I was saying goodbye to free food‚ free tv‚ free showers‚ free cable‚ and many other things and in a small part of my brain I knew I wanted to stay a little longer‚ but who wouldn’t?

12 hours for. Our new house‚ for a while. I climbed out of the moving truck‚ and started helping my parents and siblings unload the truck. It took us 4 hours to get everything out. It was night‚ and the house was empty‚ it looked like no soul had lurked here for a while. Since we got here so late there was no beds. So we had to sleep on the cold hardwood floor with pillows and blankets. Sounds like the perfect day ever right‚ moving away from somewhere you have lived since kindergarten‚ to half way

Moving to United States The most memorable event in my life was when we moved out from Russia to a country that changes lives and is known as a dream land called the United States of America. When we sat on the airplane that was going toward the United States in August of 2004‚ we knew our lives are going to be changed in the way we always wanted them to.

Moving in High School I’ve seen plenty of movies where the main character changes high schools and finds instant popularity‚ romance‚ and overall success. Still‚ the thought of moving and starting over at a new school sent chills down my spine. And to my surprise‚ that’s exactly what happened. My mom had been laid off for over a year and had finally found a job in a town about 45 minutes away from our home. It all happened so fast. I was about to become a senior in high school.
