Caroline Taylor moved from Minnesota to Kentucky in 8th grade, which helped her become more outgoing and confident. Before the move, she was shy and hesitant to meet new people. However, after adjusting to her new home in Kentucky, she gained confidence in reaching out to others and making new friends. The experience of adapting to a major life change at a young age made future transitions, like starting university, less daunting for her.
