A Narrative Essay About Moving To A New Place
In 2009 my parents had made a decision that was going to flip my world and everything I have ever known upside down. I lived in Tennessee with
my mother, sister, and grandmother from the time I was five until I was the age of nine. My father who had been living overseas in Japan for five
years had found a job that was going to bring us all back together as a family again. The only complication was that it was going to take me away
from my friends I had grown up with and from the only town I ever knew. I had a plethora of mixed feelings about the move. I was eager to go to a
new place and make new friends, but I was afraid because I was leaving my comfort zone and all the people I grew up with. I had such tight bonds
with all of my friends through sports, cub scouts, school and our parents that it made it difficult to say goodbye....show more content...
I began the fifth grade three days after I was all moved in and it was an extreme change. I went from having friends to not knowing a single person.
All of the kids had grown up together and had all their friends and I was an outsider seeking acceptance. I made a few friends and was off to a great
start, but then it all started to get rough. The kids I was trying to fit in with would not accept me and it baffled me. I started to get angry because my
parents had moved me down to Florida and I was having the worst time. I hoped it was going to get better, but unfortunately it started to get worse. For
some reason I just could not gain acceptance In my school. All through middle school, I only had one friend that really stuck with me through it all.
Everyone else excluded me and it was a tough time for me. I had friends on my travel baseball teams, but of course they all went to other schools. I
couldn't quite understand why I was so excluded by my peers in my school. I was no different then them in my

Personal Narrative About Moving
Can you imagine being pulled from the only place you have known and loved, and being placed in completely new surroundings? It is not the
easiest transition I can tell you that. I'm talking about moving, more specifically, the moment I found out. I was eight years old at the time. I
remember my parents coming in and breaking the news to me. Their reason was we simply could not afford to drive back and forth so much. We lived
in Peoria, Oklahoma and had been for roughly 7 years. So for most of my life I had lived here. My Dad worked for Pepsi at the time and also was the
Chief fireman for the Peoria Fire Department. My Mom worked at Galena's high school and because of this my sister and I went to school there. The
commute to work & school everyday...show more content...
Being made to go through the whole process of becoming friends was not what I wanted. I had a lot of friends at Galena and had been friends with
these kids since kindergarten. We had grown up together and I didn't want to leave them so soon. My mom told me Baxter was only about 10
minutes away so that took the ease off a little. I had two really good friends who I did everything with. I remember wondering if they would be sad,
or if I would get to see them anymore. The feeling of going to a new place and possibly not making any new friends frightened me. How long
would it take me to make new friends, if I made any? All the worrying was for nothing though. I remember exactly what happened when I made my
first friend at Baxter. I call to mind being anxious as I walked into my new classroom, feeling the glances of all my classmates. Thinking how
uncomfortable I felt as all the kids talked about their summers with their friends and all the fun they had, when suddenly I heard someone say hi. I
turned towards the voice and saw a small brown haired girl, who I would soon learn was Mallory. After learning each other's names, she then asked
me "Do you want to be friends?" and that's how my first friendship started. I made many new friends that day and felt all my worries soon drift away.
Though I didn't know how well making new friends would go, at the time it was a frightening thought for me. With

I tried thinking about my past experiences about moving. I guess, that time was the only time I became so worried. I usually don't care much even
though I'll be moving into a different town or family. I also wondered why I was not as happy as I should be. Beyond everything, it was my first
time to live with my mother. I remembered the seminar... who are going to live in a different country. I am happy after realizing that I am not alone.
Most of the kids there are first timers too. We talked about things that teenagers usually experience after leaving the Philippines. As expected the kids

Narrative About Moving
The day my parents told me and my siblings that we were moving back to the United States was one of the best and worst days in my life. When
you moving, there is always that balance of bitter and sweet. When you first hear it, you think of the new adventure that is to come. You think of your
new room, new environment, new school, but the reality of what moving means hasn't set in yet. When you have the chance to process, you feel like
there is a dark pit in your chest. You will no longer have the comfort of your friends, family, or anything that you take for granted in your current life.
The worst part of this feeling is knowing that there is nothing you can do about it. You start to feel guilty over feeling the excitement of moving, because

