pick up the phone and call my parents, and I did not have anyone else to rely on for help here either. I had to figure it out myself, and quickly learned about UBER and all of its glory. Leaving my home and moving to a place where I knew no one presented me with the opportunity to be more independent and depend upon myself instead of anyone else. This has been the best aspect of moving that I have valued the most so
