Improved Essays
Have you ever thought you might not just live in one place like where you were born? Who knows I wouldn't be growing up there. Will I thought I was going to stay there forever, but it was not like that. Sometimes my thoughts come around saying what if I stay in California. Would everything would be the same or different.
