The Influence Of Divorce In My Life

When I was little I lived in Boydton, VA. It was a small town where everybody knew each other and were mostly family. My elementary school was five minutes from my house and family all lived on the same road so everything was comfortable for me. I grew up with an older sister and my parents were married. I loved school and playing outside with my pet dogs. Everything was going great, at least a thought so, until my parents got a divorce. I was just entering the second grade and was not sure exactly how to feel. The divorce affected me negatively because I was very young and devastated.

My dad was a big influence on me when I was little. He would take me riding on four wheelers, letting me ride horses and various other activities. I believe I would be a little more extraverted.

One of the major things that I would have like to have accomplished is opening a fitness center in my hometown to help youths become active and encourage them to be fit and healthy. Personally, I would like to be well known in various social groups to expand my network, knowledge, and build friendships. I plan owning different businesses so that my mom can retire which is a major accomplishment for me. In order for my future self to accomplish businesses and meet the right people to guide me in the right direction, my personality
