Where in this World am I?



Where in this World am I? 

Where in the heck am I that is a great question. Wish it was an easy answer. This is the third time I have started this blog post. Well let’s see if I can get figured out where I am. I asked my mom for help figuring out where I was and she replied with a sarcastic answer “You don’t know where you are? LOL” my thoughts on that was thanks for the help mom. Well at this moment I am sitting in Mr. Thompson’s room listening to all the seventh graders talking in the background and thinking how they are all going to love this assignment when they are seniors. I don’t have any idea where I am at. But let’s try to get to the point where am I really at right now in my life. I am from a loving family, a great church, great friends and a bright future.
Well I guess maybe I should start from the beginning I was born in Northeast Colorado so really that is where I am from I spent the first ten years of my life there. That is where all my family is so that is always been home to me. When I was ten we moved to Phillip, Nebraska I then started to attend Aurora Public School.  I grew up in small towns; I don’t think I would even know how to live in a big city. I have spent most of my life surrounded by corn fields and dirt roads.
Life in Nebraska, well I have been here eight years, Nebraska has became my second home, I have a large adopted family here, Nebraska has shaped me a lot it is strange to think how different my life would be if I had never moved to Nebraska. If it were not for me moving to Nebraska I would have never have meet my best friend, friends, class mates, and teachers and other adults in my life that have made an impact on the person I am today. I would have never spent my summer breaks walking threw a corn field. My parents have always made Nebraska feel like a home.  But whenever my mom or dad says we are going home for the weekend that does not mean our house here in Nebraska they mean my grandma’s house back in Colorado.
In less than six months I will be walking across the stage in the Aurora, graduating from Aurora High School, this walk is going to be one of the most important ones I take in my life. Because when I walk across that stage I will be walking away from the school, friends, hallways, classrooms, and teachers that have been where I have spent the last four years. With graduation I will not only be walking away from my friends and school, but I will be leaving my parents house and moving away from what has been home to me for the last eight years. But I will be starting a new chapter in my life the one that actually means something not just the high school years of drama.
 After graduation I will be moving back to my home, Northeast Colorado where I will be attending Northeastern Junior College, NJC will be where I am at for the next two years of my life. Although I know many people in Colorado and I will extended family there, and I will also have a great support system close to me. It is going to be hard to be living away from my mom, dad, and brother.
Colorado is definitely my home when I am there I feel so comfortable and at peace. I guess that could be why I have chosen to move back there after graduation in May. Colorado is definitely my future home it is where I feel like I am even if I am living in Nebraska now, and that Nebraska has made a large impact on me. Colorado will always be my home so it is where I feel like I am in this world. Don’t get me wrong I would not change the past eight years for anything but it is time for me to finally go back to where my heart is in this world. Don’t get me wrong I will miss people from Nebraska really bad once I move back to Colorado but I will be back a lot to see my parents and all the friends and adopted family that will be left here.
Well I hope I answered the question I hope so at least.

  1. Kelsey,

    So, you do know where you are!! I did want you to think about the places you lived and you did just that. I am sure that it will be great to go back to Colorado, but hey, if that doesn't work out, you know that Nebraska can be your home and "place" once again. I thought the comment from your mom was pretty funny. :)
