I had finally gotten everything figured out in my life in the year of 2015 in Iowa City, Iowa. For the first time in my life, my small world was looking up for me. That was, until my whole life imploded around me like it was swallowing me whole. Life was perfect. I was to transfer schools to Lemme Elementary before I went to South East Junior High. Although I was sad to leave my small private school could still visit all my old friends I had known since kindergarten. I had a wonderful softball team with all my new found friends. Then, the pivotal point in my life began.
My family went on a vacation to Washington over the summer. Then out of the blue, my mom got a job offer and an interview in Everett, Washington. My mom went to the interview …show more content…
Margaret agreed quickly, now excited about the move, but I was still hazy on the commitment involved. Eventually, my family and I decided to depart for Washington by the time it was late August.
“So what do you guys think about moving to Washington?” my mom inquired.
“That will be okay...I guess,” I responded faintly. What if I don’t make any friends? What if they think i’m weird?
Thoughts rushed through my head as my family and I raced around to get everything finished. We struggled to pack, move, sell a house, rent a house, and find a proper school in time. Where will we go? H0w will we get there? What happens now? Since we had no time to even move fully my parents decided where we would live and what school we would go to based on the best district of education. Since my mom’s job was in Everett, we had to live relatively close to there, in Mukilteo. At the same time we chose the only condo available in the Harbour Pointe school district.
Then, suddenly my dad exclaimed, “Oh my gosh!” “I just noticed that school in the Mukilteo school district starts on September 2nd instead of September 7th this year!” He …show more content…
“It’ll be fine,” my mom reassured, “think of all the new people you will meet.” It was hopeless. No backing out now.
We drove for three days, stopping at hotels and campsites. My two cats had to ride in the car with us and it was an extremely hard drive. When we finally arrived in the town of Mukilteo we had no time to look at our new home as we were fighting the clock. My mother and I were dropped off at Harbour Pointe Middle School as soon as we arrived and my sister and father went to register her at Endeavour Elementary School. We arrived on the 31st of August and went into the school office to the left of the entrance. The school check in lady gave us the forms that would decide my next year as a student. I signed my elective as band and got placed into honors math and Language Arts, not knowing that it was no different than normal classes.
“There is a sixth grade orientation tomorrow at noon,” the lady stated.
“Great, we’ll be there!” my mom