After that, I mostly just walked around with them, trying to remember some new words they used. Unfortunately, I was not able to continue my
journey to public humiliation, because my dad had some news to share with us. While yes, we lived in the United States, and yes, we went to
school here, we were not technically legal residents yet. Therefore, we had to fly back to Sweden to wait for our Visas, which we thought would
take a couple of days. It ended up taking two and a half weeks. We stayed at my grandparents house, but my dad did not want us to get back on
swedish time, so we stayed up until four o'clock in the morning and woke up at two o'clock in the afternoon. Our stay there would have been great,
except for the fact that I had the great idea of visiting my old school. When I walked up to the schoolyard, I felt tears pushing in my eyes. I walked
over to the classroom door I was so familiar with, took of my shoes, and walked into the classroom. I was greeted with cheers from the students, but
this only made it worse for me. "Astrid! Are you back?" Markus A., one of my former classmates called out. In the moment, I was so happy, so
relieved to be back, speaking my language with my

The car lost control: and the next thing I remember is waking up with the car on its roof and I was still strapped inside. "Are you okay?" a strange
woman asked me as I came to. The smell of burning rubber and blood still remain burned into my senses. In the early hours of April 23, 2006 on a
country road, forever, my life was changed at the age of 16. A typical night in my household it was not. My parents were typically around every
weekend and we did things as a family, this particular night they had a party to attend. Offering to pick them up after the party so neither of them had

Once home I locked myself in my room, I couldn't bear to face anyone. Grief and sadness filled the faces of the people I loved and cared about. It
was because of me. How could I cause so much pain in such a short time frame, and how could doing the right thing go so terribly, terribly wrong.
Guilt haunted me for so long after the accident. After days of solitude, I realized I could stay locked up forever. Day to day I lived as though I was
okay, I stayed strong for my friends and family. Even though I was dying inside. Not only from the guilt I felt, but also for all the pain I had in
losing my mom. I felt I wasn't allowed to show people that I was miserable, since I caused the accident. It was my fault she was gone. Even if
everyone around me insisted that it wasn't my fault and there is nothing I could have done. I let the grief consume me. Needing to break out of this
deep depression I had fallen into. I tried church, I tried consoling, and support groups, nothing seemed to work. It was then I was aware I lost the
one person who could have made me comprehend it wasn't my fault. The one person who would have made me feel like everything will be okay
again someday. The one person whose love was big enough to hold all my

When I was a little kid we lived in Alabama.My dad had a job that involved moving around a lot. When we first moved I didn't really like it, but I
was also going excited because we were going somewhere new. Through out my life till now I have lived in seven different places. I visited many
different towns and cities. I didn't always agree/love moving. So here's my story. I can remember siting in our green, four door truck with two
brothers and my parents. I was looking out of the tiny window. Watching all the cars and trucks roar by like race cars. Gazing at all the trees blend

My life has always revolved around moving and change. I mean it is understandable because I am a military brat. I can remember my first move it was
a drastic one. We went from California's cool winds to the snows of New York. It was a wonderful experience while it lasted, but than my dad came
back from deployment and we had to pack up our bags and leave.
When I was a little girl, moving never bothered me including the change that came with it. I would move somewhere and I would think of the fresh
start that I would get. Going to new schools weren't a big deal either because making friends was easy for me then. But when I entered the 8th grade I
noticed how difficult it was going to be starting high school somewhere I have never been. It

When I found out that my family and I were moving, I was shocked. I admit, when they had brought up the subject before I hadn't exactly denied
the idea, and I was actually okay with it. But I had no idea that it would actually happen. I knew that this change would be difficult, but I wasn't
aware of how much it would affect me. As I lay in bed that night I couldn't stop thinking about what was going to happen. I had never moved before,
and just the thought of it made me feel sick. I knew moving wasn't easy, but I wasn't ready for all the tension and hassle that came with it. All I could
think about was all the friendships I was leaving behind, the inside jokes and favorite teachers. Tears had started filling my eyes while I tried to blink

My stomach dropped when I realized it was my first day of eighth grade at a new school. I was more nervous that day than I could ever remember
being. While I was getting ready, I called my best friend and she made me feel better, offering me words of encouragement. As the clock changed
to 7:00 I hopped into the car, ignoring the nauseous feeling in my stomach. My parents dropped me off at the front of the school while butterflies
flew in my stomach. All I had wanted to do was run back into the car and slam the door shut, blocking out everything that was unfamiliar. But
instead I took a deep breath and pushed open the doors. Everything had been so different than my old school, and I was scared if I would fit in enough.
I walked down to the eighth grade hallway and another wave of dread washed over me. Everybody was in their groups, laughing and talking, just like I
would have been if I was still back at my old school. "Hi!" a girl grinned at me, reminding me of one of my old friends. "Hey." I replied back with a
small smile of my own. I put stuff in my locker, grabbed my schedule and headed to

made me slightly happier. When we returned to New Hampshire I made sure to not let anyone know that I was moving because I didn't want them to

