As a young child, my mother often moved from place to place and city to city. I lived in over 3 cities throughout childhood and attended many schools throughout that time. As a result of moving so much I was rarely able to establish close connections and childhood friendships. However, through God’s grace he has blessed my adult life so that I see things differently and am able to handle stressful situations a lot easier. When I transitioned to college I believe I had less homesickness than others because I viewed my new college dorm as my home. I had no problems joining organizations and taking leadership positions in the organizations. After college, I moved back to my hometown to pursue an additional degree in business. I believe that the determination I had as a young child, made it possible for me to continue focusing on my goals. After graduate school, I relocated to another city to get a fresh start and new experiences. I have sense then relocated 2 additional times. I am sure my childhood contributes to my feelings of boredom and restlessness that creep up on my when I have been in a place too long. In my attempt to work on this restlessness, I made a goal to stick with a job and residence for 5 years. I found a job in a different city close to my own time, but bigger. I worked at a company for 5 years. During this time, I purchased two homes. One home is the beginning of my investment endeavors and the other is my primary place of living. I appreciate the lessons I have learned from my childhood, they have made me strong in spirit and I adapt well to change.
