Adaption, moving from one state to another, migrating like a bird but not just for season. Forced to live in a place at never even got to visit. Take the time possibly every two months to see the only family I have. Squeezing in a few minutes to spend time with friends I used to see five days a week. Remodeling my attitude, my whole lifestyle, because my dad received a job offer that doesn't even pay better that is first. Money was tight, making two house payments because no one would purchase our old house, but we needed to move for the start of school. I cried so much the day I left the place I knew as home. I felt as if life was over, forced to wear a mask, act as if I had to be okay with this transition just to make my dad happy. I struggled to fit in, only gaining attention because I was the new girl from Texas. Seeking to find a friend who I could confide myself in, express how my day was with, and spend time together with on the weekends. In lieu, I sat alone in my room deviating from the social media app to the other and scrolling through every tweet, picture, or blog. Staying at home every night while others …show more content…
I told myself to be confident, something I still have problems with, but it helped. I let go of the mask that made me seem like I had no problems and in doing that, some of my problems went away. I made friends that benefited me rather than a hurt me. In January I created a bond that could never be broken, I was given a best friend who would make sure I would never turn to my dark moments. I did things for myself and realized that I didn't always have to please others. I was growing as a person and always remembered that there is a positive in the negative. I made friendships, fell in love and had many different experiences that I will never forget. Although I went through such a hard time, I wouldn't give it up for the world. Through all the pain and the struggling, it has been a
One of biggest unknowns I have faced in life would most likely be the time I moved to a different state for the first time. I was from a particularly hot state and that state was Georgia, to a colder state up north which was Indiana. Even though I live in Georgia know I am originally from Indiana and I moved from there when I was 2 months years old. I remember this summer because there was a heat wave that summer and my mom, my brother, and I were staying with my grandma who didn't have A/C.
One of the hardest things for me is moving to Georgia. I was going to miss my grandma, dad, and my sisters. The trip was long and hot it. There were five of us in the car plus a We were almost out of gas and there wasn’t a gas station for miles I was terrified then we finally made it. We were living
Many factors influenced me to choose Victoria as the choice over NSW, like cost of living, culture, transportation, safety and people. Now a days NSW became too much crowded and mechanical.
The aspect that related to me the most this week was the chapter on relocation. My relocation was actually pretty self-centered in that I wanted to be close to my family after having a child. I remember growing up in Kankakee and coming back for a year after undergraduate studies and having big dreams for the city of Kankakee, but none of these dreams were involved with my decision to move back. When Perkins opens up with the chapter of relocation there is a statement that stood out to me in regard to this matter. “Of the three R’s that anchor the guiding philosophy of the Christian community development movement, relocation is clearly the most distinctive and troublesome.” (Perkins, 75) Relocation to the Kankakee area was easy, because
and not be here tomorrow cause I got to move i'm getting all my stuff back and all that cool stuff well I was really disappointed when my mom didn't sign the hoverboard so I could ride it hopefully I will get my xbox back today our house is pretty big my room is a bit smaller than the old one but they look the same I hope this day goes fast school is so boring and games are cool rgh xbox no one no what that even means it is like a modded xbox and you could hack the games and have mod menus and all that cool stuff it is really hard to do i looked up like 50 videos on how to do it and I finally figured it out it take a while to do but it's worth it and it is fun but if you know my house burned down.
