Reflective Essay: Moving To Arizona
One summer day I was thinking about what I should do to make the day more interesting. I was thinking for a whole hour and finally came up with a great idea. I went up to my dad and asked "Can I could go to Grandma and Grandpa's house for the weekend to go visit them in Arizona?" My dad snickered and said "no", the reason was because I didn't have enough money to pay for what I wanted if I went down to visit them.

For the past month I have saved up for the trip down to Arizona. Once the time finally came, I have reached $200. I then asked my dad again, "Can I could go down to my Grandparent's house?", and he replied "no". "Why he would not let me, and what else do I have to do?" I said. He then replied saying "You didn't have to do anything,

    Personal Narrative: Rosa Parks

    My father was never really a part of my life. He was kind of a drug and alcohol addict. For all I know, he still is. My mom and him never got married so to be honest, it's not a surprise to me that they didn't stay together. Anyway, he has two other kids with other people and never paid child support for them so he's fifty thousand dollars in debt . My mom felt bad for him so when I was born, she left him off my birth certificate. He came to see me quite a few times in the first three years of my life, but when I turn 6 years old, he stayed behind in Washington, while we moved to Arizona because my mom got a new job. He has never left the state of Washington at least in my lifetime so I have not seen him since I was six. The only time I ever saw him and remember was when I was 10. I was in Washington visiting my grandpa. We visited with my dad for about 30 minutes at a Denny's. Even though he is a drug addict and an alcoholic, he is still my father, and even though my mom does not think he is a good guy, I believe with enough encouragement and enough support he can change and be a better…

    Goldilocks through the eyes of Holden Caulfield from The Catcher in the Rye

    One day I decided to ditch out on my 3rd grade class, my teacher was being a complete phony, and go for a long pointless walk in the woods. Pretty soon, I came upon a house that looks like it could have been from a fairy tale, all perfect and what not. I cant tell you why, maybe because of complete boredom, but I knocked and no one answered. Something smelled good and I was goddamn hungry so I decided to take a quick peak and see what was cooking.…

    Personal Narrative: Moving To Michigan

    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.…

    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.…

    Reflective Essay: Moving To A Community

    Having lived in a variety of countries, I have developed a level of interest and compassion for various communities and environments. I often felt like an outsider when my family and I would initially move to a new city. The unique experience of being able to look into a community or society from the outside allowed myself to not only appreciate but also analyze my surroundings. Growing up in South Korea, California and Louisiana, due to my father’s work, allowed me to appreciate different cultures while developing an awareness for the greater, overarching society of the world. I was able to be a part of the individual culture of each distinct community while developing an appreciation for the way in which all communities are connected.…

    Personal Essay: Moving To Houston, Texas

    After our presentations this past week I was provided with a lot of insight on places all over the united states that I may want to move too in the future. It is very important too travel and break out of your comfort zone in order to experience new things in life. That being said I have narrowed where I would like to move down to two different places, but there is one place I refuse to move too, because it would be too much of a culture shock for a boy who was born and raised in Middlesex County, New Jersey.…

    Narrative Essay About Moving To Texas

    One day after school when I was eight, my parents conveyed to our family that we were moving due to my father’s job. I found this bizarre since we had just moved to our massive house in Fort Wayne, IN about two years earlier. I questioned where we were moving to, and my mother told us we were moving to Texas. This time we were moving across several states rather than just a few towns away. Up to that point in lives, we had lived in Indiana, so moving to Texas seemed so far away and across the country.…
