Personal Narrative: Moving To New Jersey
One decision that I made with my family was to move to New Jersey from California. This was a huge decision in my life, I came to New Jersey when I was 8. We made the decision as a family. We had to move because my dad got a job offer from a good company in New Jersey. This was the one moment in my life that I had to think about everything and not just myself. This was the real first mature decision that I made in my life with my family. This decision changed my life for the good. This created a transformation because after I made that initial decision I started to make all my decisions with some maturity. This move has influenced my growth and maturity in many ways.

    Personal Narrative about moving from Virginia to New york

    When I moved to New York to live with my dad, my life and ethics took a major turn. Many things changed, from school, to sports, to even the way I dressed. The people are different, the culture is different, and the way people talked was even different. The reason these changes had to be made was because of the black population in Virginia, they were all very gangster, and the New York population were mainly white, not that I have a problem with blacks, but they were very rude and inconsiderate. I am not racist at all, just people there are ignorant. In Virginia where I used to live, it was considered the ghetto part of my town, so I had to look, and act the part. But in New York where I live now, it’s the total opposite, a much more civil and calm town. I had to make so many changes to my life to adjust to the way people live In New York compared to Virginia. Not only the people and the culture, but my family in New York has a completely different way of living, by that I mean how they look at things, what’s right and what’s wrong in their eyes (I moved from Virginia to New York in 2007, when I was around 12 years old, in 7th grade). After the move life went forward, I got better grades…

    Personal Narrative: Moving To Yorba Linda

    In the world of modern technology, filled with the internet, it is very easy for a person to manipulate their true character. These days it seems far too difficult to meet someone who truly expresses who they are in person. After moving to Yorba Linda in the seventh grade, I experienced this problem. School was about to start soon and after just moving in the area I didn't have anyone to talk to, I was lonely. I didn’t know what to do. And even worse, I was extremely shy. As the first day of school rolled around I decided to just stay calm and just listen to my teachers, but deep down I was nervous. The first few days went by fine, I didn’t talk to anyone or eat lunch with anyone but I didn’t have any problems. Of course, however, I knew I…

    Personal Narrative: My Decision To Move

    Being pulled from your roots.Trying to plant yourself in a new environment. The feeling was similar during the end of my sophomore year, when my family had to move to a new home. I come from a low-income six member family household; together my parents make an equivalent amount of what can feed one person. As a result, my family had to move quite frequently which was the most difficult of times, financially and personally. The decision to move came at a bad timing because the stress that comes with the end of the year like finals and studying. Having to move, unpack, and get used to a new routine, put a toll on me mentally and physically. I overcame this challenge by communicating with my family. Since my sister and I were still in high school,…

    I’m from the decent suburbs of interlocked communities that would be willing to help each other in time of need. I’m from the splash and whish below me as the scent of Ocean breeze carries me across the endless Golden Gate Bridge. I’m from the cheerful sound of conversation littering the atmosphere and giving joy to any Californian that comes across it. All the sorrowful yet friendly goodbyes helped my family and I overcome our fears of starting new lives in Virginia Beach.…

    Personal Narrative: My Experience Of Moving To New York

    I was born and raised in Jammu and Kashmir where strife between religious communities, terrorism, and lack of clean water and healthcare were part of the norm. I lived in a world where many people, like my grandparents, had to endure suffering because there weren't any available doctors or hospitals. The closest medical center, which so happened to be located quite a distance away, lacked doctors and medical staff, and as a result forced patients to amble in the hallways. In fact, almost all of these patients were transferred to another hospital because of the lack of resources to treat them.…

    I am moving out of my mom’s house today and into the upstairs apartment of my grandmothers. My cousin just moved out from there so I actually lucked out with that space.

I stepped onto the street, saw the butterflies fluttering through the gardens, which, I felt was similar to the butterflies fluttering inside me. However, excitement of a brand-new, different place was mixed in with my fear and nervousness.
