Personal Narrative: Moving Away
Moving on is easy but what you leave behind is what makes it hard. Once you get to a certain age in your life you know you have to move on sometime. I know times are hard but you have to push yourself toward what you really want in life even if it means moving away from what you love.

It felt like all the moving and packing took years to complete but it has only been a day and a half. Our family has a dog named taffy and sooner or later we were giving her to one of our closest friend, Cleo.

Us, human beings, we are flexible, able to adapt and survive. However, as we adapt to these changes, we can not let these changes compromise our beliefs and principles by which we abide and hold close to our hearts.…