A challenging situation I had faced was moving with my family from North Carolina to Virginia. My parents told me that we were moving due to my stepdad retiring from the military and finding a new job in Virginia. We had been living in North Carolina for seven and a half years so I had spent most of my life in that small town. I was twelve at the time, so when my parents told me we were moving I remember I cried because everything I knew was there. All my memories and friends had been made in that place and I did not want to leave that. I think everything happens for a reason and that this was meant to provide a new experience. Also from that situation, it gave me a better understanding of myself. It brought me closer to my family, showed me
When I found out I was going to have to move with my dad in California soon that news hit me like some bricks. My dad was more like a fucking sperm donor than dad, he sent money here and there but everysince he got remarried I hardly ever saw him. Don't get me wrong he wasn't a dead beat ass dad but his absence sure as hell wasn't appreciated. "Ma" I called real loud from upstairs in my
People often hear or maybe seen on the news of houses being broken into. We do our best to protect ourselves and our families from the unenviable happening. We have locks, we purchase alarm systems and other forms of defense to keep strangers out and our possessions in. When I woke up on Tuesday, April 6th, 2011, I never imagined someone would come inside of my home and ramble through my things and take from me whatever they wanted. If I could have seen into the future, I would attempt to change the minds of the guys who broke into my apartment.
As I swing back and forth in the wind I wonder,”why can’t I move?” I try to look around but, there is absolutely no use. That’s when I heard it, the screams of kids and laughing of adults. I thought,”wow it must be someone's birthday, but why am I hear,”. I couldn’t see but i heard everything. I heard the kids screaming and wishing for cake and candy, while parents refused and said,”later,”. I heard the kids playing their games. It was something called “tag”, what is that. These games went on four and hour or so until I heard what seemed to be the mother call out,”okay kids it's piñata. I thought,”oh, what’s a piñata,”. I sat there waiting to find out but, I was hit. It didn’t hurt a lot but it scared me. I was hit again and again. I wish I
The prenatal period is the period between conception and birth. During this period it usually takes between 266 days to 288 days. Throughout the prenatal period the child is likely to grow around 20 inches and can weigh an average of seven pounds. Most importantly the prenatal period is divided into three different periods. The first period is the germinal period, which is the shortest period, lasting from conception to the end of the second week. Furthermore, the germinal period is very important, because in this period a linkage is created between the zygote and mother. More importantly, within a few hours after fertilization, mitosis occurs dividing the zygote into 32 different cells. After undergoing mitosis the zygote turns into a blastocyst containing 32 cells. The blastocyst will rapidly grow and will become surrounded with membranes that provide nourishment and protection. The cluster of cells that compose the blastocyst is the inner cell mass, which produces the embryo. The amnion membrane will actually enclose the embryo, while the chorion will form the trophoblast, which will form the placenta. At the very end of the germinal period the inner cell mass will separate into three different layers. The outermost layer is the ectoderm layer, which forms the nervous system. The middle layer, the mesoderm forms the skeletal, circulatory, and muscular systems. The innermost layer is the endoderm, which develops into the digestive tract. In the end the once
It was a dark and stormy night in 1912 in Anyksciai, Lithuania, in a village and of course by mom and sister had to be fighting. So I walked to my room stomping!
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
The Global human population increases growth amounts to around 75 million annually, or 1.1% per year. The global population has grown from 1 billion in 1800 to 7 billion in 2012. It is expected to keep growing, and estimates have put the total population at 8.4 billion by mid-2030, and 9.6 billion by mid-2050. Many nations with rapid population growth have low standards of living, whereas many nations with low rates of population growth have high standards of living.
I am ready to move out, ever since I was growing I wanted travel and find out what my purpose is in life. I am healthy bacterium with a body shaped like an S and I have many tails (Hobbs et al., 1996). Today was the day I felt like I was destined somewhere else. All of a sudden I found myself swept and in a wet, cramped cave (Delahay and Rugge, 2012).I am surrounded by other types of creatures, I look around, I see white rocks, a wild pink worm tossing everything around towards the back. At the back there’s a pendulum hanging moving left to right. I knew that I had head towards the pendulum, my tails start tingling, and my body is starts to move. As I move closer to the pendulum I see a dark hole I panic and turn the other way; (Momtaz et al
It hurts to go on but sometimes it hurts more, to hold on.” Moving away from my friends, family, and at my young age it felt like losing the only life I'd ever know. When I look back on it, it still hurts, but when I look to the future, that pain goes away.Moving four hours away from my family, friends, and the only life I've ever known hurt, but life goes on.
