Personal Narrative: Moving To North Carolina
North Carolina

We finally moved to North Carolina and I was devastated. I felt like I had to leave behind all of the friends I had just started formulating deeper bonds with. I felt like I had to start over from scratch with making friends and I missed Khalif; and finding out that he contacted me the night before we moved and I missed his call, didn't make things any easier. I never told him I was moving when I found out. I figured since we wasn’t together anymore, why bother. He found out my last day of school because my best friend and I were crying, and another student went back and told him. He approached me before the day was over, and wanted to know why I didn’t tell him I was moving. After we talked, he gave me a hug. I didn’t expect him to try to contact me that night. I didn’t find out he had called until my family and I were well in NC and I checked the caller ID box. …show more content…
I was well in NC, starting a new life, and surely my mom was not about to be letting me call long distance to talk to “some boy.” North Carolina seemed even more country than Virginia though. I loathed being in NC when we first moved there. The only thing that I enjoyed when we first moved to NC is that my oldest brother was living there with his family. I enjoyed babysitting for my brother and his wife. I always got to eat out or get some clothes for

    The Adventure Of Life In Gwendolyn Brooks 'Eveline'

    I was at the time in a long time relationship with my then boyfriend. I regretfully inform you that I did not move away to the college of my dreams, due to the fact that I was already in the deep end of my relationship, as well as I lived with my mother. I could not move to a distant residence, due to the fact I was all my mother had. I do regret my prior decision on not reaching for my dreams, but at the end of the day, everything happens for a reason. Although I did not end up leaving for college, I did attend a culinary college here at home, and after two years of blood, sweat, child birth, and tears, I did graduate. I have had multiple experiences and have created many memories of which I am extremely cheerful has happened. If I decided not to stay, I would have lost the opportunity to not meet the marvelous people I did at school and the many friendships I still have now to this day. I may not have accepted the opportunity to chase my dream and attend my ideal college, but at the end of the day, I still received an education, stayed behind for my relationship and family, and have met marvelous people and created beautiful friendships and memories along the…

    Personal Narrative: My Life In New England

    In 1752 I was a seventeen year old destitute living in Scotland, Ireland. I had no real skill-trade or education, but with high ambitions to learn and become a collective dependant I would earn a stable lively-hood in one of the New World colonies. I suffered losses of loved who fell sick and died with only a few remaining that were as impoverished as myself. I feared there would be no prospect of a better life in Scotland and contracted myself as an indentured servant for passage to the New World colonies. Along with many others I boarded a New World merchant ship that specialized in the trade of textiles and clothing. In exchange for travel, food, and decent health, I was sold for profit to proprietors in the New World. The voyage to New…

    Personal Narrative: My Carolina Story

    My Carolina story is one of perseverance. I grew up in a prominently white and underrepresented area, being a multicultural male it was very hard to fit in. However, with the backing of family and friends I was able to overcome many of the obstacles that plagued my area. Through hard work and dedication, I believe that anything is possible. It can be said that as long as you believe in yourself nothing is out of reach. For me this was the key to my success, however, upon applying to UNC-CH I was waitlisted. This greatly hurt my confidence as I felt as if I wasn't smart enough, but to my surprise I made it off the waiting list and enrolled in UNC. Nevertheless, the effects of being waitlisted lingered over me a long period of time. I found myself contemplating whether I was smart enough to attend such a prestigious university. Although soon enough I began to get involved on campus and through this I realized UNC was the best place for me and that no matter what I could make it at a esteemed university. The diversity that UNC offers was a vital key in helping to understand my place, I heard that "diversity creates identity" and this has been one of the strongest statements I have ever heard. My Carolina story is one of struggle and perseverance to fit in, yet, with hope and hard work you can accomplish anything.…

    Personal Narrative: Moving From Tennessee To Nebraska

    Did you know I recently moved from Tennessee to Nebraska? When I moved to Nebraska, everyone told me how flat Nebraska was, how it was full of fields. In my mind I was reminded of Tennessee with its family owned farms that could stretch for several acres.

    Personal Narrative: Moving To NC

    Before I moved to NC , I lived out west. The demographic and food delicacies are far different than here in the south. My taste aversion was fully loaded hot dog with chili and slaw. I never heard of that type of combination on a hot dog. I was raised eating a hot dog with just ketchup, mustard, relish and sometimes onions. I have lived in NC for about 23 years. I finally tried eating a hot dog Carolina style and love it. Since I have gluten allergy, I skip the bun and still eat it that way.…

    Personal Narrative: Moving From North Carolina To California

    Moving is hard, especially when you go from North Carolina to California. My mom said i’ll be alright so did my brother but now I don't know. I heard great things about Pescadero, California like how few tourist are there, the open beaches and hiking spot. But isn’t that what all apartments say to get you to pack and come running to “The Golden State”. All I can think about is turning back and running to Mama’s arm and crying on my annoying brother Luther’s shoulder.…

    Personal Narrative: Moving To Kansas

    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…

    Personal Narrative: My Mission Trip To North Carolina

    The week that I had been dreading the whole summer was finally here. My dad was making me go on a week long mission trip with my youth group at my church to North Carolina. I didn’t have a problem with going to church, but I did not want to go on this trip. First of all, I only knew a few people from my youth group and definitely didn’t feel very comfortable around them. It was also tough to give up a week of my summer for this. Not only that, but this trip made me feel disconnected to everyone back home for an entire week. Because of all of these things, you could say I was a little uneasy heading into this week. Little did I know this trip would be a life changing moment for me. Now four years later, I’m dreading the fact this will be my last work camp I can attend. Because my dad was able to push me out of my comfort zone, I became closer in my faith, I grew as a person, became more involved in my youth group, and found a great group of friends.…
