I'm moving to Michigan

I went to visit my sister in Michigan one summer and the next thing I know my mom is calling to see if we can find a home to rent.  It was so exciting moving to Michigan but it required me to be brave. I had to be brave in my first attempt at public school!  I was just starting High  Schoo, my freshmen year!  Boy that getting lunch dependently thing can sure be tricky! I had to endure long walks to school with my brother till a friend helped us to explore being eligible for the school bus. Then I took my bravery skills to a whole new level when we moved to the other side of town and a new school again.  When my mom dropped the bomb, my sophomore year,  that she was moving back to Staten Island I begged to stay.  That was one of the things she considered my feelings in and let me stay at my sisters to finish school.  And when I wanted to give up and move back with my family, my sister, Mary, was brave for me and said "No, stay and finish!"   Thank God for older and wiser people who loved me!