Personal Narrative Essay About Moving
Nobody really likes to move. At least, I know I don't. We were living with my grandparents in Tashkent when I was in second grade. We moved into
our house in Manhattan when I was about 9 years old. Life was going great. I had lots of good friends that I had been around for a lot. I really liked
where we were living and I did not want to leave what I had always known.
My dad had a job that required him to travel around other places. Somehow the idea jumped into his head that he wanted to move. In the beginning, it
was just a crazy idea to me and I thought there was no way that we would ever move. As time went on, this idea became a harsh reality. I didn't want
to think about moving. I just kept telling myself that it was never going to happen. One day my dad came home and told us that we were going to
move to New York. I had never heard of New York before and assumed that it was a bad place to live. I didn't want to give it a chance. Once we had
bought our property and our house started to be built, there was no way to deny it; we were going to move.
It was going to be extremely hard to leave everything behind in my country and move to a new place. I had never moved in my...show more content...
I was upset at my parents for taking us to this new place that we knew nothing about. I let them know that I didn't like what they were doing by
how I acted. Every time the move came up in conversation I would pout and act angry, but there was no way to change the fact that we had moved.
Once we got here life started quickly. School began not to long after we moved, which didn't give me much time to make friends. The first week of
school felt like an eternity because I didn't know English and anyone. Then I started to make friends and feel more comfortable. After that everything
became normal. I forgot about how much I missed my country and started to enjoy living in New York with my new

Personal Narrative Essay About Moving
In the heat of summer 2011, I moved from small town Statesboro, Georgia to Columbia, South Carolina. I was only six at the time, so I hadn't really
thought much about moving to a new house, new school, or even a whole other state. In actual fact, I was mostly enthusiastic about moving. This was
a both positive and negative experience for my whole family. This was the year my whole life changed. "Wake up Jayne Mac," my mother called to
me from the living room. I hopped out of my bed and briskly got dressed. "Come on!" my mother shouted as I bolted past my brother's room and
raced outside to where the moving truck and my parents were standing. Suddenly, a white truck pulled up to our driveway. All of the sudden, my

"Are you ready to go?" my grandmother asked. Before I could answer, my brother and sister ran up to greet her. Afterwards around two or three
hours, me and two of my younger siblings left to Columbia with my grandmother. But, my parents and my youngest sister left a few hours after we
had left. After an exhausting and strenuous three hour car ride, we finally reached my grandmother's house. A few days later, my whole family and
my grandmother went out looking for houses to buy. My family saw numerous houses, some I enjoyed better than others. One house in particular
caught my eye. Not the house itself, but the fact that we would have to be homeschooled instead of going to a whole new school. Being six and all, I
was dreading the fact that I would have to go to school. Think about it, I was a six year–old that left my school and all of my friends in Georgia that
had to go to a whole other school in South Carolina with no friends or even people that I knew. Sadly, my parents didn't end up buying that particular
house. Although, I think that my parents wanted me to go to school. The house my parents chose needed some work and style. The room that I sleep
in now used to be an appalling shade of brown. The playroom used to

People often hear or maybe seen on the news of houses being broken into. We do our best to protect ourselves and our families from the unenviable

My daughter immediately began packing her stuff; she was going back to her Nana's house. After packing what I felt was important and securing
the backdoor as well as we could, we left and went back to my mom's house. The next day I called the owner and told him I was moving back
home. I felt defeated and taken advantage of. Not taken advantage of by the owner, but just in general, by life. I asked the two neighbors closest to
me if they had notice anyone around my place the day before, but no one saw anything. The elderly man that was normally sitting outside by his
fence was at the hospital with his wife all day. The male who lived directly next door stated he worked all night so he was sleeping the majority of
the day. So we packed what was left of our items and just like that we were back home, back in my childhood room. We were going back to where
we felt secure and protected. It was a short experience, but it showed me how looks can be deceiving and sometimes we don't always make the right
choices at the right time. I felt so vulnerable, but at the same time I felt I was meant to go through that situation so that I could appreciate what I had.

