About five years ago, in 4th grade, I had to move schools. I remembered being scared because I had to make new friends, have new teachers and experience a whole different atmosphere. I did not know how it might be or how the student would be reacting or treating me in that school. I was also very sad I was leaving all my friends and I was sure I was not going to see them anymore because we were all going to whole different schools. My mom told me, “It will not be hard to make new friends. You just have to trust me. The new school you are going to is going to be very fun and you will be able to experience new things. Just believe in me.” I trusted my mom and hopefully what she said would be true.
The first day of school was nothing like I
Whenever I went into a new school, I would go in shaking, and sometimes crying, and not want to face what was in store for me. My mom would look me in the eyes, tell me everything would be ok, and to find the courage deep within me and I can achieve anything. I would take a few breaths, calm down, and then take my day a minute at a time trying to scrounge up all the courage I could get. Then when I made it through that day I would feel much better about myself and I would be able to face the next day with much less difficulty, and every day got easier.
In my junior year of high school i stepped out of my comfort zone to learn about something I am very passionate about. Continuing to senior year, every morning I take cosmetology classes. In the morning I get to school early so I can get on a bus to take me to a different school. I spend half my day there and the other half of my day at my regular high school. Going to a new school can, sometimes, be difficult and stressful. When you are used to seeing the same faces everyday this is a big adjustment. Starting a new school, you go in not knowing anyone. This school made it easier because everyone is in the same situation. The students are combined from all the other schools, in my city, make up the classes. This being said, everyone goes into school not knowing anyone. This brings me a sense of comfort knowing that everyone around me is in the same boat. As the year went on, I became more comfortable and
Moving away from the place that one calls home is a hard situation, especially for a child at a young age. I lived in Brookhaven, Mississippi, and I was in the eighth grade. I had been in Brookhaven School District majority of my childhood. I had plenty of friends, and I was involved in school clubs. It was two weeks before the beginning of my freshman year when I got the news. My mom called me in her room and explained why I had to transfer schools. My sister has Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, and she felt that it was best that we try a smaller school. I called up my friends to tell them the news, and we decided that these last few nights were going to be the best. We went out to bowl, had sleep overs, and had a special trip to the waterpark. I felt so happy to get that time with them, but moving day came and ruined all of the fun. That morning we packed up the house, said our goodbyes to our neighbors, and drove away. Though as I rode in the car towards a new beginning, I felt like I left behind the whole world behind me.
I moved to Arizona from Boston in 2014. We have moved around before, but this was different. We were going across the country. I was sad to leave everything I knew behind for someplace I didn’t really know about. We moved in July, and as August came closer and closer, I got more nervous. Would I sit alone at lunch? Would I like my teachers? As any 6th grader would be before the first day of school, I was scared and a bit nervous. I was pretty shy, always hiding myself in books. So I was relieved to find that we wouldn’t have to find our classes alone on the first day. I was dreading lunch, but I put it out of my mind. That day, in fact, I met one of my best friends. I managed to survive my first day of middle school. And the next. And the next. I even got good grades in math! I sometimes struggle, and did previously, in math.
