My parents had a rough start together always moving to different houses they worked their way up from the bottom of the barrel. Until we moved to the house I live in now ,at the age of five. The house before my present one had a pretty decent neighborhood. There wasn’t really any friendly neighborhood interaction accept our next door neighbor they were good Samaritans, but came very distant when we moved. I am born and raised in San Antonio I have met so many great and wonderful people, but I also saw the indecent. This brought my ideas of right and wrong since people were just so close not in the sense of blood but as a community. I started to have the need and want of understanding them, and how they got into the situation they are now. I always tried to get the full story and the extra details to evaluate them individually so I wouldn’t blindly judge them and I could also connect with them. …show more content…

Back then I was more ebullient and able to make friends easier, even with older students. I enjoyed playing with the big kids and just feeling appreciated for the things I could accomplish for them. I tried to keep to myself intact and not bothersome, so they would like me. I also had a speech problem during the time, I seemed to be thinking too fast then my mouth could follow.

I examined myself and found I need to change in order to accomplish my goals. Filled with regret of my troublesome past dues.

Noticing this, my parents started to step up in discipline and made sure I knew proper manners.

For my second year of high school, I moved away from home and became a boarder at Bolles. At first, I was so overly excited to be away from home because I thought I was about to have all the freedom in the world. Well, soon enough I learned that I thought wrong. Of course, being in the dorm environment consisted of certain rules to ensure our safety and of course there were rules that the borders, including myself did and do not agree on. Over the past three years, I have observed that the boarder population feels like some rules are not made for our safety, but made to stop us from having a little

    920 Words  | 2 Pages

    As a middle school student, specifically an eighth grader in the Bronx I was going through a lot of changes. This was also the first year that I completed without taking a leave to attend medical matters. Considering my many absences due to my mother having me attend with her to her appointments to interpret and fill out paperwork, I was a good student. I was a bit older than most students. At this point in time, I was realizing that I did not have many friends and that was ok. I was not liked by many students; I was even cropped out of the year book in a couple of instances. Even though I did not have many friends, and my overly controlling mother started stirring the pot when I was choosing a high school, I knew that I wanted to be an artist.

  • The Importance Of Transitioning To High School

    901 Words  | 2 Pages

    The thing students did that I had found funny a year ago, weren't funny or interesting. It was just disrespectful to the teacher. Cussing did not amuse me, it sounded vein. It was like all my morals had kicked in. I distanced my self because I was scared that I would become like them. Of course not everyone was like that, but it felt that way. Everyone had their own groups that they would hang out with at lunch and I found myself just talking to maybe one or two people but never really connected with them. I joined cheer because I thought I would be able to make friends that I could hang out with during break and lunch and also because I thought it would be fun. It did not go exactly how I wanted to, but it was still fun. I grew very distant from everyone and it felt like they were obligated to make rumors about me because no one knew really anything about me. One guy decided that he would send out a random picture of a naked girl and say it was me. Many believed it was me and others weren't sure what to believe. Then some other boys decided to take a picture up my skirt and they sent it to everyone. I was pushed to my limits. I cried going to school everyday and I would fake sick just so I wouldn't have to face anyone. I guess all the crying in the morning made my mom realize that maybe it was best for me to transfer. But I would only be able to transfer if my brother agreed to attend as well because my parents couldn't afford it

  • 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.

I was only five years old when we packed up our belongings and moved right down the street. I do not remember a lot about the first house although, according to my parents, there was never a dull moment. I still remember the day we moved into my new house, the one my parents and sister still live in today. I had just started kindergarten, and I remember feeling anxious the entire day just wondering what was waiting for me at the new house. Was it big? Did I have a trampoline? What color was my wallpaper? The moment my mom picked me up from school that day I was suddenly relieved from all of my worries. I knew the

  • Personal Self Assessment

    I was sometimes slower at completing a written paper or an assignment. In open discussions about material we had just read, things weren’t sticking with me after reading to feel confident to raise my hand and be active with discussions. I would have to search for answers in my memory for some time. Sometimes answers just weren’t retrieved at all. I became frustrated in school often, and eventually developed a negative attitude toward school. I struggled a lot with this because I knew I could do better. Every day I prepared myself for failure because I lacked the tools and strategies that I needed to succeed in school. Granted, I got by, but I could have been a much better student. I earned low B’s and C’s, but should have been A’s.
