Little known fact: in 2004, I moved and became a South Carolinian. Leaving PA was something I had always wanted to do and I had no intention of returning. Then something funny happened.
A goal got in the way.
I was going to put myself through college and, well, I was still considered an out-of-stater. That means school is twice as expensive. I had been admitted to Winthrop University, but I shelved that and came back to the bitter cold of Harrisburg. I worked a few months as a temp for the PA Dept. of Labor and Industry, went to HACC and eventually transferred out to IUP. If you know me, you know how that story ends.
Sometimes you have to give up something you want to get something else you want. That’s life.
(Don’t get me wrong, I still plan on moving out of PA someday – I’m not built for this weather.)
