Everybody goes through changes. We grow older. We move to a different school or town. We even change friends. Why are some changes difficult? Macy says that packing all of your things is hard because they won't fit into the car. Phoebe says that you love the school and town so much that you don't want to leave it. Michaela says it is hard to move because you don't know anyone at the new place.
