Essay About Moving

Improved Essays
Moving was my life changing experience. It changed my life by making my more mature. Where I grow up in Georgia I lived by a handful screaming, careless kids like around the ages of 7 to 10, growing up around people younger than you can often causes you to act like them. So being around screaming, annoying kids for 8 or more years can put a toll on the way you behave. It made my act like a kid. When I lived in Georgia I was immature and irresponsible. In Georgia I hung out with kids in elementary school and that made me behind in development in a few ways. One way is that it made me not know what responsibilities were because kids have no responsibilities for the most part and being around that environment made me think I had no responsibilities. …show more content…
But the move has really helped me get in a new environment and get to meet and hang out with people my age. Where I used to live I just thought making stick forts was the only responsibility that I had. But by moving to a place that had people my age made me realise that I have responsibilities and I had no clue how to handle them. In Georgia there was really no responsibilities but now in Illinois there is. For example I have to study for tests, quizzes, and take notes. In Georgia everything was so relaxed you almost never learned anything new. School in Georgia was nowhere as hard as it is here in Illinois. In Georgia everything just repeat for the last year for the most part. But here everything is knew and I have to get my work done on time and make sure it is worth turning it. Since I moved I have tried to do better than everybody else become I am a little behind of everybody.
I am still trying to ‘grow up’ but I have came a long way from stick forts. I am now more mature but I still have some immature traits, like everyone else. I still am horrible at reading also I am very bad at cleaning up my messes. But in the long run the is what makes me
