An Experience in My Lfe
An Experience in My Life December 31, 2004, while everyone else was celebrating New Year’s, my family and I were moving from one city to another. It was hard for me to move another city because I was leaving behind the town where I was born and all my friends. This was one of the biggest impacts that I have experience in my life. Moving from one town to another was like moving to another world where I did not know anyone. But the hardest part of moving for me was moving to another school where I did not know anyone and I did not know what to expect. Moving from a place I grew up and lived my whole life was really difficult to adapt to the new place. The sun shined on my face and I opened my eyes. It was my first time waking up in the new town and everything felt so awkward. I moved from my home town Watsonville CA to another little town not that far but very different called Hollister CA .I felt like going out and do the everyday stuff I used to do go to like go to a little bakery that was next to the house where I used to live. When I went outside everything was different it felt like if I was in a different world. Some of the difficult things were adapting for example, when we wanted to go to a store we had to search where they were located and carefully find them so we could find our way back home. The first day was the hardest day of a lot to come. I missed my old town and felt like I didn’t belong to the new place. I lived in my home town for 13 years so I missed every little thing about it. I wanted to move back where I felt home was I felt everything was not the same and in my eyes everything was ugly in my new home. I became depressed and despreate to move back to my home town but my parents did not pay attention to me I was a 14 years old. The days passed and the first day in a new school came for me. I hadn’t felt more nervous in my life than that day. I was in the 8th grade year; it was a new year and a new school for me. In my first class I

    I was fully optimistic that the day would go well, but it did not fall in the plan that I believed it would. It was the same routine in a new environment. My first day at Larned High School started like every first day before me. The principal, Mr. Langdon, gathered all the students and welcomed us into a new school year. The speech as long but informational. It was a familiar speech that I had heard every first day of school. Unfortunately, this familiarity would end, and now I was stuck roaming the halls in a new school looking for my first class.…

    I woke with a start, my alarm clock screaming at me to get up before the sun. I slid myself out of bed, groggily dodging the mountains of boxes precariously placed about my room. I truly believe that I was not ready for such a big move, or what it would do to me as a freshly graduated 6th grader. I avoided everyone on that too-early morning, not quite brave enough to say goodbye. I was feeling some odd mixture of excitement and distress because I was excited to see me mom again after 3 months, but was I really prepared to say goodbye to everything else? How long would it be until I saw my dad or brothers? My whole other half of my family? All these thoughts raced tirelessly in my head as I dressed, ate, and slowly came to my senses. The last of what my grandpa and I could fit in the tiny silver car had been crammed into every last crevice. I valiantly fought back tears as I hugged my dad and forced myself onto the tan leather seat of my grandpa’s Miata. I strapped myself in for what I didn’t realize would be the ride of a lifetime.…

    I moved to Alabama from Texas at the beginning of my 6th grade year. The day before leaving, my best friend since kindergarten came over and stayed the night with me, dreading falling asleep and waking up to a nightmare of having to say goodbye. The morning came and so did the tears, I had packed up my entire life, said goodbye to all my family, friends, my house, and even my dad. How was I, an insecure, and VERY shy little girl supposed to just leave everything I knew and loved and start all the way over when my life was just getting started? It was a long 12 hour drive from Dallas, Texas, to little town Guntersville, Alabama and it gave me a long time to pity myself, hate my mom for moving me, get over the hate and be excited, and then be upset all over again. Alabama. Why Alabama? We had a choice, Alabama or Florida, and we chose here??? Me being a stubborn, bratty, over dramatic pre-teen, I just couldn’t wrap my head around it. I thought the world was ending.…

    Moving from Michigan to Florida in March of 2006: My dad was forced to leave Michigan to find work, and our cross-country move was immediately preceded by the succumbing of my grandfather to brain cancer.

    My first day was an okay day; there weren't so many kids there because the senior’s juniors and sophomores didn't have school that day. My first thought about school was that, I didn't want school to start yet because it was still summer. I was a little nervous at first but when I got there I was fine. I went to all my classes and I thought wow this is going to be hard. I got lost a couple of times because it was a big school and I was new. Then the day after that everybody was here at school and it was very crowed I could barely get to class on time. The first week of high school was pretty easy because we didn’t have a lot to do.…

    I was just ten when my parents told me that my dad got a new job and that we had to move from New York to Georgia. At that moment millions of thoughts rushed into my mind. I didn't want to move. I had a lot of friends and family here, I was on a little league team, everything is great here, and I didn't like the idea of leaving that all behind. I didn't even know where Georgia was. But I knew I had no choice, so that last day of school I said my goodbyes to my friends and teachers with sadness in my heart, knowing I wouldn't see them again next year. I got home, packed everything, and closed the door of the empty house. We drove thirteen hours to our new home. During those thirteen hours of sleeping and staring out the window, a mix of sadness…

    I moved into my home when I was about 4. They house we used to live in was going to be too small once me and my sister, Mira, got older. I was very sad that we were leaving the house I had lived in my whole life. I had many fond memories for it, such as my dad building a playing structure for me and my sister. I remember thinking that I had a say in which house we were going to buy, and I thought that I had a part in making such an important decision, which I know now is preposterous, but I felt proud to be making choices. I remember missing my old house, with the play house that my dad made, and the stairs up to my bedroom, which seemed so tall. This new house had no stairs. I remember meeting our new neighbors, Manny, who really like vintage pinball machines…

    I was so excited that I could hardly sleep. I spent all the night taking my new colorful school stuff out of my small pinky backpack and returning them in. I checked them billion times, smiling from ear to ear. It was 7:30 am and I was completely awake for my first day of first year of school. After eagerly wearing my first uniform, I bounced about in happiness. I could not keep still as my mother was brushing my curly black hair. She asked me if I was excited about going to school and I nodded and chuckled gleefully. scared and I extremely assured her that there was nothing to be scared of. I remember myself sitting by one of the living room windows impatiently waiting for the school bus. " The yellow bus is outside" I cried in delight. On the journey to the school, I was whistling and humming some of my mother’s favorite songs.…

    Oh gosh a new school, a new year. I never liked this moving back and forth thing every time Dad gets a new job. There is no point in making friends, but this year will be different I thought, as I waited for the bus to arrive. I started to see the ugly mustard yellow bus approach me. As the door to the bus opened, the smell of damp, wet towels that have been sitting in a pile for weeks on end ,and overly sweet perfume punched me in the face. “Maby this year won't be so different after all,” I thought as the bus doors opened. Ridgewood High I thought a new beginning, but I ran to my first class, honors calculus. I was scared to approach anyone based on my looks. I have dark brown hair, dorky square glasses that are too big on me that I…
