Change can be difficult for someone my age, or any age really. At the beginning of the school year, I moved from Bentonville, Arkansas, to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, which came with all sorts of changes. Some of the challenges I faced included making new friends, adjusting to my new life in Broken Arrow, and finding my way and where I belong in a new place. Unfortunately, when I moved I realized how difficult making friends was, especially since I did not know a single person at Broken Arrow.

I have also found my way and connected through music recently, I have listened to new music that I would not have thought I would ever listen to a year ago. Music has led me in a direction to help me realize what kind of person I am, who I aspire to be, and has helped me conquer my fears. It is never easy to move away from friends, school, everything. It is not impossible, but it will get better and I feel like I have done a pretty good job. There will be hardships along the way, if it is making new friends, adjusting to a new life, or finding happiness and feeling accepted, but there is a way to get through it. Change is never effortless, it takes time and patience to transform into the person destined to
