Personal Narrative: Moving To My Family
When I was born, my family started to struggle with bills and payments. So we had to make a hard choice and to move from California all the way to Cresco. And I haven’t seen my family since I was a baby which, I have no memory of them and I haven’t seen them since we moved. I use to always think of my family or be listening to a song that reminds me of them. Then soon or later I started to cry and ask my mom about my family. And they would say “It takes time”.
We only talk, skype, and text to only certain family members. We don’t want to call them and bother them, because you could have called us and stayed in contact, but all these years have passed and they never bothered to call us.
In the book Bethany never knew about her family and

    Who could've thought moving states could cause such a change? I never knew it could… this much. As the for sale was ripped out of my yard, we returned back into my previous house. This was the day we moved to hot and big Texas. We hauled all our boxes, big and small, short and tall, into the moving truck. “Let's go,” my mom yelled. We started our journey to Texas, and I could already feel sorrow in my heart.…

    This happened when I first moved to Kansas. It was the middle of summer and there were no kids around close to my age so I was alone. First i named some roses that were in my front lawn and drew pictures with them of crappy looking rabbits because that was all I knew how to draw. my mom came home one day and I ran up to her and showed her the pictures, saying "And this one rosy drew, and this one Rosetta drew and this one I drew." when I was done my mom said clearly not understanding that they were not real "what house do your friends live in?" Like the dumb kid i was i responded "oh they don't have a house they live in our front yard." Extremely confused and probably creeped out my moms said "can i meet these friends?" It was then I told…

    As a child I have always wanted to help other people.When I was 8 my parents decided to separate. At the time, my mother decided to move my sister and I away from Chicago. My mother packed our luggage and decided to move us to Detroit. That wasnt the only time we moved, we moved four times while I was growing up, all over the country and even to another continent. Eventually we had to leave our mom in Nigeria and my sister and I went to Detroit. When we got to Detroit my aunt didn't hesitate to make us feel comfortable. It was just something about it,I still didn't feel right. I called my mother one day crying to her and explaining how we didn't like being there. After talking to her, I felt that it was time to go back to Chicago. I called my dad, (knowing I haven’t spoke/seen him for many years) and explained to him the situation on how we felt uncomfortable in Detroit.…

The person I once knew, Tammy, had gone missing until she found herself. The transition to a puny town from an immense city completely changed who I was. Let’s start from the beginning.…

    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…

    My family environment has influenced me a lot especially when my siblings were born. I am the oldest out of five, so I'm always look up to. I always had to make a good example and never show that I was scared. When my mom and stepdad had to work, I would take care of them until they came back while getting my schoolwork and practicing my instrument done too. I never really had a chance to be a kid, I always had to be a mother to my siblings. I would always wish for more time in the day for myself, Although watching them grow up from when they were small and started school for the first time made up for that loss time. I live up to a quote, "Be the master of your future, not the slave of your problems." My senior year I had to stop being…

    I am the youngest of six, I have four sisters and one brother, (my eldest sister 14 years older than me), and I don’t have much contact with neither of them, even though I tried for many years to uphold some kind of family feeling. I gave up four or five years ago, and I feel much better now because of it, even though I miss the thought of a family. However, in 2014 I “rediscovered” some of my cousins…

    I remember when they kicked us out. It was only a couple of weeks ago. We Indians were minding our own business when the troops first came. They dragged us out of our tents and sent us walking with only the clothes on our back. My family decided to go to the Oklahoma region along with our tribe. And so here we are, walking through forests, woods, and plains on The Trail of Tears, looking for our destination. We have been walking since, and our clothing can do nothing against the harsh rain, snow, and coldness.…

    One of the closes relationships that I am currently engaging in is with my boyfriend ST. We have been together for almost three years now, and most of the time we are 6000 miles apart. Yes, we are in a long distance relationship, he lives Xuzhou, China, and I go to school here in Seattle. During the span of three years, we have seen some hardships and struggles, and the experiences and memories we share are incalculable. There are times when I am overjoyed and filled with happiness, and other times the distance makes the loneliness so palpable that I am on the verge of giving up. Yet, no matter what happens, he has always been there for me, both physically and emotionally. He has shown me so much love and compassion through his actions and words, especially in moments of sadness and distress. Even though he is not always vocal about how he thinks of me, he offers self-verification and positive illusions that create a satisfying relationship.…

    I cannot say that my family has a vast American history of a 100+ years, but what I can say is that my family has grown a lot in the past 30+ years. We would not have migrated to the USA if it weren't for my aunt’s marriage. It was 1984 when the first member of my family, my aunt, came to the United States of America. From then on, the rest of my immediate family trickled into the United States of America, looking for a place to grow and expand their family lines. It wasn’t easy to get a stable household income and care for our family at the time, but paycheck to paycheck we managed to do it.…

    Though I didn’t spend the Family Day with my family due to schedule with conflict, I was still able to spend it with my friends. They are my second family. We have problems here and there but no matter how big or small that is, we just forget about and move on. They mean a lot to me. They are like the sisters I would love to be with. We enjoy being with each other, laugh about silly things, eat out from time to time, actually just spending time with each other inside or outside the school. My friends are there when I need them, though sometimes I feel a bit lonely, they still make up for it. Like what I said, we just forget about it and move on because we won’t get anything from holding onto the past.…
