The Times of My Life: Periodization
Every human being has a story to tell whether it be a dull one or a fascinating one, and my story is not particularly remarkable, but a story nonetheless. There are certain periods in life that can be summed up into a couple words; however, the full story would most likely not be included in those couple of words.

Eventually, I also had the opportunity to finally meet my half-brother when he moved to the United States after having grown up in a different country. He was ten years older than me and would have a hard time adjusting to a new lifestyle with my family.

My parents thought of this as a great opportunity and immediately accepted their help. This would be when my brother, unfortunately, decided to move out of the house and travel to New York with my aunt and her family. She had
