Essay About Moving School

Improved Essays
I moved many times during my childhood and into my teenage years. I sometimes liked when we moved because it was excited to see what we could discover in our new community, but it could also be heart breaking at other times. For me growing up and sometimes returning to a community or area the best way I could remember who was who was by finding out what school I knew them from. Many times I would receive an odd look when I would ask this type of question. For this reason I decided to write my school influences by my grade and location. It took some time to figure it all out, many wonderful memories surfaced during this time though. I originally thought I hadn’t attended preschool, but my mother attest differently. She says we lived in Minnesota during this time. We moved not long after I finish preschool to Hemet in California due to my health and needing to be in a dryer climate. I also attended kindergarten there, but was unable to finish the full year in school. I required too much medication and the school was unable to have me there. I finished the last few months in home …show more content…
In this school I began to learn how to write cursive, basic computer skills and typing. When I look back on this it seems to me that this is early to learn these things, maybe not though. I had many friends in school and got along with my teacher very well. My only complaint was that I didn’t like to show her my cursive because I thought it wasn’t very good, and I would forget how some of the letter would go. During the middle of my third year I had to leave my school and friends again. Next, we moved to Oklahoma. This school didn’t have much of an influence as far as I can remember, although I’m sure it did have some influence even if I can’t remember it. History repeats itself and we moved to Buttermilk Acres, which is between Ridgecrest and Inyokern, after this school year

    Throughout my life I have lived in three cultural distinct regions Lima Peru, White Plains New York and Baltimore Maryland. For the first two years of my life I lived in Lima, Peru and even though I never culturally adapted myself into the culture I would often visit for months and immerse myself into the culture. I can say with confidence that if I grew up in that culture I would not my be the same person I am today because of the fact that they are a collectivistic country and that would change my outlook on myself and the community around me.

    Moving schools away from all of my friends should’ve been an appalling experience, surprisingly, it was a blessing in disguise. I went to Agnes Baptist Elementary from kindergarten to 5th grade and I had friends that I've known since I was 3. I loved it there and knew the school like the back of my hand. Everything was superior, like most good things, though there were times where they weren’t, I was harassed by a bully almost everyday, my grades were getting inadequate, and my mom didn’t want me to be a sad, disconsolate 7th grader at a new junior high. In the result, I moved and I went to Savage Middle School, a school that had 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.…

    Since, I was young I have moved many times. Moving is difficult because when you are new you have to try and figure out how fit in and adapt to new situations. Overall, since starting school at age five, I attended ten different schools. The good thing about changing schools is that you can reinvent yourself, but the challenge is adjusting to how they run their sports and academics. You need to figure out how the school works, and how the kids interact with each other.…

    Being at Fallsvale throughout most of my elementary, and entire middle school years honestly helped me, simply because the stress levels of switching to a new school are very high, and staying at one school really boosted my confidence. I am positive that if I were to have switched schools in elementary, I would have been so nervous to start middle school, and only stay there for a couple years. I also would not have made so many great friends, because I simply wouldn’t have too much time to know them. Staying at Fallsvale definitely helped me make some great friends too; I knew them for a long time, so I always had company as well. At REV, I don’t know at least three quarters of the students there, because it’s such a big school!…

    In many ways, the experiences of an immigrant can be compared to those of a student leaving for college. Both persons seek to grow as individuals and allow themselves to gain experiences and opportunities that were previously unimaginable to them. To contrast this, many American college students are not leaving a home ridden by poverty, malnourishment, or neglect. The majority of immigrants who flee their countries have the intent to return. They leave behind their families, their belongings, and everything that they have grown to know.…
