Personal Narrative: Moving Away From Ohio
I just moved here and I am starting to regret my decision of moving here from Ohio and the big problem is my kids were just starting school. It’s terrifying all because this stupid lot a crossed the street that is full of trash that smells terrible all the time like something died. I’ve only lived here for about a month and my apartment stinks like a wet dog and I can’t get rid of it. Most of the time I grab my Febreze and use the whole can but it only smells like roses for about an hour. So the next day I decided to do something about it because it was starting to drive my family crazy. It was about may and it had a little breeze and I wanted to keep my window open, but I couldn't because of the terrible stench. So the next day I went to the vacant lot and started to pick up the trash. As I opened one of the bags and it was so wet,gross,smelly and Almost made me throw up. So I went home and started to call some …show more content…
The next day I got on the phone with the health department to talk about the trash. As they put me on hold for about 4 hours I went to pick up more trash and got the homeless man some food for the night. The next day I called the capital and they put me on hold as well. So I went to the health department for myself and they told me to wait so I got some of the apartment owners to speak to them with me. By the time it was almost time for us most of the apartment owners left. So when we did get in there we talk about the smell that fills our houses. How the environment isn’t green or grass won't even grow.About all the plants that we are growing and how they're dying because of all the trash. When we were talking they said they talk to me about what they decided to do about the trash in the morning. Then we got the news and they were headed her to our neighborhood to get rid of that routine stink, disgusting filth and wet trash out of the vacant

    I am a godparent of an 8-year-old little girl. Before I moved to Houston our bond was tight and still is even though we are miles away. Every day we talk or Skype on the phone. When she has homework that she does not understand she will Skype me and we will do her homework together. Every summer for two weeks she comes to see me or I will go home to see her. As much as I can, I step in and provide when her mother needs help. As she gets older I am sure our connection will continue to grow.…

    In my freshman year, I went to Ohio Mission Trip, which was led by Mrs. Lundquist. While I had an amazing life experience through volunteering, I was able to become closer to my friends and upper classmen. Darby and Sydney Lundquist also joined the trip, and they shortly introduced me about Washington and Lee University. I assumed the college should be very advanced since they were well-known for their excellence in intelligence and sports. This year I attended a college meeting with Mr. Webster to get to know more about the college. It was a great opportunity for me to grasp a big picture of the school as well as more specific details of admissions. I immediately fell in love with the school as Mr. Webster explained about the school in detail.…

    When I moved to New York to live with my dad, my life and ethics took a major turn. Many things changed, from school, to sports, to even the way I dressed. The people are different, the culture is different, and the way people talked was even different. The reason these changes had to be made was because of the black population in Virginia, they were all very gangster, and the New York population were mainly white, not that I have a problem with blacks, but they were very rude and inconsiderate. I am not racist at all, just people there are ignorant. In Virginia where I used to live, it was considered the ghetto part of my town, so I had to look, and act the part. But in New York where I live now, it’s the total opposite, a much more civil and calm town. I had to make so many changes to my life to adjust to the way people live In New York compared to Virginia. Not only the people and the culture, but my family in New York has a completely different way of living, by that I mean how they look at things, what’s right and what’s wrong in their eyes (I moved from Virginia to New York in 2007, when I was around 12 years old, in 7th grade). After the move life went forward, I got better grades…

    I am a current student at James Madison University and I am from the City of Richmond. Even though I am attending college in Harrisonburg, Virginia, I am still concerned about the things that go on in Richmond. While riding in a car or sometimes walking through the City of Richmond, I couldn’t help but notice the increase of homeless people. They are considered the lowest of the lows because their home is the streets and their clothes are unclean. They are treated as if they aren’t human, attacked and looked down upon as if they don’t have a right to happiness, monetary funds, material possessions, or a warm place to call their own. It’s evident they have taken over places that once were filled with beautiful scenery because they have nowhere to go. All in all, something has to be done with the increase rate of the homeless people occupying the City of Richmond.…

    The first place I would pick to move to is the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Everyone forgets about this part of Michigan, half of the time it isn’t on the weather maps on the news. I think it would still be hard because I would have to pick up my life and transfer it to another world. At this point I understand that I would have to give up the luxuries I love so much. I would keep my phone but I cannot take my entire bedroom, my car, or my school with me. I know a lot of my family would stay put. They would suffer through it because they wouldn’t believe it until it was actually happening. My mother’s side of the family is very old fashioned and will not leave their ground because they have already been here so long and have worked so hard.…

    No one could reach the maximum ability when he or she is uncomfortable. For me being, comfortable means being at home. After living for two years in Boston, leaving it has been one of the hardest decisions I have made. However, I could not stand the idea of staying out of that city, so I decided to come back as soon as I could. As a result, I started looking for schools in Boston to transfer to that had my major. One of the schools I found was Wentworth institute of technology, a university that I have been accepted to, but I could not study there because I did not fulfill the condition, which was a 79 or higher in TOEFL. Thus, I decided to apply to Wentworth Institute of Technology, so I could go back to the place I belong. Also, I chose…

    We finally moved to North Carolina and I was devastated. I felt like I had to leave behind all of the friends I had just started formulating deeper bonds with. I felt like I had to start over from scratch with making friends and I missed Khalif; and finding out that he contacted me the night before we moved and I missed his call, didn't make things any easier. I never told him I was moving when I found out. I figured since we wasn’t together anymore, why bother. He found out my last day of school because my best friend and I were crying, and another student went back and told him. He approached me before the day was over, and wanted to know why I didn’t tell him I was moving. After we talked, he gave me a hug. I didn’t expect him to try to contact me that night. I didn’t find out he had called until my family and I were well in NC and I checked the caller ID box.…

    I live in a small apartment in the middle of town. The apartment that I lived in was a quite nice three storey apartment with two flats on each storey. I have mostly got nice neighbours besides for one who I have never seen before who lived on the same storye as me. One day I was wondering if anyone else new who lived in the apartment next to mine, but no one seemed to know. Suddenly, a lot of thoughts were going through my mind. Maybe he is a terrorist. Maybe he is a thief. Or maybe he was just a normal human being. I just didn’t know what to do and how to find out who lived in this apartment. I shared my thoughts with my other neighbour and he felt the same as I did; frightened, nervous, suspicious and apprehensive. We just didn’t know what to do.…
