Personal Narrative: Moving Back Home
I am moving out of my mom’s house today and into the upstairs apartment of my grandmothers. My cousin just moved out from there so I actually lucked out with that space. I unfortunately don’t really have a choice, as my sister who just had a baby is moving back in with my mother and there really just isn’t space anymore. My sister was living with Oregon with her boyfriend and his three other kids with her three month old and I guess she just couldn’t do it anymore and was in a horrible situation but that lead to me needing to either to share a room with my sister and her newborn or leave. I choose to leave as my mother runs a home daycare and it was hard to be back home to that, work part-time, and be in school full-time. I couldn’t imagine

    When I was 10, I moved to Boston to live with my mom, and brother and sister. At first, I had a lot of anxiety thinking about what my father had done to me. I would try to hide it from my mom, but she could tell. It was great to be back with my brother and sister. Over time I became less anxious and less angry and I started to become interested in computers ever since we got separated, things that did not exist for my sins I was way playing with my brother and my sister.…

    After I took the MCAT in June, my life became a little hectic. Besides for completing applications, my parents decided to move to Israel. I was the only child living at home, so they desperately needed my help. We had to empty the house, get rid of all the clutter, and pack the rest of it onto a container. The house needed to be sold, so while packing, we had contractors work on the house. Personally, I was moving to Brooklyn and had to find a job and a place to live. There were many challenges. For Example, the contractor painted the bathroom door, but would not take responsibility when it didn’t close. As of now, I am sleeping on my sister’s floor and trying to finalize a part-time teaching job. I have learned how to remain calm though stressful…

    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.…

    As a child I have always wanted to help other people.When I was 8 my parents decided to separate. At the time, my mother decided to move my sister and I away from Chicago. My mother packed our luggage and decided to move us to Detroit. That wasnt the only time we moved, we moved four times while I was growing up, all over the country and even to another continent. Eventually we had to leave our mom in Nigeria and my sister and I went to Detroit. When we got to Detroit my aunt didn't hesitate to make us feel comfortable. It was just something about it,I still didn't feel right. I called my mother one day crying to her and explaining how we didn't like being there. After talking to her, I felt that it was time to go back to Chicago. I called my dad, (knowing I haven’t spoke/seen him for many years) and explained to him the situation on how we felt uncomfortable in Detroit.…

    The past six week we have covered the likes of 3rd world living and the conditions that they provide to their people. The conditions of living have been focused on the geographic location of these countries, the social issues that take place, military status, economical well being and the technology that is possesses. Before I make the decision to uproot and move, I need to make certain of some things. I will most definitely not move somewhere where I will not be able to, at least match or increase my income, so I need to take a look ant the economy of the relocation destination. I want to make certain that the culture and its surrounding are suitable for the upbringing of children. The schools, the climate,…

    The work on the plantations is very exhausting, and I wish I could move back to Shanghai in China. There are other ethnicities here like Japanese, Korean, and Portuguese, but I usually talk with the other Chinese immigrants. Apparently, there is another language called Pidgin that everyone speaks so they can understand each other. How is everyone else doing over the past 10 years that I have been gone? I hope everything has been fine back in China.…

    I am a temporary migrant. My father told me that I should extend my horizon and feel the different culture to open myself, because he knew I am unsociable. I think it is a pull factor because it's so hard for me to join the competitions in China. But I do not intend to immigrate to Canada, leaving home is not what I want even if I left home all the time.…

    A couple of years ago I got kicked out of my house. Homeless, I had literally no where to stay or anyone to turn to. I had never opened up to anyone about my home life situation. Due to my upbringing in a predominantly rich, christian neighborhood I didn’t feel like anyone would understand my abusive parents or try to help. When I got kicked out I was sure that was the end of the line for me.…

    The sound of music and people laughing in the background. This is what I could hear even before I saw what was going on at every event. This was the homecoming events where every day there were different activities. For example, some of my favorites were the blow-up obstacle course and the oxygen bar. Usually they would have some activities and food from 11-1, and it was open to everyone who wanted to come. Also, they had giveaways, but those ran out within the first hour, and during the end of the week even faster because everyone knew there was going to be giveaways. At the beginning, I thought that there was going to be lots of people and I would not get a change to participate in the activities, but it turns out that the time range allowed people to come at different times. Even though, there may have been a lot of people who showed up they were spread out and I did not notice the number of people as much. Overall, I thought it was a great idea to have different events throughout the week instead of a formal dance because this allowed everyone to participate. If someone was not able to come one day they did not miss everything because there were other events.…

    The thought of returning to a full life after my burn injury was one that stood taller than a mountain. I will forever possess sincere feelings for those who were there supporting and guiding me in my recovery from friends, doctors, nurses, and family. As I returned home from the hospital the front door to our house resembled a revolving door with friends and family constantly coming and going. The teachers from my high school personally called me to express their love and care, one even offered to bring a web cam into her classroom so I would not fall behind on the material! The sheer support and constant uplifting made my month long journey of home recovery fly by.…
