“Can I get a Wolfpack?” someone yells across the field. “Wolfpack!” I yell back with 190 other schoolmates. We repeat this call and response two more times before letting out a fierce cry.…
In The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, the family endures a lot of hardships, one of which includes moving from place to place. They hardly stayed anywhere for more than a week, and moved more times than they could count to avoid the law and payments. Jeannette usually had a hard time making friends, so it would have been difficult for her. They eventually stopped the constant relocating, and settled in Welch, West Virginia. Moving was always one of the hardest things for me to do as I was growing up.…
“Better, indeed, for a man’s own good -- that he should sit down where he was born,” colorful poet, Joaquin Miller, advocates in his poem, Pace Implora. In this poem, Joaquin Miller highlights aspects of a simple life, that all establish routine, which he insists is the key to a better life. Nonetheless, staying in one place and keeping simplicity is not better than traveling the world for many reasons. First, leaving your hometown, gives you the opportunity to meet new people. Meeting new may push you out of your comfort zone and will open you to diversity.…
A universal theme for me moving from Texas to California is overcoming. I was 8 years old when my family moved, and had to overcome knowing no one, a new school, and being out of my comfort zone. At this age you tend to start making good friends, all hang out in groups, and be less adventurous. My parents kept saying, “Find people who like the same things as you, and everything else will be easy”. The next week I did just that.…

The relocation process can be an understandably challenging one. When a family moves, they're uprooting their life as they know it and beginning a new routine. If you've developed a strong routine as a family for years, it can be tough to come to terms with it all. This is especially true for children. Look out for these four challenges your children might face when it's time to move.…
Friendless, alienated, lonely. Nobody is very fond of moving. At least, I sure I’m not. We were living in West Virginia and I was in 7th grade. We rented a house in West Virginia one year ago.…
Countless people move houses and states frequently, and for various reasons. Some of these are job opportunities, better homes, or even family. Moving many times can be stressful, of course, but the experiences you have and the friends you make on the way make the process worth the hardships. The following are a few of the reasons that moving is not quite as unsatisfactory an experience as it is often made out to be. Moving can be tough on everyone who goes through it, being both stressful and nerve wracking.…
Things you experience are one of the major factors in who you become. I am 27 years old and have moved 26 times in my life. This has made me extremely resilient to a variety of situations, especially change. I generally welcome chaos and get bored extremely easily with repetition because I am so used to things changing frequently. Most of the places I moved to were similar enough culture wise, but some of the places, like Chattanooga, TN, were very different from what I was used to.…
Nobody enjoys moving, I know I don’t, it’s so difficult, not just physically but emotionally. When my husband Adan and I moved to Mozambique, I was so excited but moving away from my friends and family was so difficult, until this day my heart feels like it has been beaten and burned-out. I’ve had to adjust to the new ways of life and accept it. I love the atmosphere in Mozambique; the people are so warm and welcoming. From our new home, we could see the beautiful beach.…

When people realize they have to leave everything they have known, loved and cared for twelve thousand miles away from them the impact is so great. Some people think it was easy for me to move from Australia to America, but really it is difficult to forget about. When someone moves from one house to another they don’t usually leave the country where their family, friends and memories are. As for me, in 2011 my family and I traveled to the United States to look for a house to live in. My dad was offered a new job but the catch was that we had to move.…
Relocating is one of the most stressful experiences that a person may go through in their lifetime. This is because moving requires you to say farewell to things that are familiar and then adjust to a new life in your new neighborhood or country. Bidding your friends, co-workers and family goodbye is a sad event, and facing your new surroundings without the comfort of familiar things is daunting. In addition to the stress that comes with saying goodbye and adjusting, relocating to another place may also be expensive, especially if you are moving to another country.…
I want to move to Oregon because my situation in California is not what I prefer it is not quiet nor is it secluded as much as I want it just isn’t the place I would spend the rest of my life. My main issue with moving to Oregon is that I am disabled and also money is an issue. I do not know how I will get around in Oregon and also I am not capable to do very many jobs for a college freshman because a lot of jobs that I read or try to apply to will not accept me due to my inability to walk carry and lift objects. Another situation that I need to address is when I can move to Oregon,I need to put several situations into account. I need to figure out how I can receive money and I need to figure out when I am going to leave lbcc to go to a four year college.…
Last year during our spring break in high school me and a group of friends decided that we go on a road trip. At first we didn’t know where we were going to go but finally decided on going to Virginia Beach. We planned on staying for 5 days and then drove back up to New York. During this trip we had a lot of interesting things happen, especially to the car.…
