Growing Out Of Missouri

The reasons for moving out of Missouri.

Growing Out Of Missouri

I have decided to move back to my home state of Vermont at the beginning of next month. There are many reasons for this decision in my life. The thought of moving back to Vermont has crossed my mind a few times over the past year. I feel as if I am backtracking in my life, but other times I know I am making a good decision for myself.

One of the main reasons for the move is the lack of finding a job for the next school year. I work in the school system and a newly certified teacher in Missouri. When that did not work out, I was content being a paraprofessional for another school year.

Another reason for moving is that I decided I could be a paraprofessional anywhere and I shouldn't limit myself based on where I certified myself. I have many positive impressions of Missouri but I know this is not where I want to be. I decided that I needed to make the jump now to move rather than later.

The final reason for my move is that many of my friends have left and I have no family in Missouri. However, I have met and still have many great friends that are like family to me. These people I am going to miss very much.

A final, final reason is that I need a place where I can grow and that I can feel like more myself. I feel like I grew so much since my experience in Missouri. However, I feel like I have grown as much as I can in the State that I am in. I need to leave to be able to mature and grow more.

If I had to do it again, I would not trade my experience of living in Missouri. It made me realize more what I want and who I want to be. Here are new adventures and new places.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
