Personal Narrative: Moving To Florida
When I walked in the doors of our house, I looked to the left where our couch was and saw my parents sitting facing towards me with nervous faces. I set my bag on the ground next to the door, and I set my shoes next to my bag. I slowly turned around and walked towards the couch, hesitant to take a step forward. Part of me considered bolting--running for the door. Their faces were plastered with anxiety, and I tried to think of what I had done. Nothing clear came to mind. Once I finally sat down, I looked at my parents and said, “What's wrong?”
“Ummm,” my mom says quietly, “your dad got a job, and it’s a good job where he will make a lot of money,”
“Ok, then why are you acting like it’s a problem?” I ask, unsure of why my mom was so nervous.

His voice straight-to-the-point, which caught me off-guard since his voice was usually calm and relaxed.
As soon as the words processed in my head, I realized exactly what this meant. Moving? To Florida? That meant leaving behind all my friends, moving to a place I don’t know, packing up my whole word into a cardboard box--do they realize what they’re doing to me?
“NO! I am not moving, I can’t just leave all my friends, I can’t just leave school with only two months left,” I said angrily. I got up and stormed to my room, I slam the door, leaving my parent’s by themselves downstairs. Once I got to school I go to my best friend and ask him for help. I tell him about my parents and how I was happy for my dad getting a better job, but the only part that I couldn't get off my mind is that we have to move. I know that my best friend also has moved recently from Colorado, but he moved here when he was four years old so he really didn’t understand what was going

    I moved to Alabama from Texas at the beginning of my 6th grade year. The day before leaving, my best friend since kindergarten came over and stayed the night with me, dreading falling asleep and waking up to a nightmare of having to say goodbye. The morning came and so did the tears, I had packed up my entire life, said goodbye to all my family, friends, my house, and even my dad. How was I, an insecure, and VERY shy little girl supposed to just leave everything I knew and loved and start all the way over when my life was just getting started? It was a long 12 hour drive from Dallas, Texas, to little town Guntersville, Alabama and it gave me a long time to pity myself, hate my mom for moving me, get over the hate and be excited, and then be upset all over again. Alabama. Why Alabama? We had a choice, Alabama or Florida, and we chose here??? Me being a stubborn, bratty, over dramatic pre-teen, I just couldn’t wrap my head around it. I thought the world was ending.…

    Imagine being stripped away from everything you knew: your childhood friends; cousins you thought you'd always have with you, and places you called your second, third, or even fourth home. That is exactly what I went through when my family decided to move to Albuquerque, New Mexico. What's different about my experience was that it wasn't necessarily the move that flipped my world upside down but everything that happened in between. I was an awkward, shy, midget-like twelve-year-old when my family and I lost our home during the California money crisis. From that point on it was like a tumbling circus act. My parents ended up losing their jobs until finally my dad moved to New Mexico; leaving me and my family for almost a year. The last thing…

    It was the morning of move in day. I said goodbye to my home and headed out. I passed the local shopping market and my high school where I enjoyed a fun four years. As I headed to Norman I realized I was leaving everything I had ever known. All my life has consisted of living in the same house, going to school with the same kids, and going to the same supermarkets and restaurants. While I’d like to say I have developed a good idea of the world around me by visiting so many cities around the United States, in reality the only world I’ve ever known is the same one I have spent my whole life in. I have loved growing up in Northwest Oklahoma City with the friends that have helped shaped me into who I am today, however I relished the opportunity…

    My mom yelled “dinner!”, and I sat down in our little kitchen. It was November 15, and it was colder than usual. Both of my parents were looking at me, a sadness covering their face in a way that is hard to describe. I noticed the tears in their eyes. They were squeezing each other’s hands, telling me how much they loved me and wanted me to have everything that life could ever offer. “I know”. The only words that came out of my mouth. Everything was so quiet, and not in a peaceful way. It was like the silence before the storm. My thoughts started to wander. The last time a silence like that was covering our kitchen was the day I found out that my brother was dead- brutally killed by a bomb on his way to school.…
