Personal Narrative: Moving To North Carolina
North Carolina

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. …show more content…
I was well in NC, starting a new life, and surely my mom was not about to be letting me call long distance to talk to “some boy.” North Carolina seemed even more country than Virginia though. I loathed being in NC when we first moved there. The only thing that I enjoyed when we first moved to NC is that my oldest brother was living there with his family. I enjoyed babysitting for my brother and his wife. I always got to eat out or get some clothes for

    Personal Narrative: Moving From Tennessee To Nebraska

    Did you know I recently moved from Tennessee to Nebraska? When I moved to Nebraska, everyone told me how flat Nebraska was, how it was full of fields. In my mind I was reminded of Tennessee with its family owned farms that could stretch for several acres. I realized that though Tennessee and Nebraska are hundreds of miles away they are very similar.…

The job has changed, but what it takes to be successfully in any occupation has not.…

    Personal Narrative: Where To Live In Florida

    Despite the several hurricanes that have occurred in Florida the past couple years, I think it's safe to say that Florida can also be a pleasant place to live. With its mostly sunny weather, friendly disposition, and many exciting attractions, Florida almost doesn't seem like the type of place to have such horrific weather at times. I, personally, even after knowing so many good qualities about the sunshine state, still am not convinced that Florida would be a nice place to live.…

    Personal Narrative about moving from Virginia to New york

    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…

    Personal Narrative: My Carolina Story

    My Carolina story is one of perseverance. I grew up in a prominently white and underrepresented area, being a multicultural male it was very hard to fit in. However, with the backing of family and friends I was able to overcome many of the obstacles that plagued my area. Through hard work and dedication, I believe that anything is possible. It can be said that as long as you believe in yourself nothing is out of reach. For me this was the key to my success, however, upon applying to UNC-CH I was waitlisted. This greatly hurt my confidence as I felt as if I wasn't smart enough, but to my surprise I made it off the waiting list and enrolled in UNC. Nevertheless, the effects of being waitlisted lingered over me a long period of time. I found myself contemplating whether I was smart enough to attend such a prestigious university. Although soon enough I began to get involved on campus and through this I realized UNC was the best place for me and that no matter what I could make it at a esteemed university. The diversity that UNC offers was a vital key in helping to understand my place, I heard that "diversity creates identity" and this has been one of the strongest statements I have ever heard. My Carolina story is one of struggle and perseverance to fit in, yet, with hope and hard work you can accomplish anything.…

    Personal Narrative: From Here To South Carolina

    There is no doubt that South Carolina is one of the few states making progress down south but to fulfill my wants/needs I needed to move here to New York. After months of contemplating I realized that for a chance to be treated as everyone else that I would need to make this change, I needed the money that work would bring, a chance to showcase my talents and living conditions near the plantation were harsh and unfair. I feel that this was the best decision to make at this point in time. Times are changing and we deserve to be, act and live better.…

    Going to Southern California, no one would think of packing an umbrella. Why would they? California is in the middle of a drought. When someone thinks of California, they think of baby blue skies and palm trees along the streets. But, of course, the weekend my family decided to visit Disneyland, Universal Studios, and SeaWorld is the weekend Southern California experienced what the local news called a “tropical depression.”…

    Hugging the coast of North Carolina and southern Virginia is a two-hundred miles long strip of barrier islands known as the Outer Banks. The northernmost island of the Outer Banks is a narrow spit of land called Bodie Island. Located on the northern part of the island is a quaint, little town named for a common species of waterfowl.

    Personal Narrative: My Mission Trip To North Carolina

    The week that I had been dreading the whole summer was finally here. My dad was making me go on a week long mission trip with my youth group at my church to North Carolina. I didn’t have a problem with going to church, but I did not want to go on this trip. First of all, I only knew a few people from my youth group and definitely didn’t feel very comfortable around them. It was also tough to give up a week of my summer for this. Not only that, but this trip made me feel disconnected to everyone back home for an entire week. Because of all of these things, you could say I was a little uneasy heading into this week. Little did I know this trip would be a life changing moment for me. Now four years later, I’m dreading the fact this will be my last work camp I can attend. Because my dad was able to push me out of my comfort zone, I became closer in my faith, I grew as a person, became more involved in my youth group, and found a great group of friends.…
