Personal Narrative: Moving To Indiana

I was in second grade, we were living in Searcy at the time, and I loved my home. I never wanted to leave. I felt safe there, at my home.

A lot of things have turned out differently for me than I had ever expected. I never thought that I would ever move from Illinois to Tennessee. When I was little I didn’t even expect from where I was then, to where I am now today. I won’t be talking about those events that happened, but I will be talking one that happened recently. It is about the time where my group and I thought our cheer stunt was going to hit. Nobody knew it was going to break down.

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.

In that summer prior to moving in the fall, I grew anxious and eager. My friends slowly began to move to their new colleges and I thought to myself “wow, this is really happening!” Unfortunately, my sister and I (we are twins) started school on the same day so our parents had to split up and take me to California and her to New York. My mom traveled with me and I remember us sitting in the airport waiting for our flight watching my last sunset, and she said “I am so happy for you. I know you will enjoy this.” I knew I would

Kansas City born and raised in rural Indiana, I did not live and grow up in the same house as most kids around here do. I’ve moved twice in my lifetime and couldn’t be more grateful that we did. My family has made southern Indiana our home now for the last 15 years. I’ve played multiple sports here and with each sport I made more and more friends. When I go back to the city I was born in, I think about how different my life would’ve been if my parents hadn’t decided to move. I would have never gotten the chance to wake up and be surrounded by corn fields every day. I would never have been able to ride fourwheelers in my backyard, mow grass on a riding-mower, or even have a garden. There is privacy here, whereas neighbors in the city can see

When I was about four years old my dad was still working in the military. Then one late afternoon my dad calls a family meeting in the dining room then BOOM he tells us that he got a new job offer and that we’re moving virginia. I didn't really know what that meant cause I was 4 but my sister was devastated Because she had tons of friends at school and at home and she liked it. So we packed our bags and set out to virginia.

Moving to Atlanta was a massive milestone that helped me with a lot of personal growth. I know that might not be as amazing as winning the lottery, but to me it was. Moving 20 minutes away from your old home doesn’t sound that bad right? Not until you find out that you are now living in a new district where you are welcomed into a new environment. That includes going to a new school, being in a new neighborhood and basically starting all over. My mom wanted to get away from the crowd and live in a home with more privacy. This move made me learn how to adjust to new settings.

In 2009 my family and I moved from Chicago to Dubuque. I was 6 years old when we moved to Dubuque and it has really help me to be who I am today. My family and I packed up our bags and got on the road to Dubuque. The reason we moved to Dubuque was because of my dad's work. My dad works at Bodine Electric Company as an accountant. I would say it was a really emotional move but I was only six and I probably didn’t really care. When we got to Dubuque we checked into the Grand Harbor hotel/waterpark where my sister and I had some fun in the water, after that we looked at some houses and eventually chose the one I'm still living in today.

My 7th grade year I moved to Conway, AR with my mama Monique, her husband Shane, and my three brothers Lil Shane, Manny, Eli. My dad Demontrel also lived in Conway but he stayed across town. Everything about Conway was bigger from the schools, stores, and

Everything seems like it’s falling out of place. “How did this happen?” I asked myself. Our car pulls into the driveway of our new house, and I feel like a stranger in this new town, nine hours away from the only place that felt like home. “We’re here!” my mom exclaims. My family can’t be happier to be here, but I feel like my world is falling apart. I had to say goodbye to Wisconsin, and hello to Michigan.

Moving to the United States was one of the most challenging things to do. I was forced to say goodbye to my comfort zone and travel 5,000 miles to an unknown land. At the time, I was only eight, but I remember what life was like in South America. The pain I felt while boarding the plane was unbearable; however, little did I know that moving to Indiana would help me feel closer to my family back home. Although I am from Brazil, being a part of the Hispanic Community has brought much happiness to my life. Since Portuguese and Spanish are fairly similar, I was able to fit in with the Hispanics quickly and grow unbreakable bonds with some of those kids. Whether it is because Spanish comes easy to me or because I love the culture, Spanish class

At the age of nine that is when my life really begin. My Aunt and Uncle, Dave and Betty Callis adopted me. My wonderful new parents. I lived in Georgia and moved here to Tennessee. When I moved here I lost all connection with my mom and some connections with my sisters.

It was me and my brother living in Nebraska at age 24. It was fun living in Nebraska actually because we got to see many things together like the plant my brother grew in our backyard. Only one thing came popping up in my mind though. Ever sense that weird neighbor moved in across from us our both of our parents past away. My brother got sick and needed medical help right away but then there is me Blaine Elliott. I'm the only

I was on my way to Baton Rouge, a city I knew nothing about, I knew immediately I was going to miss New Orleans. The city was so small to me very tight and very few houses, I never really adjusted to the city and I knew i wasn't going to fit in at the schools. I remember the first day of elementary like it was yesterday, it was

Welcome to the course Kyle, thats quite a break you had from from. But you took the right decision returning to school. There are several veterans out there who make the mistake of not pursueing a degree after service, and thaat usually comes back to bite them.  I think moving back to Indiana is a good idea. Since I am close to graduating,  I have been prospecting  what areas in the U.S, has  strong job markets.  Indiana, happens to be one of those locations.  Especially  since this last year or two, the job market has been good in Indiana, especially when compare to the numbers from  neighboring states. I believe you have a solid plan for your self and family good
