After the passing of my mom, I moved in with my aunt and uncle who had always lived about 10 minutes away. They had two daughters of their own, one about to graduate high school and the other a sophomore in high school. It was generous of them to take us in when they did, but it didn't feel like home. I wasn't comfortable at first and felt very on the outside. They had this tight-knit family, and I felt so much on the outside. They had this tight-knit family, and I felt so much on the outside. I knew they all loved me but I just didn't feel right. This experience helped make me the person I am today.
I met new friends in a new Girl Scout troupe, in a new elementary school. I became very outgoing and still have this quality today. Not only did I make new friends, but I gained a quick ability to adapt to a new environment. I learned how to live with two other girls, and how to make relationships with them; how to get along in a new environment and how to make myself comfortable. But to be honest, the most important thing I have gained from this experience is the idea of having pride in me, and the people I associate with. Being proud of the person I have become and not putting myself in shady situations, or around shady people, is the main thing my aunt and uncle have taught me. Because I associated with people with higher standards for themselves I have the confidence and ability to make good decisions in my life.
