Personal Narrative: Moving From Tennessee To Ohio

Anyways, my birthday is March 7, 1997 and I was born in Ionia Michigan. I left Michigan on a greyhound bus with my birth mother and my younger brother when I was four, so I don’t remember much about it. However, I do recall blue trucks and long walks. I don’t know what this means, but when I think about life in Michigan, this is all that comes to mind. I also obviously remember my family members which are my birth grandmother, aunt, uncle (all on my birth mother’s side), my other birth grandmother, and aunt (on my birth father’s side).

The move back to Maryland was one of the biggest challenges in my life, everything was okay in Ohio until my step dad caused problems with me and my mom. It all started when my mom tried kicking my step dad out of the house for domestic violence. She kicked him out because not only has he fought with my mom, but he and I have fought a few times. Everything seemed fine at first until he kept bringing police officers to our house claiming almost all of our household items were his and he wanted to get them back. Of course the officers eventually weren’t allowing him to keep coming back to bug us about it and told him to go to the court and take the problem to a civil court judge.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to view my resume, I have recently moved to Ontario and Iam eager to discover this amazing province. I have lived in several countries including: England, Spain and Brazil; I am now a permanent resident of Canada with dual citizenship; Brazil and Spain. I can speak and write fluently in both English and Portuguese and have an intermediate level in Spanish. Due to multiple living locations I have developed my sense and respect for different cultures, religions and way of life, creating an ability to adapt to many situations; by developing scenarios where, "thinking on your feet", being innovative, compassionate, empathetic and dedicated as well as, having a thirst for knowledge and understanding are thriving

My dad moved to Tennessee. He said that he needed to leave Wisconsin. He was depressed and that he would be a lot happier if he was in Tennessee by my grandma. He wanted to go down there to get his diploma and live a better life. I didn’t understand what was so different about Wisconsin.

After 11 years in Louisville, Scott and I have made our move back home to Indiana to be closer to our family. We will miss all of our friends in Kentucky more than we can tell you...too many to list here, but you all know who you are. It was a difficult and emotional decision to make but we are excited to be home. I will go to work at IU Health in the morning and Scott is still remotely working for Honeywell, supporting Boeing. We have certainly been reminded that life is short and priorities change and nothing is more important than family.

I was born in New York City New York City was a cool place to be at. I left New York City at a young age The reason I had to leave New York City is because my dad had a better job position in Houston Texas with more pay and besides he didn 't like the cold weather anyway. At first my mom didn 't want to leave her family in New York. My dad to beg her to move to Houston.

In early August of 2009, I embarked on a long drive from the beautiful state of Virginia to the more homey state of Alabama. My grandfather, Benjie Norris, had been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and was given months to survive. My mother had been traveling back and forth from Virginia to Alabama, so it was decided that the family should go on and move to Alabama in order to be closer to family. Being only a sixth grader, it was hard to grasp the concept of moving to an unfamiliar place. Moving to Alabama has been a beneficial life experience thanks to family, friends, and strong spiritual atmosphere of the area.

Moving to Cleveland was one of the worst days of my life. My mom told us to pack our bags because we were moving to one of the best and most beautiful places in Ohio. I was an idiot and thought Ohio would be just like The Woodlands. I thought they would have winning teams, lots of trees, and comfy neighborhoods with parks, but it was exactly the opposite.

My most critical moment of thinking came as I was deciding to leave Dallas and move to Philadelphia. My husband received a lucrative job offer in Philadelphia right after our engagement and we both knew that a long distance relationship was not for us. He had finally found a good position in the Field that he was passionate about but he wouldn 't budge if I decided to stay in Dallas. Even though I had no desire to leave Texas, I would never have wanted to be the one responsible for him giving up a wonderful opportunity.

The guys from Ohio are quite the group. They come up once a year and stay with my Uncle Buzz. He isn’t my real Uncle but is close enough to be one, so I just call him that. John is one of the four guys that come. He is the kind of guy where he needs to be proven wrong before he admits he is.

The first eight years of my life, I spent in India where I was born. Growing up I was constantly reminded by my parents that I needed to make them proud by getting a good job and living a good lifestyle. They told me this because they did not want to see me live a hard life like they did. When I was nine years old, I moved from India to the United States of America. The reason why I moved to America was not because I was living a bad life in India, it was so that I could have a better education and more opportunities in life.

Growing up in Ohio, I was always fond of the great outdoors. My love for the outdoors carried me to apply for a seasonal job in Yellowstone National Park over the summer after I completed high school in the year 2000. Little did I know that having a seasonal job in housekeeping would teach me some of the most valuable lessons in life. I had no idea that my time would be cut short, due to one of the most devastating losses that I could experience. Seventeen years later, my family upbringing, strong work ethic, love for the outdoors, and love for my family, have formed me into who I am today.

Although not every move was easy, I soon started enjoying it and looked forward to learning something new about a different place. Therefore, when my father informed me that we were going to relocate to USA, I was on top of the moon. I looked forward to a new environment and new experiences. Despite all the different moves, I found my relocation to Maryland one of the hardest. I soon realized that the schooling was very different and people even talked differently.

While I am still quite new to Alabama, through recent caving trips to the state I have fell in love with everything the state has to offer. From the kind faces at every turn, to the wonderful caves and outdoors, I hope to call Alabama home in the near future. Additionally, with my brother starting college in Huntsville this fall, I am looking to maintain family ties by attending UAB.

For nine years I lived in a small town until my mom and I moved to New York City. I had a year to get used to the idea, and had really gotten excited about it, but when we finally made the transition, it wasn't what I expected. Before moving, my view of everything was as small as my town. I thought that people in NYC were happy, and living stable lives.
