3.  When I was 7 I moved to Aurora Colorado. I attended Dalton elementary school K- 5…Sparky was our mascot, I lived in Colorado for 6 (almost 7) years.

4. I went to 3 different middle schools First I went to Columbia middle school in Aurora Colorado for half of 6 th grade. Our mascot was the cougar. Then I moved to Virginia beach and went to Larkspur middle school for the second half of 6 th grade. Finally I went to Kempsville Middle School from 7 th grade to 8 th grade

5.  The move was stressful no doubt. I had a lot of mixed emotions about moving. On the one hand I was leaving the home id known for the past 6 years. On the other hand I was going to a new place not knowing what my future may hold there.

6. I am currently a Kempsville High School freshman. Its fun at times but other times its hard work. Juggling friends and school work can be a challenge sometimes. But this is where people meet lifetime friends. I've already met mine.

7.  Now I don’t really regret the move because I have met people who have changed my life for the better if I never moved I would’ve never met them at all….so it didn’t turn out as such a bad thing

8.  My best friend has definitely changed my life. I’ve only known her for 3 years but it seems like forever. She has always been there for me no matter what. We have so much fun together we tell each other how it really is. She has changed my life for the better

9.  My parents have taught me how to take care of myself and how to make good decisions on my own. They let me make my own mistakes and learn from them. I couldn’t ask for better parents

10.  My goal was originally to become a vet so I could help animals, but a recent experience has kind of made me change my mind. Now I’m thinking of becoming a teacher but I’m not really sure about it.
