My Life Will Never Be The Same

Decent Essays
I leaned forward in my seat after asking for the third time, “How much longer?”
My annoyed parents both shout at me, “Relax! We will be there soon!”
I sat back in my seat and rolled my eyes and looked out the window. I noticed that it had started to rain. The rain hit off my window and I watched it each raindrop follow its own path. It is impossible to pick exactly where the raindrop will go. It is unpredictable. My life is like a raindrop. As I am watching the rain we drive past the bright, blue “Pennsylvania Welcomes You” sign. I roll my eyes even harder than before. I looked past the sign to a land full of green. Almost like a strange, deep jungle.
I did not want this. I did not want to be here. My life will never be the same. It was early May and I was around eleven years old. My family decided just about a month ago that they wanted to come back to their hometown. However, this was not my hometown.
My parents loved to travel; especially when they got married. They traveled all over the country and even outside of it. Until they were on vacation in Arizona. They decided while vacationing that they wanted to move out of Pennsylvania and start a new life in Arizona.
My parents did just that. They stumbled across what they thought was the perfect city which is about thirty minutes outside of Phoenix. They chose Gilbert, Arizona. They house hunted and bought a house during their short stay. They then proceeded to drop everything in Pennsylvania and move. After everything

    As we walked through the Indianapolis airport, I spotted two figures dashing towards us. The next thing I know, my cousins have their arms wrapped tightly around me; I could barely breathe. This time, it wasn’t a the bad type of “I can’t breathe”; it was the warm, welcoming hugs of the cousins I hadn’t seen in a couple of years preventing me from breathing. My aunt and uncle were holding a big poster that said “Welcome to America!” in big red and blue letters with the U.S. flag on one side and the Bulgarian flag on the other.…