Moving from place to place can have a big impact on a child. Not being able to get comfortable and settled with the people around you. It causes
you to be shy and unusual around others. Living with my dad down in Dallas Texas moving from there to Newport News Virginia where my
mother lives was hard on me. Seeing my farther go away for a few years not knowing if he would ever show again. I did not stay in school for long
because my farther sent for me to come back and live with him down in Texas. This was very frustrating because I started to feel like I will never
get a chance to be settled down and have a normal life. Once I got to enrolled into my school I can't recall the name but I never took anything I did

Coming up from elementary and mid high school my older brother was nothing but a troublemaker. He always got in trouble and never did what he
was supposed to do. I never knew he was already giving me a repatriation as he went through high school. Everyone thought that I was just going to be

Three weeks later, school in elementary was starting. It was awkward for me to go to school, due to the reason of me being shy and still not used to

Essay About Moving Experience
The most impactful challenge that I have faced is moving away for the first time. When I was fifteen years old, my mother announced that we would
be moving from Compton, California to Desert Hot Springs, California. The house that my family and I resided in was passed down from my
great–grandmother and most of my family, including myself, grew up in that house. It was hard to take in because I was in the last quarter of my
sophomore year of high school, and I had already established my group of friends. Prior to moving, I vowed that at my new school, I wouldn't go out of
my way to make friends or join a clique. My principal priority was getting good grades and self–growth. When I started attending DHSHS, it was a

It didn't take long for me to catch on to the way things worked at this school; however, I still longed to be back home. Although I still get homesick
sometimes, I overcame my grief of moving by accepting the fact that I live out here and there is nothing that I can do about it until I graduate high
school. When I was attending Dominguez High School, my grades weren't good, and it wasn't because I didn't know how to do the work. It was
because I didn't want to do the work. When I started attending DHSHS, my grades improved tremendously because I was so focused on my
schoolwork and I took the initiative of communicating with my teachers. Instead of waiting for my teachers to remind me when something needed
to be done, I reminded myself and pushed myself to get it done. I have excelled so much academically and when I look at my transcripts, I notice the

The road was endless. Growing up, the scenery changed from the dry, sandy desert to the cool winds and sunny skies. As the landscape changed
through our car door, everything else stayed still. My life was constantly changing, and I hated it. Constantly moving around was what my family
did. We moved from state to state to be closer to my father, because his job required him to leave us for long periods of time. My childhood was
spent running down endless streets of neighborhoods that were only temporary. Homeschooling was also an effect of moving around so much. The
days were spent at home in a cozy little nook instead of a crowded hallway being pushed and shoved. There were seven of us. Each different ages, none

I didn't feel like I could find friends here like I had in Arkansas. I didn't want to start over again, to me it was like the ground beneath me was
crumbling and the longer I stayed in Texas the more it would fall apart. It wasn't until just a few weeks before school started that it truly did. One
late morning I woke up to the sounds of muffled voices coming from the inside of my shared closet. I dragged my heavy body off the hard
mattress that laid on the floor, still hazy from effects of sleep. Walking to the bathroom I heard the quieted voices of my both my sisters, they were
crying. I overheard a part of their conversation, they were talking about my oldest brother Alec. He had passed away the night before. Tears started
to rain down my cheeks and a lump formed in my throat as the thought of my big brother no longer being able to protect me from the world started
to seep into my mind. It hurt so much, I had always thought that he would always be there for me. I was used to people who had only been in my
life for a couple of years to leave me, but he was there for me since I could even remember. The constant changes that were made in my life made it
very easy for me to adapt to new surroundings, but it also made it hard to lose the things and people who were apart of my life for such a long time.

