I feel like many things have changed me. My first move out of San Diego was at a bizarre time, rigt after my freshman year of high school. Having to adjust to FL amidst adolescent hormones and grief over my biological father's death from the effects of Agent Orange. Then having to switch high schools while in Florida. Ten moving away to AZ to complete high school. If I had any inkling to be a parent, I would try to see to it that my kids stayed at the same high school. I feel like my social growth was stunted due to so much moving.
I will say, though, for a while, things were good in FL. The very first day, four attractive neigbor girls in their swimwear greeted me at my family's door. We hung out for a while, but then my eccentricity I think proved too much. I dressed differently. I listened to way different music. I was a Unitarian, not a Christian. Etc. Lots of self-absorption all around.
Senior year of hig school changed me in its own way because I was at boarding school. It was an interesting experience, but I don't think I grew from it too well, sadly. Made me less dependent, tough.
Pennsylvania was a learning experience as well, due to things that are more appropriate for A69 (not what you'd think, tough).
