In my book I told the story of when I moved here from Arizona to Virginia. This event flipped my world upside down, I moved away from my family, friends, house, and the wonderful warm weather. I also had to adjust to the new climate and a new house. The making of this book has brought out the emotions of missing my friends and family that are still very far away. It has changed me personally in the way that I no longer had those friends around to shape me and I had to become more outgoing to go and make new friends. I new that we would move at some point while living in Arizona since I had already moved twice, but never imagined I would be leaving the west coast. Let alone staying out here in the same area and house for the past 10 years since
I moved to Arizona from Boston in 2014. We have moved around before, but this was different. We were going across the country. I was sad to leave everything I knew behind for someplace I didn’t really know about. We moved in July, and as August came closer and closer, I got more nervous. Would I sit alone at lunch? Would I like my teachers? As any 6th grader would be before the first day of school, I was scared and a bit nervous. I was pretty shy, always hiding myself in books. So I was relieved to find that we wouldn’t have to find our classes alone on the first day. I was dreading lunch, but I put it out of my mind. That day, in fact, I met one of my best friends. I managed to survive my first day of middle school. And the next. And the next. I even got good grades in math! I sometimes struggle, and did previously, in math.
Relocating from Florida back to Arizona was quite the journey. We went through terrible weather changes and and other dreadful like things on the trip. On the day we took off to board the greyhound we found out that the train had been experiencing some difficulties performing like the rest of them, but we had been told that the problems were fixed and that we shouldn't be worried. So we trusted in this man and what he had told us and i see now that was a big mistake, so we boarded the train took off our bags and we were all excited and could'nt wait to get back to see granny the rest of the family. Finally the train took off and the journey began I took a seat and felt relieved and calm but at the same time I felt uneasy and i just couldn't
We had been talking about moving to California for about a month, and the prospect of leaving behind my friends, school, and family terrified me. However, I clung to the hope that maybe we wouldn’t have to go in the end, but that didn’t last long. One rainy spring afternoon my parents sat my brother and I down, and excitedly told us that we would be moving to America. My younger brother leapt up from the seat next to me and joyfully danced around the room, but I was not so ecstatic. After my parents put a positive spin on the situation, I didn’t feel quite as reluctant, but I still wasn’t fully on board. Nevertheless, I had little say in the matter as my father’s work required us to relocate, and so that summer we moved to California.
It was a nice ordinary warm morning or so I thought. My mother had been thinking of moving for the past year, but she never really got around to it until that day when she told me and my younger sister at breakfast that we were moving to Idaho. I was very shocked and confused. It was only a few weeks ago that we went to visit Idaho to see if we liked the state. There were so many thoughts buzzing through my head such as what am I going to tell my friends and how much longer do I have to say goodbye to everyone before I never see them again. I also thought why Idaho, what was so special about the little potato state. I liked it in California. All my friends were here, this is where I grew up, and all our relatives lived here as well. Even though my family had moved around California many times before this move, Idaho was something new altogether.
Last January I had decided to make one of the biggest decisions of my life and move to Phoenix. Coming from Alaska this was a drastic change for me. I really didn't want to leave but I got a job offer that I just couldn't turn down. Very quickly I learned that Phoenix was as bland and boring as everyone said it would be. No nature, no weather, just buildings and bright sunny days. The first two weeks were fine, but after that I had already explored most of the area and learned that Phoenix just might be one of the most boring cities in America
Two years ago in fifth grade was a great year until one something happened, something that was not going to make the year better, but make the year worse. I was sitting in my room watching TV when mom yells from the living room, “Kandace! Can you come here please?”. I pause the show and walk out of the room and sit on the couch she looks at her phone and then at me, “ Katelynn and Andrea are moving to Arizona.” she says in a sad voice, My heart stopped. In my head, I just kept thinking It’s a joke, she is just kidding, why would they move so far away? but she wasn’t they were really moving to Arizona, and I had no idea why.

At the beginning of my 8th grade school year, I wasn't ready for change. I had lived in Crystal Lake, Illinois my whole life until l that point. I was forced to drop everything that I had held dear in that town and I moved to Highland Park, Illinois. I was frightened by the transition and this is most demonstrated in my first day at my new school. As we rolled up to the sidewalk and my

I currently for a healthcare company and I also have my own consulting business. I am excited about taking this class for many reasons, but the best reason is that upon successful completion I will have my Associate and Bachelors degree. I wish everyone a successful semester.
Please excuse me if the following content seems out of sorts or out of basis with sound logic, I was still very young (of course) and not everything can be recaptured the way I would like to. All names will be used, not used, or even changed to protect certain identities and confidentialities of said person (s) in my stories. I will occasionally be jumping back and forth in some sections of my story to help better reflect portions of my life that were forgotten as of late, or to give inference, to better explain, and give more visual elements to events that were either too bland and vague.
1,764 miles, 26 hours, 1560 minutes from home. My feet may have left the frigid snow in Minnesota ten years ago, for a sandier terrain in Florida, however, my heart has yet to travel. Growing up in Minnesota till I was six years old provided me with the comfort of growing up alongside family and friends, who’s families have known each other for generations. This comfort in my surroundings was shifted to a new sense of ignorance when I moved to South Florida. I was greeted by a new reality of diversity. My peers no longer resembled me, with their light skin, blonde hair and blue eyes. They were replaced with a medley of skin tones, eye colors, and accents. To be greeted in a grocery store with a “buenos días”, rather than a “good morning” was a complete eye opener to my family and I.

Alabama i had a very good history with the police I was never sent to court because I was a minor, I was constantly in fights and doing stuff I should not be doing, but because of the people in my life we moved to Alabama and I decided to change I took a stand and I haven’t been in a fight since then and i haven’t been in trouble with the police then, but I know if it came down to me needing to do something I would.

I was born on March 29, 2004 in Phoenix, Arizona and I lived there for a year. Then I moved to California where my little brother was born. I lived there for five years. I’ve lived here in Bethel for seven. Since I’ve lived here for most of my life, then not only have I come to love all of my friends, I’ve also come to love Bethel. This place has become my home. I’ve lived in Bethel for seven years, but I’ve only gone to school in Bethel for two years. During my time at BMS I have made so many great friends, and come to know so many people that I care about so much. Some of these people who I care about may not feel the same about me. My previous school was a Private school, and I was the popular girl there. Everyone cared about everyone,
As I peered through my front window, I began to ponder what my new life would be like in Texas. I envisioned cowboys, bulls and tumbleweeds, expecting the entirety of the state to be set like a western. My Dad was rummaging throughout the house looking for anything that we might require on our three day drive to Houston. We were leaving prior to my mother and sister because my father needed to start his new job soon and there was still much to be packed. As we loaded the last essential items into the car, I got one last look at our small house in New Jersey and couldn't help but feel anxious. I wasn't accustomed to change, but little did I know, change would soon become a prominent part of my life and ultimately shape me as a person.
