Personal Narrative: Moving Home

Nobody really likes to move. At least, I know I don’t. We were living with my grandparents in Tashkent when I was in second grade. We moved into our house in Manhattan when I was about 9 years old. Life was going great. I had lots of good friends that I had been around for a lot. I really liked where we were living and I did not want to leave what I had always known.

I felt that my parents dragged me to a place where I didn’t want to be. The three of us moved to NYC, and the first three months we were all compacted into one single bedroom, trying to start a new life. It was a drastic change from the way we lived back in Colombia, each having their own separate bedroom.

Additionally, moving to a new place allows adults to automatically start learning more about their new habitat and the area and culture around them. All of these positives, however, only come from the perspective of adults that are making the move by choice instead of the perspective of children who are forced to move. That element of choice is significant to having a positive moving experience, and children are often denied that sense of agency during a

Initially, I believe my parents suffered the most from this move because they no longer had the security of owning a home and their income had decreased substantially. They both had to work full-time to make ends meet. More importantly, all of our social connections with relatives and friends were gone.

The reason we had to move was because the school that i was currently going to was to expensive and we couldent afford it and the the school that we would be switching me to was free.Another reason was my uncle was going to get married and we knew that he would need some space and after all we had been staying in his house for a couple of years and figured that he would like some space for himself for a change. My Moms work was also a problem

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.

My family and I have moved a total of seven times. Big number, I know. With moving came a lot of hectic airplane rides, destroyed friendships, and well, meeting new individuals. The main reason for my family moving each time was my dad, who is a computer engineer. Because he’s an excellent computer engineer, he always got promoted; he was an expert at his job. Whether it was for, a new company or position, it wouldn’t matter because my family always followed him.

And I didn’t always know the struggles my family went through, but initially moving there… I was a kid! I was excited about moving into a bigger house, with a bigger bedroom. And not be in a apartment anymore.

About two months into the school year, the move was definitely happening. My mother went up and found the house. She picked the fastest house she could get which was something she regretted the whole time we lived there. The giant moving trucks were in from our Florida house. I remember giving the people that would soon be living in our house ice cream. It was weird to resay goodbye and reassure people that it was real this time. I would not be coming back from the dead

Last year I moved to Mount Vernon, Washington. My house is in a housing complex with other house, which means there is lots of neighbors that surround my home. When describing the geography of a home or any other place there are five main ideas. These ideas are location, place, region, movement, and human-environment interaction.

    Since kinder garden, I was always moving with my mom and sisters but in 2013 my mom found someone and so once again we moved. It was a bigger house since he had six kids and my mom had three about to have a fourth. So after she had a baby (the love of my life even though that's irrelevant)  we had to move again. But not because we had another kid in the house it was

For your parents, this is about more than moving. It is about admitting that this stage of their life is over, and that they are moving onto a new stage, in a smaller

Fear, anxiety, disappointment, these feelings were racing through an 11-year-old boy as he anxiously started to think about the rather frightening couple of weeks that he had ahead of him, and what this boy was going through is an experience that most people go through at some point in his life. This young boy was leaving all his friends, and is moving to a new home; and in 2011 this young boy was me. I moved to the small town of Troy in Virginia from a town called Wise in North Carolina in August 2011, and this happened less than a week before the county school system was scheduled to come back from summer vacation. When school started I was forced to take on the task of settling into a new community and school system. and I had to do this

My family was lucky when it came to the moving aspect. They only moved states three times. Once after they married from Texas to Arizona

I am fortunate enough to be blessed with such a family that has been able to make friends wherever we have moved. And believe me, we have done a lot of moving. Though we always stayed in the same little town, I dreaded it. Dreaded the packing, the strangeness and the weariness that came from moving. It was tough to be completely jerked free from our home every few years, but it also came with the thrill of a new beginning.
