2011, I was 6 at the time and we has recently moved to Germany. Since my dad was in the army, we moved around a lot. Before Germany, we lived in Texas for a while. When we moved, I started skiing with my father. He was a snowboarder, so I started with snowboarding but that wasn’t for me. My dad had a friend, who had a daughter and I was friends with his daughter. We were around the same age and we went to the same elementary school, Landstuhl Elementary School, on the army base. Her name was Keeli but I called her Kiwi, she was around the same height as me, maybe a little shorter, and she had blonde shoulder length hair. During one of our trips, we went to Switzerland, Europe to ski. Keeli and I got a private instructor and we had lessons everyday.

  • Personal Narrative: My Life As An Immigrant

    504 Words  | 2 Pages

    Pick up any newspaper today and look no further than the front page headlines. What you will read is a story about hundreds, if not thousands, of men, women, and children who have been scared away from their homes and stripped of basic human rights, like healthcare, security, and education. All over the world, people are reading this same story of families in Syria being uprooted by civil war, or schoolgirls being kidnapped in Nigeria-or migrants searching for freedom in a foreign land. As Americans, we tend to forget about the journey we all share together, regardless of race, gender, creed, or nationality. So when I think about where I am going, I can’t help but think about the events that have made my story part of a greater global narrative.

  • Personal Narrative: My Move to a New City and Subsequent Move Back Home

    1840 Words  | 4 Pages

    Everything seems like it’s falling out of place, it’s going too fast, and my mind is out of control. I think these thoughts as I lay on my new bed, in my new room, in this new house, in this new city, wondering how I got to this place. “My life was fine,” I say to myself, “I didn’t want to go.” Thinking back I wonder how my father felt as he came home to the house in Stockton, knowing his wife and kids left to San Diego to live a new life. Every time that thought comes to my mind, it feels as if I’m carrying a ten ton boulder around my heart; weighing me down with guilt. The thought is blocked out as I close my eyes, picturing my old room; I see the light brown walls again and the vacation pictures of the Florida and camping trip stapled to them. I can see the photo of me on the ice rink with my friends and the desk that I built with my own hands. I see my bed; it still has my checkered blue and green blanket on it! Across from the room stands my bulky gray television with its back facing the black curtain covered closet. My emotions run deep, sadness rages through my body with a wave of regret. As I open my eyes I see this new place in San Diego, one large black covered bed and a small wooden nightstand that sits next to a similar closet like in my old room. When I was told we would be moving to San Diego, I was silenced from the decision.