A Narrative Essay About Moving To A New Place

  • 1. A Narrative Essay About Moving To A New Place In 2009 my parents had made a decision that was going to flip my world and everything I have ever known upside down. I lived in Tennessee with my mother, sister, and grandmother from the time I was five until I was the age of nine. My father who had been living overseas in Japan for five years had found a job that was going to bring us all back together as a family again. The only complication was that it was going to take me away from my friends I had grown up with and from the only town I ever knew. I had a plethora of mixed feelings about the move. I was eager to go to a new place and make new friends, but I was afraid because I was leaving my comfort zone and all the people I grew up with. I had such tight bonds with all of my friends through sports, cub scouts, school and our parents that it made it difficult to say goodbye....show more content... I began the fifth grade three days after I was all moved in and it was an extreme change. I went from having friends to not knowing a single person. All of the kids had grown up together and had all their friends and I was an outsider seeking acceptance. I made a few friends and was off to a great start, but then it all started to get rough. The kids I was trying to fit in with would not accept me and it baffled me. I started to get angry because my parents had moved me down to Florida and I was having the worst time. I hoped it was going to get better, but unfortunately it started to get worse. For some reason I just could not gain acceptance In my school. All through middle school, I only had one friend that really stuck with me through it all. Everyone else excluded me and it was a tough time for me. I had friends on my travel baseball teams, but of course they all went to other schools. I couldn't quite understand why I was so excluded by my peers in my school. I was no different then them in my Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Personal Narrative About Moving Can you imagine being pulled from the only place you have known and loved, and being placed in completely new surroundings? It is not the easiest transition I can tell you that. I'm talking about moving, more specifically, the moment I found out. I was eight years old at the time. I remember my parents coming in and breaking the news to me. Their reason was we simply could not afford to drive back and forth so much. We lived in Peoria, Oklahoma and had been for roughly 7 years. So for most of my life I had lived here. My Dad worked for Pepsi at the time and also was the Chief fireman for the Peoria Fire Department. My Mom worked at Galena's high school and because of this my sister and I went to school there. The commute to work & school everyday...show more content... Being made to go through the whole process of becoming friends was not what I wanted. I had a lot of friends at Galena and had been friends with these kids since kindergarten. We had grown up together and I didn't want to leave them so soon. My mom told me Baxter was only about 10 minutes away so that took the ease off a little. I had two really good friends who I did everything with. I remember wondering if they would be sad, or if I would get to see them anymore. The feeling of going to a new place and possibly not making any new friends frightened me. How long would it take me to make new friends, if I made any? All the worrying was for nothing though. I remember exactly what happened when I made my first friend at Baxter. I call to mind being anxious as I walked into my new classroom, feeling the glances of all my classmates. Thinking how uncomfortable I felt as all the kids talked about their summers with their friends and all the fun they had, when suddenly I heard someone say hi. I turned towards the voice and saw a small brown haired girl, who I would soon learn was Mallory. After learning each other's names, she then asked me "Do you want to be friends?" and that's how my first friendship started. I made many new friends that day and felt all my worries soon drift away. Though I didn't know how well making new friends would go, at the time it was a frightening thought for me. With Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Personal Narrative Essay About Moving I tried thinking about my past experiences about moving. I guess, that time was the only time I became so worried. I usually don't care much even though I'll be moving into a different town or family. I also wondered why I was not as happy as I should be. Beyond everything, it was my first time to live with my mother. I remembered the seminar... who are going to live in a different country. I am happy after realizing that I am not alone. Most of the kids there are first timers too. We talked about things that teenagers usually experience after leaving the Philippines. As expected the kids who are interviewed all experienced home sick. I also remembered when they said that they felt like they were out of place. I wondered if I will also experience Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Narrative About Moving The day my parents told me and my siblings that we were moving back to the United States was one of the best and worst days in my life. When you moving, there is always that balance of bitter and sweet. When you first hear it, you think of the new adventure that is to come. You think of your new room, new environment, new school, but the reality of what moving means hasn't set in yet. When you have the chance to process, you feel like there is a dark pit in your chest. You will no longer have the comfort of your friends, family, or anything that you take for granted in your current life. The worst part of this feeling is knowing that there is nothing you can do about it. You start to feel guilty over feeling the excitement of moving, because ...show more content... After that, I mostly just walked around with them, trying to remember some new words they used. Unfortunately, I was not able to continue my journey to public humiliation, because my dad had some news to share with us. While yes, we lived in the United States, and yes, we went to school here, we were not technically legal residents yet. Therefore, we had to fly back to Sweden to wait for our Visas, which we thought would take a couple of days. It ended up taking two and a half weeks. We stayed at my grandparents house, but my dad did not want us to get back on swedish time, so we stayed up until four o'clock in the morning and woke up at two o'clock in the afternoon. Our stay there would have been great, except for the fact that I had the great idea of visiting my old school. When I walked up to the schoolyard, I felt tears pushing in my eyes. I walked over to the classroom door I was so familiar with, took of my shoes, and walked into the classroom. I was greeted with cheers from the students, but this only made it worse for me. "Astrid! Are you back?" Markus A., one of my former classmates called out. In the moment, I was so happy, so relieved to be back, speaking my language with my Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. Write A Narrative Essay About Moving Away The car lost control: and the next thing I remember is waking up with the car on its roof and I was still strapped inside. "Are you okay?" a strange woman asked me as I came to. The smell of burning rubber and blood still remain burned into my senses. In the early hours of April 23, 2006 on a country road, forever, my life was