Moving Away From Home-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
Moving far away from my friends was tough on me at a young age. I had to learn how to deal with moving away from the people I love and adjust to living in another state. I knew things were going to be different and I felt like I was leaving the place that I was planning to call home forever. Although I didn’t want to leave so soon, it taught me how to deal with change and adjust to new things. I developed from a young kid to a mature young adult.
I still remember the day of the move, the images of what I thought was Texas didn’t process correctly. As I finished loading up the car, I took my last glance of the house and I remembered all the good times I had with my family and friends throughout the years. Now that I was moving miles and miles

    For children, this can be very hard. Starting over again, not having friends aside from your siblings. An article written about a study by the American Psychological Association states, “researchers found that the more times people moved as children, the more likely they were to report lower life satisfaction and psychological well-being at the time they were surveyed, even when controlling for age, gender and education level. The research also showed that those who moved frequently as children had fewer quality social relationships as adults.” Audrey Hamilton, the author of this article, also talks about how multiple moves during childhood impacts different personality types.…

    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.…

I can explain it best as the moment before the fall on a roller coaster, the butterflies building up in your stomach as the bottom of the hill is not insight but the ride down is sure to be amazing. Much like roller coasters new experiences have no true end in sight but the journey along the way with all the twists and turns are sure to change you as a person. New experiences like moving help you grow as a person, because you are introduced to so many new things like being surrounded by new people who have many different viewpoints, to being in a new atmosphere with so many new opportunities all of which shape you as a person and they also present a great deal of life lessons.…
