I am Felipe from

a quiet neighborhood with many homes and one apartment building awkwardly misplaced

To moving to a louder area with more apartments

I went from living right next to my school

To having to take a bus to go to my new school

from having best friends as neighbors  

To having neighbors I don’t even make eye contact with

I am from Birthday Parties with all my friends

To just a cake and family

from sleeping at night without fear

To having to lock my doors

From parks with an isolated groups of people

to different ethnicities interacting with each other

I went from a quiet shy kid

To becoming more outgoing

I am from Mountain View