changed at the age of 16. A typical night in my household it was not. My parents were typically around every weekend and we did things as a family, this particular night they had a party to attend. Offering to pick them up after the party so neither of them had to worry about driving home, as I was 16. Eleven thirty the phone rang for me to pick them up. At this moment, I had no idea this was going to turn into the...show more content... Once home I locked myself in my room, I couldn't bear to face anyone. Grief and sadness filled the faces of the people I loved and cared about. It was because of me. How could I cause so much pain in such a short time frame, and how could doing the right thing go so terribly, terribly wrong. Guilt haunted me for so long after the accident. After days of solitude, I realized I could stay locked up forever. Day to day I lived as though I was okay, I stayed strong for my friends and family. Even though I was dying inside. Not only from the guilt I felt, but also for all the pain I had in losing my mom. I felt I wasn't allowed to show people that I was miserable, since I caused the accident. It was my fault she was gone. Even if everyone around me insisted that it wasn't my fault and there is nothing I could have done. I let the grief consume me. Needing to break out of this deep depression I had fallen into. I tried church, I tried consoling, and support groups, nothing seemed to work. It was then I was aware I lost the one person who could have made me comprehend it wasn't my fault. The one person who would have made me feel like everything will be okay again someday. The one person whose love was big enough to hold all my Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. Narrative About Moving When I was a little kid we lived in Alabama.My dad had a job that involved moving around a lot. When we first moved I didn't really like it, but I was also going excited because we were going somewhere new. Through out my life till now I have lived in seven different places. I visited many different towns and cities. I didn't always agree/love moving. So here's my story. I can remember siting in our green, four door truck with two brothers and my parents. I was looking out of the tiny window. Watching all the cars and trucks roar by like race cars. Gazing at all the trees blend together as we drove. I never could stay awake on the drives. I always ended up falling asleep. Once we got at our new home(Middle Town, Pennsylvania) we started to Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. Personal Narrative Essay About Moving My life has always revolved around moving and change. I mean it is understandable because I am a military brat. I can remember my first move it was a drastic one. We went from California's cool winds to the snows of New York. It was a wonderful experience while it lasted, but than my dad came back from deployment and we had to pack up our bags and leave. When I was a little girl, moving never bothered me including the change that came with it. I would move somewhere and I would think of the fresh start that I would get. Going to new schools weren't a big deal either because making friends was easy for me then. But when I entered the 8th grade I noticed how difficult it was going to be starting high school somewhere I have never been. It Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. Narrative About Moving When I found out that my family and I were moving, I was shocked. I admit, when they had brought up the subject before I hadn't exactly denied the idea, and I was actually okay with it. But I had no idea that it would actually happen. I knew that this change would be difficult, but I wasn't aware of how much it would affect me. As I lay in bed that night I couldn't stop thinking about what was going to happen. I had never moved before, and just the thought of it made me feel sick. I knew moving wasn't easy, but I wasn't ready for all the tension and hassle that came with it. All I could think about was all the friendships I was leaving behind, the inside jokes and favorite teachers. Tears had started filling my eyes while I tried to blink ...show more content... My stomach dropped when I realized it was my first day of eighth grade at a new school. I was more nervous that day than I could ever remember being. While I was getting ready, I called my best friend and she made me feel better, offering me words of encouragement. As the clock changed to 7:00 I hopped into the car, ignoring the nauseous feeling in my stomach. My parents dropped me off at the front of the school while butterflies flew in my stomach. All I had wanted to do was run back into the car and slam the door shut, blocking out everything that was unfamiliar. But instead I took a deep breath and pushed open the doors. Everything had been so different than my old school, and I was scared if I would fit in enough. I walked down to the eighth grade hallway and another wave of dread washed over me. Everybody was in their groups, laughing and talking, just like I would have been if I was still back at my old school. "Hi!" a girl grinned at me, reminding me of one of my old friends. "Hey." I replied back with a small smile of my own. I put stuff in my locker, grabbed my schedule and headed to Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 9. Narrative Essay About Moving My emotions switched from happy to nervous and scared when my parents said that we'd be moving to Virginia when we were on vacation. I was so sad because I didn't want to lose all of my friends and my home, but my family told me that we had to but might not be able to afford it and that made me slightly happier. When we returned to New Hampshire I made sure to not let anyone know that I was moving because I didn't want them to be sad. Every day I would ask my parents, "Are we going to move or not?" and they always said, "Maybe." One day my parents said, we probably won't just yet."I was so ecstatic that I told all my friends everything and they were very happy. Days passed quickly because I was still so relieved that I wasn't moving and I had been able to keep a secret from my friends until the secret no longer needed to be kept....show more content... My grandmother had passed away while my friend and I were sleeping upstairs and that had changed my parents' minds about moving. After hearing this, my friend went home and I sobbed like I had never sobbed before. It was like a salty waterfall of tears was pouring out of my eyes. My parents comforted me and told me that I would have time to tell my friends I'll be leaving and to say my goodbyes. They also told me that moving would help me get a better education and be closer to family, an overall better life. I was still to sad to soak that in and just wanted to calm down for the rest of the day and go to sleep because it was very difficult to take in all the bad Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 10. Personal Narrative Essay About Moving Nobody really likes to move. At least, I know I don't. We were living with my grandparents in Tashkent when I was in second grade. We moved into our house in Manhattan when I was about 9 years old. Life was going great. I had lots of good friends that I had been around for a lot. I really liked where we were living and I did not want to leave what I had always known. My dad had a job that required him to travel around other places. Somehow the idea jumped into his head that he wanted to move. In the beginning, it was just a crazy idea to me and I thought