Personal Narrative: My Life In Nashville, Tennessee
The Move There I was living a good life in Nashville, Tennessee. I was very comfortable in the current state that I was in. I was just a young boy during the summer before I would head into the 4th grade. Summer was going amazing with many memories. But then I got told the news that would change the life of me and my family forever. At the time I was pretty young, just finished the third grade at St. Henry School and I was feeling comfortable. But sometimes I will soon find out, is not always a good thing. At this time I was living in very green and warm Nashville, Tennessee. It was the beginning of August and it was almost time to head back to school. But at that point school sat in the very back of my mind as I was totally focused on trying to have the best time before summer ended. School hadn’t really been said between my mom which was kinda weird because normally we were on the …show more content…

At this point my young 3rd grade self wasn’t thinking much of it. I just thought we were deciding on what we were going to eat. Then my mom dropped the bomb. “This has been a long debate on what we should do, but with the job I will be getting, we have decided to move to Ohio.” At this point I went from totally not focused and thinking about what I could do tomorrow, to eyes in with a blank stare on my mom’s face. I was amazed. We have chatted about maybe moving but I never thought it would come to the day where it would be a reality. At this point my world was in total shock. “We will be moving in a week or so just in time for the school year,” my mom had stated.
I didn’t really know what to think. I would be leaving everything I had known and loved. I’d have to say goodbye to my friends because some of them I would never see again. I was a very hard mental time for me. I really didn’t know what to think of the

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

    In my experience, I don’t think I am reluctant to a specific identity. Houston is a very diverse city that people can find almost any type of music genre. In my community there are Hispanic and African American families. The music that is heard is of all kinds from “R&B, Pop music, Reggae, to Cumbia, Bachata and Regional Mexicano.” I have lived in the same community ever since I was born and in my opinion, I have grown up listening to the different types of music genres. This has shaped my identity to be open to different music genres and traditions.…

Although I have completed many hours of volunteer work in an effort to improve the bad conditions in the city, I feel as if I have not done enough.

    The day I found out I would be moving from Roseville to Alpena was probably the worst day of my life. I remember the day I found out about the move. Not only was I really upset because I would be moving away from my friends and family, but I was really scared. We were moving to the middle of nowhere, where I knew not a single person. I would be going into my 6th grade year in the fall, my first year of middle school. My brother and I did everything we could to try to sabotage the move, but sadly our plans failed. Nothing could stop this from happening. Everything I knew… was about to change.…

    All I remember was how it looked like a ghost town. There were hardly any cars on the road and nothing looked open.. This was not what I was used to. We checked into our room at the Holiday Inn, our new house for a little over a month while finding a house to buy, and I shortly fell asleep, being exhausted from our 12 hour journey. Me, my mom, stepdad, sister, and my cat were all crammed into a little, one room, hotel with two beds and one bathroom, I was miserable. For about a week and a half, a played hookie and helped my mom house hunt. Eventually, she decided I had been out of school long enough. That next morning, my mom pulled me into Guntersville Middle School. I was worried because I was ridiculously shy and figured I would have an extremely hard time making friends, but oh was I wrong.

    One day nearly two years ago, I came back from the worst trip and experience ever in my life. Three years ago, my family made the biggest decision of our lifetime together and we had decided to move. Now the fact that we were moving didn’t bother me or my little sister, it was just the simple fact that we were moving from our home that we had grown up in our entire life. The only problem was the fact that we had eventually found out that we were going to move to Oregon. This Alabama home that we grew up in was very special to me and my sister but it wasn’t the one of best of places. We had lived right beside our grandparents and we loved to go up the hill and see them and us moving had rendered that possibility from happening any longer.…
