If I Was Moving Here

Similar to Pearl, I moved to a new neighborhood and community, and because of how my upbringing affected what happened to me, I was forced to leave everything behind when I was very young. I moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, from Northern Kentucky when I was nine years old. My school, my friends, my coaches, and my teammates were all things I had to give up and leave

Leaving my home in Hawaii and moving to Oregon was one of the hardest things for me to do. Maybe I would have felt better about it if my parents had asked me for my opinion before picking up our lives and moving to some place I had never even heard of before. I know I shouldn’t have cared that much. After all, I was only a 1st grader and even now my parents don’t consider how I’d feel before making decisions, so why would they then? At the end of 2007, I said goodbye to my best friends for the last time and left for Oregon.

My upsetting times they were bad and it was usually something that involved moving but not always like the time I had to move from Virginia to South Dakota I didn’t know what I would do there I didn’t know whether if I would have fun and I didn’t know a lot of people. I also didn’t know what there was to do so I usually just stay away from moving if possible. I especially hated changing schools because I did not know their rules so you are trying to adjust to the rules and you usually break one then you continue to learn about the rules.

Everyone has to face a hard decision in their lifetime. Some are just a yes or no decision some are life changing decisions. One of my hardest decision in life was to either go to Westlake High School or Saint Ignatius.

It was June of 2013 and I was in my room cooling, watching “Good Luck Charlie”. My mom came into my room saying that she was ready to move out of New York. Obviously I did not want to move out of the city I was born in. My mom never liked living in New York, so she always thought about moving. So the plan was to move in August. Time went by and I was thinking about what North Carolina would be like. I really wasn’t thinking about the friends I was leaving in Brooklyn, that never crossed my mind.

I should have known that we were going to move. We had started to spend more time up in DC. My grandma had just received her second, total knee replacement surgery, so I thought that we were going up there to

When I was about 11 years old I moved to Canton Michigan from Las Vegas Nevada. It was a dramatic change in my life. Not only is it quite a distance from Nevada. But there was also a different outcome that were made from the people to the weather and not being able to see my dad anymore.

Moving all the way to Texas, has had a significant impact on my life. For the first time I was living by myself. Every decision I make is my alone. This was and still is a test of self-discipline. While my parents weren't overly controlling, there isn't any outside factor influencing my decisions. I, and

My Father is an Air Traffic Controller in the military and he had been given word that he had been given orders to move from Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage, Alaska to Eglin AFB in Niceville, Florida in two months. I remember when my parents told me that we were moving. I was sitting in the living room with my sister when my Dad and Mom came and joined us to break the news. Once they sat down I could tell something was wrong, I could feel my heart racing and the temperature rising. Once they said the words, “we are moving to Florida” I could feel my heart sink because that meant going to a new school, new friends and no more spending time with my family. Alaska was my home and I never thought we would leave. I was scared for what the future held, but I had no idea that it would make such an impact on my life and shape me into the person I am today.

When my wife and I were just starting out in 2008 we considered where to live for the best possible jobs and most reputable school for raising our future kids. At the time we both were looking for a home to buy, but were very jaded by the experience of her parents. They had a beautiful large home in Maine, where my wife had grown up her whole life. A year before our wedding they found out the cost of the mortgage was going up significantly and in that same time went into foreclosure proceedings. It was then that the four of us, my in-laws, my wife and I decided to move together to another state and start over. I can remember clearly packing up that warm, welcoming home into a moving truck and waving farewell to a place full of fond memories.

Back in Grenada where I grew up, there were limited options academically and financially. So my mom and I decided to move to the US. At the age of 13, I knew it would have been a tough transition. Whether it was academically or socially, adapting to the New York way of things was probably the toughest challenge I have endured.

Saying goodbye to all my friends in the old street was the hardest part. My best friend at the time was really upset about me moving away so I spent the last day before the move with her in her room watching movies and talking.

So far in my life I have moved eight times and been to twelve different schools. I’m not talking about just moving houses. I’m talking about eight times, packing all of my things and moving to a whole different state. In all this I have learned the most important quality that anyone needs to get through all of the hardships and changes in moving. That quality is courage.

There has been many presidents that have came in and out of the office. Many presidents run for United States president for various reasons. FDR ran for president to try and end the Great Depression that Ronald Reagon put our nation in. He wanted to make a change in the economy others might of wanted to make a change in our money value. If I became president I would focus on the more important issue which cop violence and brutally.

Moving back to Cleveland was one of the best decisions I made because it has brought me to this moment in time. In moving home I decided that I wanted to go back to school. Since my accident, wanting to become a nurse is something I’ve grown very fond of and in moving home I’ve accomplished part of that goal. I have everything I need and all the support to be successful in school and that is my main
