How Does Moving Affect Your Life

I have moved to five different states throughout my life. The first few moves were easy because I was younger, but as I got older it became more and more difficult to say goodbye to friends and everything I knew. The most difficult move I experienced was right before my freshman year of high school. I had lived in Utah for seven years and I did not want to move to Idaho right before I started high school. I have never gone to Rexburg before we moved there. It is a smaller town with many people who have lived in Rexburg for most of their life. It was hard to fit in at school and become friends with people who had known each other their entire life. Finally after making the effort to meet many new people I felt like I fit in. I realize that students

Moving is hard for everyone, because you're leaving your friends and maybe some family. There are some good opportunities to make new friends and meet new people. You could also start over and maybe remove all the weight off your back if it's like drama, or maybe wondering if someone is going to like you. There is also an upside of seeing new things you maybe

Moving around from town to town happened quite often when I was younger. I always mirage living in one house my whole life and never having to know the feeling of leaving good friends behind. The move from Michigan to Illinois was definitely the most arduous. Elise, one of my best friends, had been with me from the first day I walked into Rummer Elementary to when we were crying on my porch the day before I left Michigan three years later. I expected this to be the last time we saw each other. I had done this enough that I realized she would move on or the six hour drive would keep us separated till we eventually gave up. My mother promised me it would be different this time, I thought she was only trying to keep me from becoming an misanthropist,

Moving far away from family and friends can be tough on a child at a young age. It has its pros and cons. One learns how to deal with moving away from the people they love and also learn how to deal with adjusting to new ways of life. Everything seems so different and at a young age one feels like they have just left the whole world behind them. That was an experience that changed my life as a person. It taught me how to deal with change and how to adjust. It developed me from a young boy into a mature young man.

When humans reflect on their lives they often categorize things by their location at the time of the event, grouping their college experience separately from their hometown high school experiences. This association with place causes us to view an unwanted movement as an attack on our personal way of living. I first experienced such an affront when I was in the first grade, my family and I moved to a small town about three hours away from San Angelo. My father wanted to be closer to his aunt and uncle so he seemingly forced me and to tag along for the experience. I didn’t want to move away from my grandparents or my friends, the thought alone would cause me to cry. I had to leave behind all my friends, my family I

Living in one place for so long feels different than what I remember when I was younger. I do like having a consistent group of friends and living in the same home for a long time, but I miss moving around and seeing new places a lot.

For as long as i could remember I had lived in New York, so the first time we moved it was difficult for both my sister and me. When I was about 6 and she was 4 we moved to Dover, Delaware Air Force base. The fact that my step dad was in the Air Force made my sister and me closer. Going to a new state and not knowing anyone there my mom my sister and i never really felt at home. My step dad knew all his buddies from basic training and most of them lived on base near us so that was not a problem for him.

Moving can also be a big part of someone’s life mainly because of the new people and possibly new best friends. Moving schools is also important because it changes how you are near people because you don’t know anyone there. You have to learn how to change and blend in with your new surroundings. But, it doesn’t have to be all negative because once you’ve changed and is use to your surroundings; you can make new friends and find new best friends. This has happened to me when I was in second grade and found best friends. When I moved, it took me off guard and I had to start becoming use to new people. I eventually did, and found new friends and best friends along the

The struggles for a kid moving into a new community and school is pretty harsh for example having to say goodbye to friends and family, having to make new friends, and having to get used to your new surroundings. Say good-bye to your friends is one of the hardest things you will ever have to do in life, you are saying goodbye to people who are your 2nd family, and they are used to you being weird and they don't judge you for being yourself. For example, you just move into your new community you don’t know anybody you just know you as the new kid on the block sometimes the kids in your neighborhood who is Outgoing and will talk to you, on the other hand, you have no one who will talk to you. Getting used to your surroundings is tough too.

Everyday we are individually affected by the people we interact with. I have moved homes twice, once at 9 years old and again at 14 years old. Moving to a new place can be extremely nerve-racking. At times, you begin to feel alone as you walk around an unfamiliar place and see unfamiliar faces. The second time I moved, I was going into my freshman year of high school. On top of dealing with being the new kid, I had to work my way through the big transition into high school. The first day of school I walked through the halls, paralyzed by anxiety. Every face and hallway was unfamiliar. I sat down in my English class, begging for the day to be over. As I waited for the teacher to begin, a girl behind me leaned over and said, "Hello, I'm Megan.

Whether it's boxes or bubble wrap, the packing supplies themselves can quickly add up and eat into your moving budget. Start a few months before the move by heading to a local grocery store or liquor store. They always have extra boxes, and they might be willing to part with them for free. Every week, you can head to the store to get those free boxes. You could pack your entire home with free boxes if you're diligent and start early. For packing supplies like bubble wrap, use old clothing and newspapers or papers.

This last summer I learned how hard packing up everything you own into a tiny car and moving it across the country is. It was decided back in April that I would be moving up to Maryland to like with my grandmother for my senior year while my parents were back home trying to sell the house in Oklahoma. Now I had plenty of time to get everything packed up, but I am a huge procrastinator and waited until nearly 5 days before I was moving (despite my mom's nagging to get it done). But that wasn't even the whole problem. The main problem was trying to fit all of my stuff into a tiny car. This includes suitcases of clothes, two guitars, all of my things out of my bathroom, and all of my video game systems and games. It was a challenge but somehow

Relocating will not be an issue and it will also help me learn how the brand is viewed in different locations. Additionally, throughout my life, I have been under the cover of the "East Coast Bias." It will be helpful for me as either sports writer or a league or team official to understand the different dynamics around the country. I can tell you about how New York fans view sports, but that is likely very different from a person in Atlanta or Dallas. Relocating will provide the opportunity to round out my view of how sports are consumed and absorbed throughout the country and even in other countries.

9 houses. 3 states. 6 cities. Over the last 17 years of my life, my family's values and beliefs as American Muslims led us to move several times. This experience shaped my character, created my sense of home, and strengthened my identity. I was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and after a year my dad got a job in Reston, Virginia. In Virginia we moved three times, after which my older sister started attending a religious private school in College Park, Maryland. I switched to this school as well, and for a year family commuted from Fairfax to College Park everyday. With my youngest sister being only an infant, and the traffic on 495 being unforgiving, the drive was difficult and exhausting for my parents. However, we continued to attend the school because of the importance my parents placed on raising us in a religious environment where we could be proud of our traditions. This allowed me to gain pride in my religious identity. The cause of moving also impacted me.

I have lived in 5 different houses during a ten-year period of time, and most of them were very nice and in safe, social neighborhoods. I was doing very good in school, I was in the Honor Roll and the GATE Program (Gifted and Talented Education), I had quite a few friends and I was pretty happy. Then one day all of that got washed away when my parents told me the big news. We were moving again, and at first, I thought that we were just going to move to another city and that I could still be with my friends, but my parents
