Although I now live on the other side of the United States, I grew up along the West Coast of the United States. I lived there for a full eighteen years, until I got a scholarship to the University of Colorado and decided that in order to pursue my education and my dreams, I was going to have to leave the place that I had always called home. I had thought that I would return to the West Coast after I graduated from college, but I ended up getting offered an amazing job on the East Coast during my last semester in college, and since there was no way I could turn down this offer, I had to move even farther away from home.
Fortunately, even though I don’t get to spend as much time there as I would like, I do get to fly home somewhat regularly to see my parents and other family members. Whenever I visit Los Angeles, I always grab a rental car at the airport so I can drive around and reminisce about all the things I used to do when I lived in that city.
