Reasons Why People Move
People move for many reasons. It seems a normal thing that most people experience at least once in there life. So then why is it one of the hardest things to do? I often ask myself that many times. I have moved several times in my life. The hardest move though without a doubt was when I moved from Pasadena, Maryland to Casey, Illinois. I was originally from the Effingham area, I moved to Pasadena when I was six or seven. When lived there for about eight to nine years. When my grandparents moved back to Illinois my mom didn't like being that far away from her parents. That was my mom's main reason for moving back but there were other small and personal reasons. When my mom found a job that offered that same pay of her old job, the move was finalized. …show more content…
First we had to find a town to move and a house to live. My parents chose Casey because my mom worked in Terre Haute, IN and my dad worked in Effingham, IL. Since it was the halfway point between two towns. Then the time came for us to pack up our possessions. Collecting all of your possessions of packing them up into boxes. Once everything was packed into boxes we counted the amount of stuff we had in order to decide if we need a small moving van or a large semi truck, we needed a semi truck. Then we loaded all of our possessions into the semi truck. Finally, we were ready to head out. When we reached our new house we had to sit and wait for the moving truck to arrive. Once it arrived we had to unpack the truck after driving for 13 hours which made the unpacking ten times worse than packing it

    People relocate all the time. There are many places to choose from. I think that the most common deciding factor is the climate you may like or dislike. You may choose to live in the North where you can enjoy the falling snow and skies strapped to your feet, or down South where you might prefer fun in the sun, and sand between your toes. Though both places can offer different climates, they can also have some similarities. Where would you like to live?…

We had to start packing because we would move there in a couple months. We pack every day taking breaks every now and then and we were loading up the moving van with the big stuff that needed to go down to IL first.

    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.…

    Moving to northern Wisconsin as a young girl was a scary and confusing time. Having been born in Chicago, all I knew was a big city, the crowds of people, the nonstop traffic and all the noises. My home, it was the only place I knew. How could my parents make a decision like this? How could they make me move to a place I had only visited once before -- but barely remembered? The sadness I felt was so overwhelming during that transition that I told myself that if I ever had a family, I would never make them move. As an adult, many years later, I look back and almost chuckle. My family and I have moved many times, for work or family and even adventure. Now as an adult, I push my children to find adventure in every move…
