The Essay
Текст на Статията
- For the summer of my 16th birthday, I was gifted with a trip to the Dominican Republic by my aunt. This was the first time I went on an airplane and left New York City and was the happiest moment of my teenage years.
- Arriving in New York City I was overflowing with emotions. Extremely excited to see everyone and show pictures of my first trip. Instead, I was immediately giving the choice to make a decision that would change my life for ever.
- I was given the option to move with my mom, her Boyfriend, and children in Pennsylvania or stay living in Brooklyn with my father, stepmom, and little sister. I've lived with my mother my whole life. My school, friends, family everything I knew was here.
- This was one of the biggest decisions I ever had to make. At the moment I was so devastated, Do I want to "start over" in a small community in Mount Poconos or do I want to leave my father behind?
- Although now I will be sharing a room, moving with my father allowed me to be a BIG SISTER, and that is a role I take very seriosly.
- I am extremely grateful that I was given the opportunity to decide my own future. I have 2 loving parents, 2 incredible bonus parents, 2 stepsisters, and 2 little sisters. Although my parent's relationship didn't work out, their co-parenting skills are unbreakable.
