At that moment, so many thoughts were going through my head like, why? “WHAT!?” my sister and I said in unison. “Your mom and I were thinking about moving so we could save more money to do enjoyable family trips and your after school activities.” Then our realtor put our house on the market as a private listing, so only people within the same real estate company could tour our house. What I hated most about it was that sometimes we couldn’t go home right away from sports because someone was looking at our house, and we had to keep it really clean. We started to search for houses we prefered, but couldn’t find the right one. We then put an offer in for one that we liked,

    My experiences over the last six years living in NYC have shaped me into the approachable and compassionate person I am today. I have been immersed in a melting pot with many different culturally and economically diverse populations. These unique experiences have broadened my horizons and allowed me to gain valuable communication skills and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life.

I even traveled with the organization Medlife, setting up a medical clinic to provide basic medical care and education to people in the poor and underserved communities surrounding Lima, Peru.…

As the car window rolled up, I put a hand to my forehead and glanced up at the top of the trees.…
