Personal Growth Story

This is my personal growth story that I can say defines me in a way.

Recently I moved to Florida from a small town in North New Jersey called Montclair. I had lived there for about 9 to 10 years and I had spent my elementary school and middle school days there. I had made a lot of friends there. I didn't think I'd make friends here but I was wrong. I thought that since me moving here was going to start a new chapter in my life, I tried to make friends as fast as I could and it worked really well. I didn't care who I'd be friends with. Just even one person would be good but I have some good friends here. Montclair was a nice place but it was sometimes dangerous in certain areas like how it was where I used to live. Parkland, is the complete opposite, It's shown itself to be very safe and there's very little of how it was in Montclair. This was difficult at first but I knew I could do it. The people here are completely different in a good way and although I miss New Jersey, I love Florida.

Above, are pictures of the town I used to live in. Montclair, New Jersey (founded in 1861) and I lived there for 9 years.
