Personal Narrative Essay: Moving To Indiana

Moving from the South to the Midwest was a huge change in my life. For my whole life I grew up to the southern hospitality and the tang of salt in the air since the beach was always less than 5 minutes away wherever I lived. Now I moved to a place where they flip you off to say hi, and the closest thing to an ocean is a sea of grass that seems to go on forever. Although I am now adapted to the change for the most part, it took me awhile to break in to the social norms of an average Midwest kids.

Just recently, I found out I was moving to another state. Knowing I have to leave everything behind was awful. I was halfway through eighth grade, starting the second semester, and I was doing great. My grades were all A’s and I was happy there with all my friends, Amber, Marianna, and Makayla. Our house was decent, my sister and I both had our own rooms anything I would ever wish for. My dad had been promoted to another job, where he was going to get paid more than what he was currently earning. It was an amazing opportunity for my family. I was glad for my dad, but I still felt bad for myself.

My change is about when I moved to Washington from Indiana. When my real dad dropped use off at our drop off spot. We want to a store, and got a drink. After that we started to drive away, I was so many emotions. The reasons for these emotions because I was moving closer to my family, I was losing my friends.My step-dad as driving the u hale and my mom was in the truck with me, my brothers, and my grandma was in the u hale with my step-dad. We also had a two cat's in cages and a turtle which was in a small cage with a tiny bit of water. We stopped at a lot of rest stops at first. I heard my mom say "we need gas" or " call your dad and tell him to stop there."

Many of the harsh dilemmas I encountered that were directly related to me conceding to abuse alcohol, existed well in advance of my decision to relocate to Atlanta, Ga. In fact, from what I'm able to ascertain by way of reliable sources, including my wife, is that my primary motive for leaning more towards this decision was to find help for the perils and perplexed conditions in which my life had twirled into. Initially, though I was unable to interpret the chaotic turn of events, or the uncivil behaviors I came to embrace, it appeared that everyone else around me were solely aware of them and were also jointly convinced that the only way out for me was to seek professional guidance. Their wrath about me drinking as heavily as I did were

I remember that i was five and my parents decided it was time for a change. They had decided that we were moving to Indiana with my dads family. They told use it was going to be a good change for all of us. My three brothers Jose, Monico,Luis and I didn't want to move. But since we were kids we had too. The hole way their i was crying,because i didn't want to leave. I was going to miss my family and the church people.

When we first moved to the united states, my dad has passed away and we lived a poor neighborhood in Irving. I use to have a lot of black and Hispanic friends. My mom used to be at work all the time so I and my friends use to be outside a lot. I remember this was the time during when Katrina had hit southern Louisiana and a lot of people from Louisiana had moved to Texas. Most of the people that had moved here from a low-income household, their houses in Louisiana were destroyed and did not have money to live in a hotel or motel so they moved with their family here. Crime was very high during that time in Irving for that very same reason. I remember the police use to stop us, kids, when we were just walking and search us and ask us question

Four years ago I finally got the dog I’ve always wanted. We got her at the Oshkosh Humane Society. There were two other families that wanted her,but they picked us to adopt her!

Started off with me having to move back to Indiana. First, my mom was nowhere to be found, so I wasn’t able to say good bye and that I loved her. I really wanted to be able to hug her one last time. She did the same thing when I was a kid. It made me feel unwanted all over again, so I got on the bus with nothing but 3 bags and no money.

I have lived in Indiana for most of my life and only moved a couple times and those times wernt that far. The biggest move I had was when I moved to Texas a couple years ago. When we moved down there we drove the whole way in a box truck we rented to haul our belongings. It was pretty taunting drive at times, riding in the truck. All the little thing that affected the truck that didn’t a normal car. But on the move back up it was 100 times worse.

I’m moving to Iowa. A city girl from the east coast who has never been more than 5 hours from home, has enrolled in AmeriCorps NCCC, a 10-month National Service program that develops leadership skills and performs community service all over the country.

At first I thought fathers protect you, help you, and love you, but I never knew that they ignore you for beer or even abandon you with a lie… a simple lie. To leave you, your Mom and sibling … hopeless. That was my darkest time of my life, or was it?

This year is going to be a great year because. We are going on a lot of road trips this year 2017. Like were going to mesa verde. Which is a city in a cliff in Colorado. Also I want to learn about how they survived in such harsh conditions. One last thing is this is one of the few national parks I have not gone to.

All my animals now have either died or we had to give away. I wanted some new animals, but I wanted a normal animal. I really wanted a cat, a kitten in particular. My mom knows I love animals and always love to be around animals, so she agreed to getting a kitten! I'm in school a lot now, so my mom decided next weekend we would go look for a kitten. I could not wait for that weekend to come!

My cat is Mishka and she is a Tuxedo cat. We got her last year around June. She has three brothers and she was the only female out of the kittens. Mishka was the first cat I ever had, so I went crazy. I brought her so many toys to play with.But she only really chosed one toy to play with.It was an organe mouse.

I have had pets, specifically cats, since the day I was born. Some of these cats my family bought from a family with a litter of kittens they needed to get rid of. Others we got from humane societies. Over the years, I have had 6 different pet cats, not all at once of course. Peanut was a gray tabby. Samantha was a long hair tabby. Nemo was a fat, orange tabby cat. Rory is also a fat cat, but she is black and white. Jordee is an orange tabby. Charlee is a tortoiseshell, except instead of having black as her main fur color, she has gray. The most memorable were the ones that were rescued from a shelter because we saved them from the lonely, tiny cages that they were forced to live in day in and day out. As we were looking for the most
