Moving Day-Personal Narrative
Moving Day The summer before my senior year was going to be the best one yet. Lying out in the hot summer air, going out with friends till one in the morning, sleepovers all week long, summer was going to be amazing! Not long into my summer vacation my mom had brought up the subject of us moving once again. It hadn’t really surprised me that she was bringing it up because I vividly remember her talking about it earlier in the year. She had been wanting to move for quite some time, always saying how nice it would be to get out of the city and into more of a country setting, perhaps to where my grandparents lived and some of my other close family. She spent the better part of the day discussing it with my brothers and me, and wanted to get our insight on the matter. Of course I didn’t want to, I didn’t want to leave my …show more content…
We got to do a lot of shopping and decorating rather than sleepovers and long nights out with the friends. School was just around the corner and I have never had to go into a new school as a teenager and try to make new friends, it was something that made me really nervous and I wasn’t too sure if it was something exciting to be experienced, I just thought if it was anything like my old high school I was not going to be excited. My plan was to go in and only have to take a few classes so I could try and avoid that whole making new friend’s part. I didn’t know how to make new friends; I’ve never had to make new ones so it was a lesson to be learned. My first day of school came quickly I tried my best to make some kind of excuse so I wouldn’t have to go. The school was so much different, it was tiny, one story high and a quarter of the class size of my old high school. I was used to climbing up three stories of stairs like I was climbing Mount Everest and being practically out of air by the time I reached the top. No doubt about it this was a whole new

    I dreaded the alarm that woke me up at 6:30 in the morning. It was as loud as a screaming toddler that could be heard for miles. I groggily got out of bed and got ready for my first day of school. It was a weird feeling not putting on a uniform like I had been for the past nine years, but I also enjoyed that freedom. The nervousness became more and more intense as I could closer and closer to campus. When we arrived, I got out of the car, and watched my dad drive off to go take my younger sister to school. There was no going back now; I had no other choice than to walk through those doors. I felt like my throat was in my stomach. I noticed some familiar faces, and I walked towards them. While I was approaching my friends, a senior, facing toward me, walked passed. He must have been at least six feet tall, which was incredibly intimidating for me at just over five feet. I was not used to the fact that I’d potentially have classes with these giants. Additionally, the array of new teachers, and having to learn all of their teaching styles and things they did or did not tolerate was hard in…

    Two years ago, on a cold Saturday morning, I prepared for my first ever track tryout. I took a shower, put on my clothes, and got into the car. On my way to practice, I felt strong physically, but I also had an undefined, jittery feeling about how the day was going to go.…

    Hola Diana, hope you are enjoying your week, and a happy easter to you too. Yes I saw those videos of the ice bridge collapsing , it must have been amazing to be there hearing all the noises of the ice craking and the thunderous sound of it falling into the lake, you wouldn't want to be in a fishing boat there when that crashed. Not looking forward to this saturday without the 60's show, and it will be sad to loose the people that can't make the sunday slot. I'll post this bit before it crashes again.…

    Moving to northern Wisconsin as a young girl was a scary and confusing time. Having been born in Chicago, all I knew was a big city, the crowds of people, the nonstop traffic and all the noises. My home, it was the only place I knew. How could my parents make a decision like this? How could they make me move to a place I had only visited once before -- but barely remembered? The sadness I felt was so overwhelming during that transition that I told myself that if I ever had a family, I would never make them move. As an adult, many years later, I look back and almost chuckle. My family and I have moved many times, for work or family and even adventure. Now as an adult, I push my children to find adventure in every move…

    I was distraught! I could not bear another drastic change in my life. I now, going into high school, had to attempt to make new friends. I came to Baltimore with a pessimistic attitude regarding making friends. I convinced myself that all the girls had their click of friends since elementary and middle school. Therefore, during my first year of high school, I ate lunch alone while catching up on work or went do the gym to shoot basketball hoops. I hated change and thought there was no point in trying to make the best of the situation and actually attempt to make friends. That year I focused solely on adjusting…

