The Best Summer of My Life!

Have you ever felt like you were waiting for something big to happen? It was like that for me, just doing my daily routine: school, homework, karate class, sleep. Everyday was the same and I was just a cog in the wheel of life. The summer I turned 15 was when it all changed.

1st week of June

You might think it a little strange, but my entire life fit into one backpack and a carry-on duffle. Leaving home for the entire summer at the age of 14 might terrify some, but I was ready. My first stop Montana. I was about to spend several weeks with a family that I didn't know all that well. I had met them at a couple karate tournaments and they invited me to come stay and train with them. Me, an only child, suddenly staying in a room with three sisters. Seven of us girls sharing one bathroom!

I am still excited!
