Changes
Challenges
I?ll never forget the day that I found out my parents were splitting
up. I was only five at the time, and I could not fully understand what had
happened, but I knew that things would never be the same. Throughout life,
one is faced with many challenges, whether they are for good or for bad.
One of the most difficult aspects of my life has been the aftermath of my
parents? divorce.
Since that day, my mother and I have moved around meeting new
faces and seeing new places. I have been challenged with going to brand new
schools and making new friends. The hardest part about meeting new people
is getting over the loss of old ones. Although it is very difficult leaving
behind old friends, this experience has helped me grow personally. Also, I
know that my old friends will always be there for me when I need them. In
addition to meeting new friends, I have been faced with the challenge of
creating a new identity each time we moved. Not knowing anyone is a bit of a
blessing because I had a clean slate with which to work. As a result, I have
been able to create an identity where I
