When looking back into my life I have had many life changing events happen to me, but they were not really life changing because they happened all the time.

Let us start on why we were moving this time, because this time was different. We lived in Logan, Utah and this time dad had a job, dad did not make bank, just enough to pay our bills. Bu the problem was that he worked away from home, far away. He drove for a trucking company called CCP. He shipped bees from farm to farm to harvester to harvester.

It’s hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that someone who is fairly famous and someone who has no significance in this world can be alike in many ways. Having read this book a few years back, it was actually helpful to me. It may have been helpful in the most indirect way possible, but helpful nonetheless. The Glass Castle had a small part in helping me through my problems with depression and anxiety.…

I remember finding out that he put my name in a few months later.…
