Improved Essays
Moving has never really been a problem for me.
It was my seventh grade year when it happened.
June/17/2014 I am willing to take the commitment.

My dad was finally home, we got to be a family again, I thought so at least . Things were happening and everything was changing. My dad was already in California before my brothers, sister and I had moved.

Which I didn’t mind because I enjoy school. The one person that I was going to miss the most was my best friend. Lili. We had talked everyday, She was one of the I run to with my little drama to my crying wanting to come back home. Anyway when my family and I had got a house. That was the day I knew I was ready for my new life, a new start, and I was already adapted, I had started meeting new people and the one person I meet was Ari. She was an other person I had went to tell things to if i was irritated, it took time and everything was falling into place, I didn’t only go to people but I had also went and thought myself through everything. After moving to California it was like I have been on an adventure since. I am always up for trying new things, and going to different places, After that everything had went downhill. My dad said he wasn’t going to move back to Oregon, and mom was already packing my brothers sisters things, I decided to stay with my dad, So at that time it was just my dad and I. And that was my main challenge, choosing either the women that was raising me all my life since my dad left us, or the man who had left us and get to know him and say “I have my dad again”.It was a lot to juggle