    “Everything will change…” was practically the only thing I could think of being a 13 year old girl with a firm friendship with her 16 year old sister. The summer of 2006 was when I discovered my mother was packing up her things and moving to Athens to work on her PhD in Psychology at the University of Georgia, while my 3 brothers, younger sister and I would be living at home with my dad. It did not bother me much at all when I found out my mom was moving for a temporary time to further her education, considering my parents are still married and she would only be living up there for two years. We would also get to visit her on the weekend, and she would also visit us on the weekends. Plus my mom and I do not get along well, so I figured I needed a break from her. On the other hand, I did care she was taking my big sister Amanda with her.…

    Tenth grade brought an end to that temporary comfort. My mother and stepfather decided to move us all to Georgia. Reluctance was most of what if felt. I was being asked to leave the friends and progress I was just beginning to make, but at that point there were no options but to follow. We moved just a day after my 16th birthday.…

    I created an avatar wearing a hoodie and comfortable sweat pants. I used the hoodie and sweats to represent that I like dressing comfortable and also to represent that I was born and raised in Chicago. When I was styling my face I made sure that my hair was black and my skin tone was a light brown to represent my Indian heritage. I chose my avatar to be reading because I love to read. It says true story and I like to believe that the books I read are a true story. In my other bitmoji it says “Saturday Night” and while I do love my saturday nights, I chose the bitmoji because in the background there is a city life scenery. This scenery represents my love for New York. One of my biggest dream - since I was five years old- is to live in New York…

    I had five classes: Ms. Tynes-Math, Mrs. Shows- Science, Mrs. Graham- Social Studies, Mrs. Seal- Reading, and Mrs. Allen-Writing. The problem with my new school was that I had heard so many bad things about it. People told my parents that I should not go there. I had no problem with going there. It was a predominantly African-American school. A week before I was meant to start, there was a mishap while my dad was trying to trim my hair causing him to have to shave my head. The opening day of school, I started off with very short hair and I was the new white kid at the school. I thought it was gonna be super hard to make new friends. I was honestly super scared to try to make friends. I found out very quickly that it was not as hard as it seemed. All I had to do was make a concerted effort. I stayed with those people all day, and quickly became friends with everyone I came in contact with. It helped shape the social aspect that I have today in the fact that I can talk to anyone. Meeting different people can help build character just like how bricks help build a…

    “Where are we going?” I asked my mom as I saw my home vanishing into thin air as I looked through the rear window of the car. “Why are we leaving?” When are we coming back? Where’s my dad? Where are we going? All these questions came into mind as I saw my hometown disappear. I closed my eyes, as my tears brushed down my cheeks wishing it was all a dream. I woke up to a new smell, to a new country, to a new city, to a new environment …. The feeling was just so unsatisfying. My mom explained to me that it was time for a change. Texas. Round Rock to be exact. The hardest part was learning a new language and a new culture. With time I knew I was going too master it, but as soon as I thought I had it all under control … School started…

    It was the summer after my freshman year at Rosemary High School. That summer had mostly been spent with my dad, step mom, step brothers (Monte and Quez), and brother (Rashid); Long nights of games, jokes, and laughter. I was having the time of my life. I’d never been around them for long periods of time, usually spending most of my time with my mother and sister. My dad loved that I was around so much and that he could see his “jae boo” more than usual. In the past he often told me to consider living with him for a little while, but I never thought anything about it. I loved the area I was in, the school I attended, and the friends I made in my area. My dad lived on the other side of town, it was an inconvenience.…

    As the school year went on I didn’t have the courage to tell my friends I was going to move. I was in denial that this was happening. Thinking about it just made it worse and eventually I told my friends that I knew since I was in kindergarten it was one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to do. They were sad to hear that I was leaving but happy I was only going three hours away. August finally came and it was time to load 13 years of my life into a semi truck. All of my belongings smushed and in boxes, it hit me at that moment that this was the last day in my home.…

    It was hard moving here, and starting over, especially considering the fact that it is my senior year in high school. Senior year is supposed to be the best, the year that everyone looks forward to since, well, forever. Being with friends that you've known forever, parties, senior benefits, etc. I was lucky, I knew a few people when I started school. I don't know what I would have done with out them. It takes me a while to warm up to people; I cant be myself until I feel comfortable with the people I'm with. Since no one knew me well, it was really difficult for me to open up. It definitely took a lot of getting used. The school, the people, the Nor*Cal slang, living with my dad, everything.…
