Recommended: Seasons and weather changing

I was seven years old when my Mom had told me the bad news that would change my life completely. My mom had told me that are family would be moving from California to North Carolina. Well it was hard to take it in because all of my close relatives lived near the west coast at the time and my mom and dad were split up and it was just me my older sister Samantha, my little brother Evan, my mom Saline, and my step dad Robert. So it was hard thinking that I wouldn’t be able to see them as much. Well now it was the summer before me and my sister were supposed to move out to North Carolina. The reason it was just Sam and I was because Evan was are half-brother so he didn’t stay, him, my mom, and Robert were in North Carolina preparing the house. …show more content…

When we first got there I could tell a huge difference in the scenery compared to California. Southern California was hot, dry and like a desert and North Carolina was cold, rainy, and sometimes humid also it was much greener than Southern California. Besides the difference in scenery and climate I didn’t look forward to going to a new school. When I had started school it was hard for me because I was new and shy so I didn’t make that much friends also I had been misbehaving at school. Since I had kept on misbehaving I had to change from school to school while visiting my therapist. I visit my therapist so I could stop misbehaving at school and also to stop misbehaving at home as well. While I was seeing my therapist I was starting to be not as bad as I was when I started school in North Carolina. Now I was staring middle school and I had begun to like North Carolina much more than before when I first moved to North Carolina. Now in the sixth grade I had went to Wiley middle school and I was nervous to start because it was a new school but in a while with the help of some of my teachers I was able to make some friend at school. Also while in the sixth grade I had joined some clubs at Wiley. The clubs I had joined were the robotics club and the Spanish club and when I was in these clubs I had made some friends in

    Throughout my life I have been traveling to and from New York and it has pretty much became a regular part of my life. I have left and came back multiple times over the years, from going on vacations to moving for good, but the most significant time was when I was moving out of New York when I was a kid. My parents had a reason to move down to Philadelphia so they decided that’s what we were going to do. Since I was born here and spent most of my early childhood here, the thought of living somewhere else was strange to me, as it would for almost any kid at that age, and I didn’t really know how life would be like outside of the neighborhood where I’m from.

  • Narrative Essay: State Of Missouri Vs. Florida

    516 Words  | 2 Pages

    Missouri versus Florida is unmistakably a complete change of scenery. The landscape, the weather, the sand everywhere and, most of all: the possibility. At first, I was convinced that I would hate Florida; all I knew about the state was bugs, humidity, and the fact that my new home would be over 900 miles away from my old one in Missouri. I believed nothing good could possibly come of moving halfway across the country the summer after my freshman year in high school. But, after living here for a little over two years, I am appreciative of the change. I'm still not the biggest fan of the state of Florida, (there are too many retirement homes for my taste), but that is a different story. But, I've enjoyed getting to know a different area of the country; this has made me long to travel even more and I plan to study abroad during college.

With my knowledge of the discrimination and non-existing acceptance of homosexuality, at age fourteen, I faced my greatest challenge. To be a Christian, I felt I must repress my feelings toward males and to not be my true self. Throughout middle school, I strongly struggled internally and externally with my sexuality. Internally,

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

    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.
