Pack your things...
It was the beginning of my high school freshman year when my parents told my sister and I that they wanted to move to North Carolina. My sister and I had the last word as to whether or not we wanted to leave. Unfortunately, it was 3 against one because my sister wanted to move as well. I had to leave behind my family, friends, and my home that I'd lived in for 11 years behind. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. -
The New President
President Donald Trump was elected as President in 2017. It was a very upsetting time for my family and I. In our opinion, Trump should have never even been considered to be President.
