As I walked out of my mom’s house for the last time, I knew that I would never see her again. Leaving her life for four years was the hardest thing for me to do. Not ever seeing my mom again was a bad situation, but it turned into a good one because it made me grow up, gave me better opportunities, and showed me my mom’s true colors.

My dad picked me up in the front of my mom’s house.As I gave my mom a hug and a kiss, tears rolled down my cheek. Finally we left and were on the road to Virginia Beach. The whole trip I asked the dumbest questions and I did not mean anything by them. But, for the first time I got yelled at for it. My dad told me that I was too old to be talking like that and that I had to grow up. It really hurt my feelings, but it made me want to grow up.

When I got to Virginia Beach I tried calling my mom every day, but every time I called, she did not answer. I even tried to email her, but she did not email me back. From then on I thought that there was something wrong with me, like I was not good enough for her. But, I finally realized that there was nothing wrong with me, there was really something wrong with my mom though. It took me three years to come up with this realization, but from that day on I saw my mom’s true colors.

A few years had pasted and I was finally in high school. I knew I had to find out what I wanted to do for the rest of my life and I knew it would have to be something that had to do with cooking. In North Carolina there was nothing that could help me with cooking, but here in Virginia Beach I found votec. I applied and waited a long time. At one point I even thought that I did not get in, but finally I got accepted. This was an opportunity that I could never get in North Carolina.

As of today, I look back on my one bad situation with my mom and remember that it made my life better in the end. It is like the domino effect, once someone knocks down the first one all the other ones fall in a nice pattern. Not ever seeing my mom again was a bad situation, but turned into a good one because it made me grow up, gave me better opportunities, and showed me my mom’s true colors.
