I was a fussy child who wanted everything on my terms. Being
the first child of the family has its advantages that everyone showers you with
so much love and affection. At quite at an early age I realized that all my wishes
were being fulfilled by my parents. All my whims and fancies were being met and
this made me very demanding. When I was
in class XI my father got transferred to another city but I did not want to go
as my friends were here in this city. I had no desire to go and relocate. Even
though it meant better job prospects for my father as we were to be transferred
to a big metro. I was adamant that I did not want to go and live in another
city. My father made up his mind that he would forgo his promotion and stay in
that very city so that my education is not disturbed. It was then that my
mother intervened and suggest that we go and spend a few days in the new city
and if I liked the place only then we would think of relocating. As it was
summer time and my school was closed for the summer holidays I gladly agreed. I
thought it would be a nice change for me as I had nothing much to do in my
holidays. So we embarked on a journey as tourists and landed in this big
metro. The next day morning I found tall skyscrapers and malls all around me.
The shopping malls were filled with fashionable clothes shoes and accessories that
I had never seen before in my life. I was fascinated by so many gyms and
dance class centers that were crowded with young people my age. Visit to this
city was an eye opener and I was enamored by this new lifestyle and the fast
pace of the city. My father took me to a school that was close to the place
that we were staying in. I found each classroom equipped with computers. They
were using modern teaching techniques that took classroom teaching to a new
level. I found the experience to be an
eye opener and I felt that studying in such a school can definitely help me
brighten my career prospects.
I found out so many activity centers where I could learn to
dance and sing and indulge in so many extra-curricular activities that I could
not even think of in our home town. Its not that I began to dislike my school or
my own city but instead what I saw in front of me was the opportunity to
relocate to this beautiful city and #StartANewLife. I began
to understand the benefits of relocation and by the time it was time for us to
go back I gave my father the consent to relocate and #StartANewLife in a bigger
city. As for my old friends I could always go back and visit then in the vacations
or better still call them to my new home in this new city and play the perfect
host to them.