there was no way that we would ever move. As time went on, this idea became a harsh reality. I didn't want to think about moving. I just kept telling myself that it was never going to happen. One day my dad came home and told us that we were going to move to New York. I had never heard of New York before and assumed that it was a bad place to live. I didn't want to give it a chance. Once we had bought our property and our house started to be built, there was no way to deny it; we were going to move. It was going to be extremely hard to leave everything behind in my country and move to a new place. I had never moved in my...show more content... I was upset at my parents for taking us to this new place that we knew nothing about. I let them know that I didn't like what they were doing by how I acted. Every time the move came up in conversation I would pout and act angry, but there was no way to change the fact that we had moved. Once we got here life started quickly. School began not to long after we moved, which didn't give me much time to make friends. The first week of school felt like an eternity because I didn't know English and anyone. Then I started to make friends and feel more comfortable. After that everything became normal. I forgot about how much I missed my country and started to enjoy living in New York with my new Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 11. Personal Narrative Essay About Moving In the heat of summer 2011, I moved from small town Statesboro, Georgia to Columbia, South Carolina. I was only six at the time, so I hadn't really thought much about moving to a new house, new school, or even a whole other state. In actual fact, I was mostly enthusiastic about moving. This was a both positive and negative experience for my whole family. This was the year my whole life changed. "Wake up Jayne Mac," my mother called to me from the living room. I hopped out of my bed and briskly got dressed. "Come on!" my mother shouted as I bolted past my brother's room and raced outside to where the moving truck and my parents were standing. Suddenly, a white truck pulled up to our driveway. All of the sudden, my grandmother hopped out of...show more content... "Are you ready to go?" my grandmother asked. Before I could answer, my brother and sister ran up to greet her. Afterwards around two or three hours, me and two of my younger siblings left to Columbia with my grandmother. But, my parents and my youngest sister left a few hours after we had left. After an exhausting and strenuous three hour car ride, we finally reached my grandmother's house. A few days later, my whole family and my grandmother went out looking for houses to buy. My family saw numerous houses, some I enjoyed better than others. One house in particular caught my eye. Not the house itself, but the fact that we would have to be homeschooled instead of going to a whole new school. Being six and all, I was dreading the fact that I would have to go to school. Think about it, I was a six year–old that left my school and all of my friends in Georgia that had to go to a whole other school in South Carolina with no friends or even people that I knew. Sadly, my parents didn't end up buying that particular house. Although, I think that my parents wanted me to go to school. The house my parents chose needed some work and style. The room that I sleep in now used to be an appalling shade of brown. The playroom used to Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 12. Moving Out On My Own Essay People often hear or maybe seen on the news of houses being broken into. We do our best to protect ourselves and our families from the unenviable happening. We have locks, we purchase alarm systems and other forms of defense to keep strangers out and our possessions in. When I woke up on Tuesday, April 6th, 2011, I never imagined someone would come inside of my home and ramble through my things and take from me whatever they wanted. If I could have seen into the future, I would attempt to change the minds of the guys who broke into my apartment. Moving out on my own was a very scary task. I finally made up my mind to obtain a place for my daughter and myself; I was twenty five years old. Previously, I was living with my mother and father...show more content... My daughter immediately began packing her stuff; she was going back to her Nana's house. After packing what I felt was important and securing the backdoor as well as we could, we left and went back to my mom's house. The next day I called the owner and told him I was moving back home. I felt defeated and taken advantage of. Not taken advantage of by the owner, but just in general, by life. I asked the two neighbors closest to me if they had notice anyone around my place the day before, but no one saw anything. The elderly man that was normally sitting outside by his fence was at the hospital with his wife all day. The male who lived directly next door stated he worked all night so he was sleeping the majority of the day. So we packed what was left of our items and just like that we were back home, back in my childhood room. We were going back to where we felt secure and protected. It was a short experience, but it showed me how looks can be deceiving and sometimes we don't always make the right choices at the right time. I felt so vulnerable, but at the same time I felt I was meant to go through that situation so that I could appreciate what I had. It wasn't about being an adult or being on my own, but being able to protect what I loved and cared the most about. I loved my shoes, especially my Nike Air Jordan's to be Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 13. Narrative Essay About Moving To Place Moving from place to place can have a big impact on a child. Not being able to get comfortable and settled with the people around you. It causes you to be shy and unusual around others. Living with my dad down in Dallas Texas moving from there to Newport News Virginia where my mother lives was hard on me. Seeing my farther go away for a few years not knowing if he would ever show again. I did not stay in school for long because my farther sent for me to come back and live with him down in Texas. This was very frustrating because I started to feel like I will never get a chance to be settled down and have a normal life. Once I got to enrolled into my school I can't recall the name but I never took anything I did seriously. This was because I felt like I was just going to move away and everything I did would not matter. Shortly my dad told me and my older brother we was heading off to Washington state because of the job he had....show more content... The weather the people and the schools. I did not know how to interact with people or understand their way of thinking. The first school I was enrolled in was Sunny Crest Elementary during the fifth grade. I absolutely loved everything about that school. After that year I moved to Marysville and attended middle school there. I felt like an angry child growing up. Nothing seem to work out until my junior year of high school. Coming up from elementary and mid high school my older brother was nothing but a troublemaker. He always got in trouble and never did what he was supposed to do. I never knew he was already giving me a repatriation as he went through high school. Everyone thought that I was just going to be like him. A troublemaker and turn out as a waist. Once I found out that everything clicked. I wanted to be better than him. I wanted a future for myself.

