Ever since I was a baby my family has been moving….not the military, my dad works for IBM, and sets up programs….but when I was nine I moved to Dublin Ireland. Hands down that is still the most difficult thing that I have ever been through. To pick up everything and move to a different country, I can remember my mom and me crying everyday after school, because we missed home so much. Everyone in our neighborhood back home in Rochester Minnesota was so close and friendly…and frankly people in our town didn’t really like Americans and therefore were very standoffish to us….Although this was very difficult for us I have become such a stronger person. This probably because I had to learn to stand up for myself, my views and my culture at a very young age. I’ so thankful now that we moved because I feel that I learned so much, and I feel that I understand our world so much better now. I’m also glad to know that there are other places in this world other than Tucson, and Rochester.

totally jealous you get to see the world
I think that most other countries like americans for their money and little else. It sucks moving but I think the more you do it the easier it is to adjust to change in any aspect of your life. Did you get to experience the countryside much or did you shy away from the tuoristy thing?
We toured around alot...both the countryside of Ireland, france, scotland,and England. Which is another thing that I am so thankfull for, because had I not lived in Ireland I would have never got to travel so much!!
