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. Moving out on my own was a very scary task. I finally made up my mind to obtain a place for my daughter and myself; I was twenty five years old. Previously, I was living with my mother and father …show more content…
It was only a ten minute drive to our new location. I picked the town of Selma because I was not ready to switch my daughter’s school. So I still would be able to take her to school every day just as I did before we moved. My aunt gave me a gently used couch, and of course, I rented a bedroom suite and television from one of the local rental places. My daughter had a bed and a dresser in her new room, now we were all set for our new place. She was so excited to have her own room; we previously slept in the same room from her birth. Pink curtains, a pink fuzzy throw rug and a purple comforter, all were her choices for her brand new room. She took her box and unpacked her clothes, and she hung them up neatly in her new closet. The rest she neatly placed them in her clean white dresser. This was a room fit for a princess, my …show more content…
My daughter immediately began packing her stuff; she was going back to her Nana’s house. After packing what I felt was important and securing the backdoor as well as we could, we left and went back to my mom’s house. The next day I called the owner and told him I was moving back home. I felt defeated and taken advantage of. Not taken advantage of by the owner, but just in general, by life. I asked the two neighbors closest to me if they had notice anyone around my place the day before, but no one saw anything. The elderly man that was normally sitting outside by his fence was at the hospital with his wife all day. The male who lived directly next door stated he worked all night so he was sleeping the majority of the day. So we packed what was left of our items and just like that we were back home, back in my childhood room. We were going back to where we felt secure and protected. It was a short experience, but it showed me how looks can be deceiving and sometimes we don’t always make the right choices at the right time. I felt so vulnerable, but at the same time I felt I was meant to go through that situation so that I could appreciate what I had. It wasn’t about being an adult or being on my own, but being able to protect what I loved and cared the most about. I loved my shoes, especially my Nike Air Jordan’s to be
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.
Moving can be a pain in the neck! Everyone can relate to this. The pain has spread to my entire body as i was moving halfway across the world alone!! My two roommates, Luna and Lotus weren't coming along because they wanted to enjoy living in Italy a little while longer. I already got sick and tired of Italy. I was pretty excited when we first moved to Italy. However, the spark died fast because i already knew the place like the back of my hand. Lotus wanted to stay because she wanted to buy for own trip. Luna had enough money for own trip, but she always took forever to pack her stuff up.
When we first moved into our new house we had many set goals for the land/house. That the land we owned would be cared for mowed,baled,cut etc… when we first bought our house, it originally came with 7 acres on it then after about 2 years when I was 11 Jacob was 14 and Justis was 9 we bought 4 more acres right across our house and we now had another goal in mind. We stepped out,grabbed a wrench,and that's when we saw the giant black clouds. Driving down the field you could hear the clonk clonk clonk miles and miles away. That first summer of bailing we had the help of several high schoolers that my dad had taught and coached in football. The first time dad had told me he wanted me to drive and i was 11 and I was terrified. Now I feel like I know the tractor on a personal level!
The experience of moving so much has helped me become less introverted throughout my life. My dad’s job had caused my family to move multiple times. Moving is difficult for me because I have always been shy and quiet, which creates an uncomfortable situation when it comes to making friends and learning new things. I never thought moving to a new town could change a person so drastically, and I don’t if I’d be the same today if I hadn’t moved so much.
My mother had to decide whether she wanted to put her life on hold for her two children. She had to rationalize staying in our hometown as a single mother, or moving in with her parents to give her children a better life. She deliberated the outcome of both possibilities and assured herself that moving in with her parents would be the right choice.
In the late summer of 2008 was the day the word got out. My parents were fed up with our house in California and it was time we moved on to a better house. The day went on looking for places to go when all of a sudden the phone rings and it's my uncle.
When I was 4 years old my dad got a new job in Maryland. Since I was so young I did not understand what was going on, all that I knew was I would not be living in my house next to my best friends and I will be living in Pennsylvania. When it came time to move, we went into a town house because our house was currently being built. It was mid kindergarten school year when I finally moved into the house I am living in now. I barely remember this moving since I was so young and there was barely anything I could do to help.
When my family first moved to Austin Texas, my dad became involved in a series of real estate projects that mainly involved moving houses onto one lot, renovating them, and renting them out. He took me along on more than one occasion when he went to visit the sites, and one of the coolest experiences I can remember was watching them move a house onto the back of a wide truck. It was a slow and steady process that took hours, and I admit it was a bit boring at times (I may have wandered off once or twice) but I remember thinking how darn cool it was once it was finally done. Watching this, and later meeting the tenants who lived there was one of the first things that sparked my interest in seeing things be built, and my desire to one day help to build them myself.
When I was three years old we moved to our current home in Hartford South Dakota. The only thing that was left for our to keep in our new home was an old Piano. After a few weeks of being settled in my mom would often be kept up at night with people being loud out side. She described the voices sounding like they were always just right outside our house on the street. She would just try to ignore it and go back to sleep. But one night they voices were way louder, but they conversations weren't so clear where she could make out what they were saying. It was mostly mumbling. She got out of bed and looked out side but there was no one outside, but voices got quieter. That is when she noticed it sounded as if they were coming from the vent on the floor, like from the down stairs. By brother, who was 7 or 8 at the time had his room in the basement so she thought to her self maybe he just had something playing in him room, would be very weird at this time of night, but its a possibility.
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
About ten years ago my 3 year old son and I moved into a new house. Well, it was new to us, but it was actually a very old house. The inside of the house always seemed to be just a little darker and a little colder than it should be. I had noticed that the first time I went to view the house but as it was summer I figured it would save on cooling costs.
Growing up I never imagined I would find myself in the United States of America. I envisioned myself living in Cameroon and occasionally travel to various other countries. All thanks to my mom, I found myself moving to the USA at the age of 15 years. At that time, I had no idea my life will change drastically. I went from living more a comfortable life to struggling with my parents in a bedroom of an apartment. Starting a new life was very hard to take in, but I am thankful for a hard working mother, determined to make the best out of our new lives. In the process, I slowly began to shape into the person that I am today.
The police just don’t care; I think that’s my new view on them right now. All they do is okay you to death so you stop asking them questions. Personally, I think that in itself should be a law, not properly helping people who need it. It kind of is their job to fight for justice and make the world a better place and what not. So, where are they when a woman who was attacked a few months ago and is pregnant has someone who is literally stalking her?
In the fourth grade my parents had decided to move from O‘ahu to Hawai‘i. The transition and problems that arose from moving had caused not only myself difficulties, but my entire family. Moving meant selling our home in Waimanalo, a house that was legally under my father and his five siblings. According to my understanding, the house must be sold by all six siblings agreeing as well as my grandfather. Because my grandfather did not want to move out of the house he, and my father began a long fight that would wound the entire family for years. At the time, I was young and did not understand everything about moving. Decisions were made and my family chose sides in a fight that only recently was forgiven. Moving not only gave me difficulties in leaving my home, friends, and family behind but also the transition of moving.
Growing up as an only child, I was very fearful to try new things. My parents have always been very protective because they only had one child to worry about. Since my parents we very protective, I was raised in a very closed environment. I wasn’t allowed to go out past eight in the afternoon on the weekends and I was not allowed to go to sleepovers until I was 14. My departure to Memphis was like a bird leaving the nest for the first time. I lacked the strength to be on my own, but I would soon learn how to take care of myself away from home.
