The plane ride was absolute torture. It was the longest plane ride I had ever been in, being eighteen hours total. By the time we arrived at our new home, I was exhausted, wanting to go to sleep and forget everything that happened in the past forty-eight…
My grandmother, Jeanette Flager, answered this way because of her stressful childhood. Moving several times while under a certain age can be hard. But, when those hardships passed, she was starting fresh with her family.…
During that time we lived in a studio in my grandpas house. The school i attended at the time was Dwight eisenhower elementary. Everyone thought i was a genius because i got 4 diplomas at the trimester awards while everyone got two or one. What i remember the most from living with my grandpa was every weekend he used to knock at our door at 7 am just to come talk to us. It was annoying because he wouldn't stop until we opened the door. He was always so eager to spend time with his grandkid. It was nice being the only child,but then came 2006 and i was no longer the queen of the house. Before i knew it in 2008 we had another package included into my family. Our family was growing rapidly so my parents decided to move out into a much bigger house, which is where i live today. I moved to a new school called carrillo ranch elementary. Everything was pretty smooth, no worries, no stress, and easy going such as in the beginning of a roller…
Having to pack up all of your house is a big task, depending on how many people live with you can make this task much harder. While packing you have to go through all of your things and decide if you want those items or not. Donating things is a very nice thing to do but you have to know the difference between trash and things that others can use. Transportation can be a hard thing to find unless you want to spend a lot of money on a moving truck, always have a person ready to help like your family members or friends. It is very irritating to unpack everything into a new house after you already packed all of it because you feel like you did all of that work for nothing. Moving into a new place is a struggle but like Douglas said it helps you progress with your life especially if you’re going to be living on your…
One perk was that we were only less than a mile away from school so we could walk to it.After deciding on our house we made the long haul up to the house we were currently living in which was a two level red house with two rooms but a couple extra one for office space and play rooms. We had to start packing because we would move there in a couple months. We pack every day taking breaks every now and then and we were loading up the moving van with the big stuff that needed to go down to IL first. We had some help loading by my dad's boss Greg and some of my other family members but on the day we were working it started to rain. It rained really hard and even hailed and we had to cover up our items with tarps and while moving the couch my dad leg got hurt which was bad. After the storm we finished packing up and made the trip down to Illinois.Once we got to our new house we started to unpack the two trucks with our stuff. It was a little sad to see that some of our glass mirrors and other stuff broke but in the end most of our stuff made…
Once the move became final they found places to work at.they started with a job like passing out the daily newspapers to get any money that they could to buy a home for the family. Living with our relatives began to get very hard. The small over crowded little home soon became chaotic. Full of arguing and children's tantrums and a big struggle my parents still held on tightly to this dream. Soon months began to pass like what seemed to be minutes as my parents got closer to fulfilling this dream. Then the day came that they had finally reached this dream. We all began to settle in and in the midst of that my parents were proud knowing that they have what it takes to fulfil dreams for the family's future.…
The move wasn’t that difficult for me. Sure, I was sad to leave all of my friends and my great grandmother, but there was a whole new world waiting for me up there. In 2008, we drove 12 hours, leaving New Orleans, Louisiana behind and entering our new home, Charlotte, North Carolina.…
The hour before we moved, I remember most. We had packed the last of our things up and everyone else was ready to go. But I wasn’t… I remember standing…
I still couldn't believe we moved out Dallas into San Antonio. It would still take some time for me to process this astonishing change in my life. Now and then I would dwell on the memories I had with my friends in Dallas. I'd never moved to any place before I was accustomed to being in the same old place, seeing the same people, and doing the same old thing. Moving to San Antonio was one of the biggest I had as an eleven-year-old. Once we had unloaded everything from the U-Haul truck, I was very exhausted. Moving was a tiring job, we couldn't afford to hire movers, so we all had to help with moving everything into the new apartment. I always tried to carry the heaviest things because I still wanted to prove to my mom and sister that I was the man of the…
Moving house can be a welcome change of refresh an individual’s life with new surroundings.…
It started with packing and leaving behind everything I had ever known because I had lived in just one city my whole life. It was both nerve wracking and exhilarating. The big move included a treacherous drive of over 1,500 miles from Idaho Falls, Idaho to College Station, Texas.…
Moving to northern Wisconsin as a young girl was a scary and confusing time. Having been born in Chicago, all I knew was a big city, the crowds of people, the nonstop traffic and all the noises. My home, it was the only place I knew. How could my parents make a decision like this? How could they make me move to a place I had only visited once before -- but barely remembered? The sadness I felt was so overwhelming during that transition that I told myself that if I ever had a family, I would never make them move. As an adult, many years later, I look back and almost chuckle. My family and I have moved many times, for work or family and even adventure. Now as an adult, I push my children to find adventure in every move…
The memory of my first big move is still fresh in my mind. I remember rushing to school, excited to tell my friends the news: I was moving from New Jersey to Phoenix, Arizona! After I brought my friends up to date, I proudly displayed my new disposable camera. Together we took many pictures, some of them meaningful and some comical. There were pictures of myself smiling and giggling with my friends and some of my teacher’s feet. As the moving date was slowly approaching, I began to feel resentment. I started hating the idea of moving to a new unknown place where I would have no friends. As it turned out, making new friends was not as hard as I thought because I was younger and I chose my friends superficially. However, I did have to learn to adapt to a new school and curriculum. I was not…

One significant experiance in my life has been my dad being in the Millitary. My dad was in the Millitary for a short time of one year before he decided it wasnt for him. But in that one year we moved two times. We moved from my hometown of Anacortes Washington to California. I started school and things werent that bad, I made friends and had a park right across the street from my house! life was good. But then we had to move again, to Arizona. We moved from sea side California to the Arizona Dessart. This is where I was really challanged, I didnt make friends as easy as the first move. We moved from a spacious town house with a park to a tiny appartment with no backyard. I distanced myself from my parents and everyone else in my family, I…
