The Life Of My Life

Since 2012, I have moved 3 times. The first move was definitely the hardest of all the moves. My entire life was turned upside down right before high school. I was happy to move, but it was a complete change. I had to relearn how to live, and I suddenly had to be the one to care for my younger siblings.

Have you ever moved? I have and It’s hard, packing up and moving along with leaving any friends or family behind. Moving to a place you only visit once a year is, though, also I have only seen a small part of this state, the area by my grandma’s house. The summer of 20ll was a rough time. It was the year we moved from Florida to Kansas because my mom found a better job.

I walked outside the next morning feeling great. The bright vibrant sun shone on the freshly mowed grass. I loaded into my sister's car and we went off to school. The day passed extremely rapid,

Moving around from town to town happened quite often when I was younger. I always mirage living in one house my whole life and never having to know the feeling of leaving good friends behind. The move from Michigan to Illinois was definitely the most arduous. Elise, one of my best friends, had been with me from the first day I walked into Rummer Elementary to when we were crying on my porch the day before I left Michigan three years later. I expected this to be the last time we saw each other. I had done this enough that I realized she would move on or the six hour drive would keep us separated till we eventually gave up. My mother promised me it would be different this time, I thought she was only trying to keep me from becoming an misanthropist,

But, in the end I learned that moving can be good, too. I am lucky I had Mrs. Tessena, Tori, my swim coach and my friends in Ohio. I am also lucky that I moved to North Carolina because I learned that it is perfect here, too.

The most difficult time i have faced was when I moved from Texas. I was born in San Antonio, Texas and I lived there for about 6 years. San Antonio was so much fun just because y enitre famly lived withing 10 minutes of each other. Then, we had to move to Midland, Texas, that move was not very hard just because i was so young so i was not ery attatched to things and people around me, besides my family. We lived in Midland for about 4 years after that and it was my favorite town. The people the energy of the people there was so awesome I loved it. Then one day we got the call that had to move again. We were already pretty far from our family and so to learn that we had to move even farther was devistating. So thats when we had to leave the state

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.

It was June of 2013 and I was in my room cooling, watching “Good Luck Charlie”. My mom came into my room saying that she was ready to move out of New York. Obviously I did not want to move out of the city I was born in. My mom never liked living in New York, so she always thought about moving. So the plan was to move in August. Time went by and I was thinking about what North Carolina would be like. I really wasn’t thinking about the friends I was leaving in Brooklyn, that never crossed my mind.

Moving is common to do among people, but moving to a different state is nerve wracking. I was sad to know I was leaving my home behind for good. But I was even more excited to see what my future held in Colorado. There was nothing to do in Arizona and no one to hang out with. Moving state is a very important turning point in my life.

There are an abundant amount of ways to alleviate the feelings of anxiety. While this may not be a assumingly effortless task, it is entirely possible. For me personally, I lay down and focus on my breathing. "Deep diaphragmatic breathing is a powerful anxiety-reducing technique because it activates the body’s relaxation response"(Deibler and Tartakovsky). Other ways that are claimed effective are accepting that you are anxious, using calming visualization, and positive self talk,(Tartakovsky). There are often times when an individual suffering from anxiety will be prescribed

Nobody likes moving at least I know I don't. We we're living in India and I was in fifth grade when we moved. We moved into our house in India when I was one year old. Was going great I had a lot of friends. My best friend was my neighbor every day after school we would go to a park in our colony.

When my dad and stepmom began talking about moving, I didn’t think much of it. They had moved a lot, so I admit I wasn’t really worried about it. Where they were living then, was my favorite out of all the places they had lived because it was right down the road from my mom’s house. It was easy for my sister, Kelcey, and I to go visit our dad, stepmom, and little sister, Kyra. We could literally just walk, before I had a car, over there almost whenever we wanted. But, that changed when they started talking about moving again.

As I look back in the past, I could not be happier with the decision of moving because I wouldn't have the great group of friends I have now. I also couldn't think my parents, family, friends, and church members who influenced me for the seventeen years of my life. They gave me the encouragement to continue to work hard even if life got rough. I couldn't be happier to start college next Fall and see what great things are going to happen in my

After researching many different websites almost all website gave a list of ways to reduce or prevent having anxiety all together. First thing to do is laugh it off. Sounds a little odd right? Well let me explain. When the body laughs even if it is a fake laugh the body instantly releases a chemical known as Dopamine. This chemical is a "feel good" chemical. It is the chemical that makes the human body feel more cheerful. Thus allowing the anxiety to calm down. The second thing on the list is to have a scheduled relaxation time. Throughout the day the body tends to become tense and can become extremely stressed some days. In order to reduce the tension, and stress levels it is best to set a time aside to have relaxation time. Allow the body to relax for at least thirty minutes by taking slow deep breaths, and allowing all the problems to just be gone for those thirty minutes. The next step is to read a book, practice yoga, or even just drinking tea. Allowing the body to relax even just for a short while will allow tension and stress to be majorly reduced. The third and final thing to reduce anxiety is to eat healthy. Have someone ever told you the saying " you are what you eat?" Well that is actually

The idea of moving to a different state or country can be terrifying for most people. I know for me it was. I was born and raised in New Jersey and had a decent job. Life was going great for me; at least that is what I thought. I had a lot of friends and family that had been around me my whole life. Moving away from all of this was not an option for me, until I got married and had children. By the time my daughter hit five years old, I was rushed to make a decision that would change my life forever. I had to decide whether I wanted her to go to school in New Jersey or Key West. This meant leaving my friends and family behind, and somehow depriving my children from growing up around their family.
