very rough draft

In September of 1997 Kris Carino moved out of California and into Texas. She moved here because her dad got a job and her mom was tired of living there. “There’s a lot more trees here,” she says, “it’s prettier.” She likes both places but since she still has family in California she visits often, “I have grandparents and cousins over there.” She doesn’t know which one she like better, but according to her the people are nicer here.
