A Moving Experience Moving houses had always been strenuous for me, especially since my family had moved multiple times. This was my family’s third time moving. We were moving from California to Indiana. Even though it was my third time moving, I still found it arduous to move locations and to say goodbye to the friends I made in California. Although the transition of moving was difficult, I decided to focus on the new experiences I would gain from moving. Moving from California to Indiana caused me to change my way of living. To start, I moved from San Jose, California to Whiteland, Indiana in the middle of my third grade year at the beginning of December. I recall thinking that Indiana was dull and bland, both in the weather and environment. Previously, my friends in California told me that all Indiana had to offer was corn. Of course, being a third grader, I believed them. However, I knew Indiana had something that California did not. Indiana had snow. I stayed hopeful because I have always wanted to see snow. Coincidentally, it snowed the day after we moved. I was astonished because I had never seen flurries of snow before. It was stunningly beautiful with the fluffy white …show more content…
The first lesson I learned was not to place stereotypes on anything or anyone. Before coming to Indiana, I honestly thought all it had to offer was corn. Later I learned that Indiana was actually a beautiful place and that the weather was quite pleasant. The most important lesson I learned was that if I did not move, I would not have experienced the weather or new friendships in Indiana. For example, I witnessed snow for the first time and how beautiful it is. Also, I also had the chance to come to a new school and experience a new atmosphere and had the chance to experience was the making of new friendships. If I did not move, I would not have learned any of
My move from my home state of Maryland to Georgia has greatly influenced my goals and perspectives. When I lived in the city area of Maryland, I had a limited viewpoint of life as a person who knew only of the city and had relaxed belief of living only within my comfort zone of what a city had to offer, however that changed when I moved to Georgia. Georgia proved itself to be a very different experience for me. Georgia is a lot bigger than Maryland so there was more place for its cities to be more spread apart and the environment had a more forestry background than what I knew at the young age. The change of setting and accustoms associated from the very different places made me realize that depending on a person’s position one object can be
Arriving in Oregon, where I didn’t yet have a home,I felt out of place. I had to rely on myself where I used to rely on friends. I wanted to give up and return to Maine, but had to persevere and keep a positive attitude. I stayed hopeful that we would find our forever home and helped as much as I could. I learned that when faced with a lot of challenges, I can get discouraged, but won’t stop until the task
Moving Day The day I moved from the small town of Independence to Virginia Beach was one of the scariest times of my life. Independence is an extremely small town of around 900 people with one stop light. Living in a greatly populated area with absolutely no friends or family other than my husband and my youngest daughter frightened me beyond what I thought I could handle. I cried out to God to give me the emotional and physical strength I needed to make it through this life event. Finding daylight at the end of this moving tunnel that was spiraling out of my control did not seem possible.
One moment the sky was growing a little grey, and the next thing you know you were surrounded by snow and stunning winds. The main reason this blizzard was unmistakingly deadly was because of its powerful winds, which would blow snow and ice into people’s faces, and the chilling temperatures of 40 below. People caught outside would have their nostrils and eyelids sealed shut by ice, their skin would tear open if they rubbed the ice off too much, and eventually their limbs would become frozen and lifeless. To sum it up, the people caught outside were at the mercy of the storm’s relentless force. David Laskin’s
In 2009, my family moved from the city to the suburbs. A lot of the things changed for the better; safer neighborhoods, better schools . . . it had seemed as if we 'd made it. But all that changed after the first day of school.
I Grew Up Here, And There I grew up as a military brat so being in one place for my whole childhood was not an option. I grew up in the company of my family. Mom 's southern cooking and my brothers ' destructiveness was the community I lived in. Out of all the places I have lived my three favorite are Washington, Florida, and Oklahoma.
I went through a phase where I was very closed off to everything and unwilling to try new things. Three years after this original move, I moved from Phoenix to Columbus, Ohio. Right before this move, I was beginning to come out of my shell and return to the original person I had been for the fourteen
hieving one of my most important goals which was to learn proper English and write better. In doing so I would be able to further my education after completing high school. I began participating in and played soccer for Woonsocket High School boy soccer team for 4 years. In today’s world, it goes without a saying that education is the key to success, It is also the main source of tool for people to have a brighter future.
I’ve never seen snow in my life until we were on our way. We drove to Iowa so when we were getting close, I remember the first time I touched snow and it wasn’t anything I thought it was like. I thought snow was soft but when I touched it was hard and icy. We lived in my aunt’s house, in her basement. Starting school at the elementary in Orange City, I was used to having a variety of races in my school, but when I went to school for the first time here all I saw was white people.
Moving from Tennessee to Ohio in the 6th grade was probably the most difficult times in my life. Boardman, Ohio, is where my mother and I moved too, from Murfreesboro,Tennessee. The environment was definitely a big change for me. Murfreesboro had variety of people with diversity and cultures from all around. Boardman is very basic, and not extremely integrated.
February 5, 2007, Houston Texas, it was 4:20 am when the alarm when off. I was spending the last moments with my family before embarking in the most challenging adventure of my young life yet; I was 20. The rainy morning accentuated the heavy feeling of departure. I gathered my emotions, thoughts and my single luggage, and proceeded to kiss my mother good-bye. She barely moved, the pain of seeing her youngest son leaving without knowing when would be the next time she would see him was unbearable. Her eyes were sparkling, full of tears wanting to explode but were held like a dam holds wild rivers.
When I was young my family and I lived in Spokane Washington. I have lived my entire life in Spokane, Washington up until now, I spent 10 years there and it was a pretty amazing experience before moving to California. In Spokane there is a lot of snow during the winter, it would get very cold! Sometimes it would go into the negative degrees.
Bumping into people while looking down and asking multiple people for direction even though I was shy. Giving five minutes after each class to get to the other, walking into a classroom on my first day people staring and observing. Moving to a different town is not about the new house, it is about adapting to a new environment. Moving away from family and friends can be a tough thing to do. I had to adjust to leaving my friends and family that I loved and seen almost every day.
“I left Wilson kicking and screaming,” that’s my dad’s cliche, though I’m pretty sure I was the one who was kicking and screaming. That’s because I was three when my family moved from Wilson, Wyoming, to Melody Ranch. One of my favorite quotes is “Change is difficult, not changing is fatal.” I often think of this quote when I remember the move. I was too little then to use advanced life skills, but I identified two that I could’ve used if I was older ; humor and initiative.
As you grow older, you will face many challenges. As l have grown up, I 've had the opportunity to live all around the country. It has been great to live in so many different places and I have viewed the experience as an awesome adventure but there are cons that go along with this lifestyle. Some of these cons consist of having to transition to a new system and how a school works and having to adjust to different teachers ' teaching styles. Different states teach different topics at different times therefore I have had to adjust to lessons that the students have mastered but I 've never seen before.
