Is this move really necessary?

We all had to adjust to way of living. We were all going to go to a new school in the fall and had to register, meet new people, and make new friends. What I remember about that summer is I was told that would have to take all of the classes that I didn’t want to take so that I could graduate. I hated every bit of this due to that I only really needed to take one class back in Utah. Well the first day of school came and all of us took this one day at a time and learned that we can have fun in Texas also, but we just needed to take that time to learn it. We also learned to we needed to rely on each other so that we could make it thru anything that came are
