It hit me like a ton of bricks! I couldn’t believe I was actually moving away from New York. During the last year of high school I had my sites set on to attend St. Johns University for college. When I found out I was moving to South Carolina it devastated me because I had to leave most of my family and friends. It ripped me apart emotionally and I was going to do everything in my power to try to stay. I guess I really had no chance to stay because I ended up here as soon as a graduated. I really wish I could of stayed in New York for college but I have to sacrifice to be successful.
I'm actually glad I moved down here because I feel less stressed and more relaxed than I was in New York. People down here are ten times nicer and I think I could fit in because that's how I was in New York unlike most of my friends. A lot of people up north stereotype people down here and think that everyone is the same down here. I'm glad I have a couple of friends that are really cool and like doing the same things that I like to do. Moving down here has made me a more polite person and it showed me how easy it is to make new friends and how fast I actually can meet new people. Yes, I miss New York but calling this place home isn't that bad after all.