  • 14. Essay About Moving As I went downstairs the tone of the room felt hot, humid, and empty. Hot, because of the burning Atlanta temperatures of ninety–eight degrees or higher. Humid, caused by the broken air conditioning and affecting the density of the atmosphere. Finally empty. The furniture was missing and minimal sounds can bounce off to make echoes. I was departing from a place that I called home. I lived at the address 353 Leisure Court for almost a year; the identity of the street brings back smiles to my face because of its pleasantry.

  • 15. A Narrative Essay About Moving To A New Country Bags and bags of packages were traveling to the opposite side of the world during the summer of 2009, and it was time to get settled down again, in an unfamiliar environment.

  • 16. Essay About Moving Experience The most impactful challenge that I have faced is moving away for the first time. When I was fifteen years old, my mother announced that we would be moving from Compton, California to Desert Hot Springs, California. The house that my family and I resided in was passed down from my great–grandmother and most of my family, including myself, grew up in that house. It was hard to take in because I was in the last quarter of my sophomore year of high school, and I had already established my group of friends. Prior to moving, I vowed that at my new school, I wouldn't go out of my way to make friends or join a clique. My principal priority was getting good grades and self–growth.

Although I still get homesick sometimes, I overcame my grief of moving by accepting the fact that I live out here and there is nothing that I can do about it until I graduate high school. When I was attending Dominguez High School, my grades weren't good, and it wasn't because I didn't know how to do the work. It was because I didn't want to do the work. When I started attending DHSHS, my grades improved tremendously because I was so focused on my schoolwork and I took the initiative of communicating with my teachers. Instead of waiting for my teachers to remind me when something needed to be done, I reminded myself and pushed myself to get it done. I have excelled so much academically and when I look at my transcripts, I notice the immense change in my grades. Although my GPA isn't as high as I want it to be, I am still exceptionally proud of myself and my accomplishments.

We moved from state to state to be closer to my father, because his job required him to leave us for long periods of time. My childhood was spent running down endless streets of neighborhoods that were only temporary. Homeschooling was also an effect of moving around so much.

I didn't want to start over again, to me it was like the ground beneath me was crumbling and the longer I stayed in Texas the more it would fall apart. It wasn't until just a few weeks before school started that it truly did. One late morning I woke up to the sounds of muffled voices coming from the inside of my shared closet. I dragged my heavy body off the hard mattress that laid on the floor, still hazy from effects of sleep. Walking to the bathroom I heard the quieted voices of my both my sisters, they were crying. I overheard a part of their conversation, they were talking about my oldest brother Alec. He had passed away the night before. Tears started to rain down my cheeks and a lump formed in my throat as the thought of my big brother no longer being able to protect me from the world started to seep into my mind. It hurt so much, I had always thought that he would always be there for me. I was used to people who had only been in my life for a couple of years to leave me, but he was there for me since I could even remember.
