Coping With Change
Coping With Change Coping with change is different for everyone, and in every situation. For many people it's feeling sorry or sad about what happened. For others they may be excited, proud, and feeling good about themselves and others. Me personally depending on the situation I will cope with change pretty well. In my life I have had to cope with many changes, when my parents decided to break up and get a divorce. I was hurt but I was really to young to let it effects me, I had to change my life a little I would only get to see my parents every other month as I went back and forth between each of their houses. Even through out the schools years I have had to cope with many changes from year to year, and I get older I have to experience change. I try and take change well I take it open minded and look to the future. My own preference with coping with change is to expect the worse but hope for the best, because then you can never be disappointed.

The biggest change I have every experienced was when I was about twelve and I moved from Presque Isle, Maine to Washington. We had to start over we had to live with family for the first time my family had to depend on some one for a place to live, we soon found our own place that we rented to for a while it was hard do to lack of income. My family and I all had to make change it our everyday life because we were never use to this, because when I was little we always had money. Christmas was shady for a few years, and my parents worked everyday and at times worked two jobs to provide, for us. My brother and I had to lose many thing we use to get but it was worth it, we just excepted any thing happily knowing our parents really love us to even change their life that much. I am pretty use to coping with change since I have lived through many situations good, bad, and difficult for

    A really big change in my life was definitely moving from Poland to America. I moved here when I was 16 years old, and it made a really big change for me, because I came to the different country, by myself, without anybody who I knew, and I started completely different life. I was by myself. At first it was hard for me, because I missed my family, and being taken care of. But then I realized that there is nobody who will take care of me, and I should never expect anyone to. I understood that my home is where I am. Also, my big passion since I was little was art. In kindergarten, elementary and middle school I took part in many theatre competition, later on I started participating painting and drawing contest. Last year I decided to focus on physics and become a scientist. I never liked math and physics before, but I just recently I found it interesting, so I make a decision to be good at it. Now, I’m putting a lot of effort on archiving that goal.…

    Fear of change is a common human behavior because it's something we don't expect and may make us uncomfortable. Changing schools and moving to a new house all at the same time was overwhelming for me. The fear of moving to a new place was stuck in my mind, I couldn't stop thinking, "how will I make new friends? My main fear was being introduced into a whole new environment with different people and different customs.

    I have had several challenges while growing up but one significant challenge that stood out to me more than the others was moving away far from my birthplace and then later moving back. Where I was raised in and where I grew up in. I hadve grown to love this city called Santa Ana where all my memories, friends, and family were, and it was difficult to leave.. It was would be hard for me to go out and communicate with others, socialize in the real world. I had to say many goodbyes to all my friends and family wondering if I'll ever see them again. It was quite far where I ended up moving to. It was a new start, a fresh start almost like a new beginning. To me it meant having to go to a new school, having to make new friends, having to accustom myself to this city where I moved to and realize it's not the same place where I had once grownew up in.…

    Change can be difficult part of a person’s life, oftentimes quite harrowing. Some may find change to be a good thing. I, on the other hand, find it to be more than former. This great change in my life was when my family was forced to move to a new city when I was fourteen. Not only, was I facing a great change, but it would be a change that would affect me for the rest of my life. When I found out that we were moving, I was frightened. I was going to lose all of my friends. I was going to have to start over. That was scary. Being the new kid in school is awful and upsetting, and I was not looking forward to that at all. Already being a shy person who has trouble connecting with new people, being forced to start at a new school was absolutely terrifying.…
