Author’s Note: Many people move multiple times in their childhood. Not me. Moving has never really been something my family has ever talked about or considered. Maybe I will move someday, but I am am undecided about my feelings on moving. There are many pros and cons of moving.

I have lived in Pewaukee for my entire life. Many people move two or even more times in their lifetime, but not me. I don’t know if it’s just that we don’t have the money to move or if it’s the fact that my parents really like where we live and our house we live in. Either way I’ve never moved houses or cities.

Sometimes I think to myself that it’s a good thing that I’ve never moved or switched schools, that this way is easier, because I don’t have to meet new friends and leave old friends behind and go to a different school. I think about how much some people wish that they could just stay in one place and how much they would give to be like me.

    Other times I think that I wish I could move just once. Maybe I’d have a different life wherever I would move to. Who knows, I could be the best person on the basketball team or the volleyball team. Without change I feel like I’m tied down to only thinking of how things are now, not comparing life in different places I’ve been.
    Someday I want to travel around the US and find a place where I feel like I fit in. Maybe that will bring me back to Pewaukee or maybe that will take me across the US. I feel like I will never know my options till I try and see what It’s like to live in someplace other than Pewaukee.
