Moving To Smithville Narrative

Decent Essays
If you would have told me three years ago that would be living in Smithville and going to a different school I wouldn’t have believed you. Three years ago I was in sixth grade and living in St.Joe. My parents had talked about my dad getting a new job, but I never thought we would have to move. I thought I was going to go to middle school with my friends and nothing would change, but everything changed.
My dad got the new job and then my mom started talking about moving to Smithville because she didn’t want my dad to drive all the way from Riverside to St.Joe everyday, but I never thought they were serious. My parents started looking for houses online and it finally hit me that summer that we were going to move to Smithville because I would have to start a new school that year. That was the most depressing summer I’ve ever had. The first day of school I was so nervous! I didn’t know anybody and it was my first day of middle school. I didn’t want to go back to school I was very scared and shy. I just wished that I could go back to my old school and that nothing had changed.

I was depressed that I would have to leave everything behind and I thought that I would start middle school with all my friends, but the opposite of that happened. We were still living in our house in St.Joe because we still hadn’t found a house in Smithville yet. We were looking at houses in Smithville almost everyday and I didn’t really like any of the houses we saw. We finally found a house that was bright yellow, you couldn’t miss it and I was not excited to move into it. We moved in and the neighbors were very friendly, which made moving a little bit

    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.

    I grew up in a place where the neighbors lived a mile away, the animals ran loose all the time, and if you really felt like it, you could walk outside naked and nobody could really see you. It was a small town where everybody knew everybody; when driving down the road, you knew who was in the car passing you, and by the off chance you didn't, you still waved anyways. Going to the local gas station for a soda or to fill up the truck turned into a trip to go see your friends and visit. The family lived right around the corner, and bonfires were a regular thing. "Sedgewickville Population: 173" is what the town's sign said.…

    The Path to a Higher Education “Without education, you are not going anywhere in this world” (Malcolm X). In both Frederick Douglass’ article “Learning to Read” and in Malcolm X’s article “A Homemade Education” they discuss the challenges and obstacles that they had to overcome.

Malcolm X may not have been a man born into slavery, but he was still treated poorly because of his race. X later became a well-known leader during the Civil Rights Movement.…
