When my parents moved us all down here I thought it was the end of the world. I spent all my time on WildBlue in Arkansas talking to my friends on instant messenger back in Texas and it didn’t take long for me to feel like things were moving on back home without me. The good news is that though I was really isolated at first it took a while but now I’m really starting to feel like I’m making friends and settling in here. I would venture to say I even like Arkansas! I am even considering applying to school in state but we’ll see about that – I may be putting the cart before the horse on that one. I like my school and the classes that are offered are actually much better here so I guess it’s just a matter of keeping up the right attitude and really doing what I need to do to fit in. There’s nothing wrong with moving, it’s just hard to accept at first when you’re a teenager.
