During this time, I assume everyone in Texas wears a cowboy hat, boots, talks in a southern accent such as saying y’all and other such stereotypes.

    A universal theme for me moving from Texas to California is overcoming. I was 8 years old when my family moved, and had to overcome knowing no one, a new school, and being out of my comfort zone. At this age you tend to start making good friends, all hang out in groups, and be less adventurous. My parents kept saying, “Find people who like the same things as you, and everything else will be easy”. The next week I did just that.…

    Shortly after my eighteenth birthday, I found myself spending a great deal of time escaping a less-than-desirable reality by playing internet role playing games. There was a realization within myself that I needed a change of scenery, so I gathered a few of my prized possessions, purchased a bus ticket and left shortly thereafter to visit a good friend in Texas.

Moving to Texas was an experience that taught me about the environmental differences between places, added responsibilities and the importance of having caring people in my life.…
