Change is Inevitable All throughout my life I have been asked this loaded question; “What do you want to be when you grow up?” At five, like any young girl, I wanted to be a princess.

Ever since I was a toddler I loved everything fish themed! ‘Rainbow Fish’, by Marcus Pfister, was one of my favorite children’s books and I even had a lot of Rainbow fish themed stuffed animals and toys. “Mom, can you read me Rainbow Fish again?” I said while I layed on my stomach with my face down on the pillow. “Ok Sweetie.”, My mom said with a smile on her face, probably for the 5th time that night.

There was a small group of trees right before Berkley Manor; bigger than a bush, but smaller than a forest. As we passed the group of trees, I noticed my mom sitting in her idling brownish-bronze Buick sedan sitting at the intersection of Berkley Manor and Bopp Road. I was curious because she usually doesn't do
