Moving To Pequot Research Paper

Improved Essays
Recall a time you were pleasantly surprised, let it be subtle or the biggest surprise of your life. Remember how you felt, were you happy? Nothing could bring you down, that's how I felt about moving to Pequot.
At first I was, of course, upset to hear the news we were moving. I had to leave my friends behind, I had to leave my school! That meant leaving Kaylee and Lily, my best friends. After a bit of thinking I realized maybe a fresh start wouldn’t be all so bad. I mean, I could start over, no one knew me. I got bullied a lot as well, and I knew that it was for the best to leave. I had a stalker named Diablo Navy, and he was arrested in front of my window at night only a few weeks ago, it was smart to get away. By the time we got into our truck with all of our belongings in the U.P.S behind us, I realized that no one really cared I was moving. No one was sad that I was leaving, no one tried to keep in contact

I didn’t think much of this boy at first, I didn’t really see him wanting to be with me. He was nice and complimented me, and I developed the biggest crush ever. We were best friends for two months, we hung out and laughed and he made me feel better about moving to pequot. We talked every day until one day, he asked me out. To make this day better, I slipped and fell on the ice, getting a bloody nose in the process. Wow, I guess I did fall for him after all.
As the school year proceeded, I changed little by little. I stopped cutting my hair, I stopped wearing dark clothes. I took my lip ring out. You may think that this is bad, that I was changing for people to like me, but I wasn’t. I was becoming the person I wish I could’ve been two years ago. I was surprised how much I liked Pequot, more and more people talked to me and I learned to appreciate myself. It was like coming out of a dark shell, a shell I’ve been hiding in for years, and it was nice to leave and feel the gleaming sunlight across my

    Insecurity Growing up on a farm with two older brothers, I was a bit of a tomboy. From birth until age seven, my favorite toys were Tonka trucks and wooden guns. I wrestled in the mud, ate like a teenage boy, and at the age of five took scissors to my hair, chopping it into a pixie cut, so I could “be like my older brothers”. Innocently, I wore my barn clothes to school and my kindergarten picture displays my hair in a rats nest, with a large crooked smile, and bright eyes. However, that yearbook picture changed as my innocence faded away.…

    It was hard, challenging and depressing to the person I was then. I learned how to accept people for what they are, shed the bad habit of being rather judgmental and condescending and what not. But, in the end it was all worth it not just because it made me the person I am today (I must admit I am a teeny-weeny bit proud of it too.) but because the process of it was quite so wonderful that I can't help but reminisce little moments from it everyday. This article is as much a personal celebration of my metamorphosis as it is an encouragement to everyone reading this to undertake their own journey of reinvention.…

    The Struggle to Find Real Friends in a World of Counterfeits I learned from a very young age that making friends was not going to be easy for me. My parents, originating from the modest, genuine Canadian countryside raised me in Miami, the superficial capital of the world. My definition of friendship did not align with most Miamian’s definitions, to say the least. By six years old I had realized the importance of making friends based on their personalities, while every other six year old had already been engrained with Miami’s morals and had made friends for shallow reasons such as money and looks.…
