High Expectations
DaMario Jackson
Ever had high expectations for a big move? And when you moved you were highly disappointed of the place that you moved to? Well I have and it is when I moved to Tyler, Texas my junior year in highschool. I’m going to talk about how this is a life changing experience and what I experienced when I moved to Tyler,Texas
It was August 8th when were scheduled to get on a plane to Tyler, Texas. Texas seemed like a nice place to live. The town I moved too was pretty big it was bigger than Rockford.

I was lonely and quiet for most of the year the kids there seemed to have already established there friends and weren’t looking to make any new ones. But I just minded my own business I’ve met many people but it seemed they didn’t want to make any friends. It was very hard for me because most of my life I’ve known people and always had people to hang out with and talk to. It was very hard for me to move away from all my friends and family, one of the hardest things in my life. It was worse because I was already a
