Freshman Logan Mccaustland frequently finds himself moving from place to place, along with his mother, in order to keep up with his dad’s job. He is able to adapt to each new environment and make friends wherever he is. While moving may be difficult, Mccaustland understands that his father’s responsibilities mean that he can’t always be there, but appreciates him all the same.

“First time we moved I was in second grade, then the next time we moved I was in third grade and halfway through it.

It was only because of my dad’s job. He’s the manager of over 200 Leslie’s Pool Supply stores, so he kind of has to help out all around. Most of the time he’s not really at home. He’ll take flights and he’ll just be here and then he’ll be gone for a week and then he’ll be there and then he’ll be gone – it happens all the time.

First, we lived here. By here, I mean Sacramento. Then we moved down to the southern area of California. Then we moved to Arizona and then to Texas. We moved back to Arizona and then we moved to Georgia. [Finally] we moved back here. We’re not moving anymore, guaranteed.”
