"Choosing" This essay is based on my decision between living with my Mother or my Father.

The choices as they were, were either staying with my mom, or moving to my dad's. I weighed my options carefully, thinking of the consequences. As the day drew to a close, I packed my things. I was moving. My mom was devastated, my dad was ecstatic, and I guess I could say I was pretty excited. Unfortunately, the Friend of the Court had to make the final decision but my choice and opinion helped …

…of me. Now that I live in Berkley there is still a little discomfort between me and my mother, not much. I am still allowed to go to her house and I see my friends every three or four weeks. I've met a lot of cool people down here and made a lot of new friends. I've finally done what I've wanted to do for a long time and I'm very happy with my decision.