In that summer prior to moving in the fall, I grew anxious and eager. My friends slowly began to move to their new colleges and I thought to myself “wow, this is really happening!” Unfortunately, my sister and I (we are twins) started school on the same day so our parents had to split up and take me to California and her to New York. My mom traveled with me and I remember us sitting in the airport waiting for our flight watching my last sunset, and she said “I am so happy for you. I know you will enjoy this.” I knew I would
In 2014 of October I moved to Georgia from Florida. I was leaving a place I had been living in my entire life. It was a tough situation as I knew moving to a different state and school could be difficult. I was very nervous as it was a new environment with different people and new types of school work. I was worried about not making friends or getting bad grades. That morning of school my heart raced. When I arrived at school I met new people and my teachers, I also figured out which teachers were bad and what teachers would be good. I left school that day very happy knowing I would have a great year. Later that week I started to become more familiar with the grading systems, behavior system and connections. at my old school they were called
When I reached our destination, the geographical differences were just a tiny part of my life’s hurdle. Unlike, my previous assumption of the evergreen state, this was the complete opposite. Tumbleweeds replaced evergreen bushes, rivers replaced lakes and quail replaced red cardinals. My physical surroundings were the easiest to adjust to. Nevertheless, a new school was probably the most difficult part of moving. I grew up in a school where I was the only one in my grade out of a school population of eight. So when I walked into my sixth grade classroom filled with at least twenty-six boisterous children, you could say I was a bit overwhelmed. The lifestyle in eastern Washington contrasted sharply with my comfort zone. People in this area were constantly with a filled schedule including, sports, music competitions and recitals, and school activities, unlike the life filled with daily visits to the lake. School was definitely harder than my previous school, constant homework and tests were a foreign language to me. All the friends I’ve had up till then, have known me ever since I learned how to read, so making new friends was a new thing for me, as well. From the start, making friends was arduous, I’m not a very outgoing person and small talk isn’t my forte. I would be introduced to some people, most of the time neither one of us had a
The year I switched schools will always be a year that I’ll remember. My parents had told me one day that they finally bought the house and that we will be moving in april. Of course, after I was told that, I knew if we moved I would have to go to a different school, and was already ready to go to reynolds. My parents had given me a choice to either move halfway through 7th grade, or in 8th grade. Of course, me being the cliche kid, I decided to move in the middle of 7th grade. However, I've learned that moving isn't as scary as it seems and it gives you insight on how teachers teach differently, and in their own way.
My choice of changing schools was a very difficult decision to make. Although I was bullied at my old school, I still had a really good friend I had to leave behind. Fortunately, we are still as close as ever today. Even though I was 8 years old, switching schools was one of the most important decisions I have made in my life so far. If i didn’t switch, I don’t know where I would be or what I would be doing today. My life became significantly better after the change and I spent the rest of my elementary school years as a happy kid with no
At the beginning of my 8th grade school year, I wasn't ready for change. I had lived in Crystal Lake, Illinois my whole life until l that point. I was forced to drop everything that I had held dear in that town and I moved to Highland Park, Illinois. I was frightened by the transition and this is most demonstrated in my first day at my new school. As we rolled up to the sidewalk and my
My mother ranted all morning about how I was irresponsible for leaving my car at the grocery store and how she wasn't getting me a new one and blah blah blah I was thankful when breakfast was finally over and she had to leave for work leaving me with no means of transportation. Thanks mom.
Every year at least one teenager has to go to a new strange school. This can be difficult when a teenager doesn't know anyone in the school. Even I had to move schools when I was in 11th grade which was very hard because I've been to my other school for two years and I pretty much knew everyone there. Moving to a new school was very scary for me and it didn't make me really happy cause I knew that I would have to make new friends other people already have friends over there and I was just scared that I wouldn't fit in. Was 15 when does happened and I was currently on my way to go to 11th grade I lived with my parents. When I was in 10th grade I was enjoying school I had a lot of friends in school and life was really good but then one day my mom and my dad thought that apartment we were living in was too small for us and the rent was too much so my mom with the siding that maybe we should move I was upset because we were going to change schools and I really didn't want that to happen but my mom said they would try their best to find the same school in house around that now I just have to wait and find out if we do find a house or if we don't find a house around my school.
Unlike most kids, I could not be eager to see my old friends again. I was starting secondary school at a high school where I was far away from my grade school friends. This proved to be quite difficult and nerve-wracking because it meant starting all over again. Ever since I was a kid, I have had unusual school transitions. To be more specific, I moved from a school
Moving schools, moving schools is the hardest thing you could possibly ever do because your leaving everything you’ve known and everything you're used to, but at the same time it could be exciting because you get to experience a new community and most importantly new things. You have a new chance at starting over and meeting new people. Most people would say moving is the worst thing you could do but it isn't the worst thing you could do. In my opinion, I would say trying something new is the better choice just because it was for me. Moving schools was an absolute greater decision because I met amazing people and many people supported me until I felt comfortable at my new school. I never wanted to leave my loved ones and my other school but my mind changed and it was greatly astonishing.
The meaning of movement has created to incorporate a significant comprehension of relocation. Migration has put an accentuation on the impacts of school financing. Confirmation proposes that the biggest test in school subsidizing is the consequence of increment in transient kids in schools. Thus, as the South Carolina State Superintendent of Instruction a strategy must be set up for the expected increment of migrant kids.
