Personal Narrative Essay: Moving School

Improved Essays
Moving schools was a scary thing for me. I had a bunch of friend and was finally okay with what was happening, but out of the blue we moved to a new school, with new people, and new teachers.

On the day we had to get me ready for the school. I woke up late due to not being used to schedule. “Ugh” I grunted. I stubbled down stairs where I grabbed my breakfast. Starting at the soggy mess that was supposed to be cereal I complained
”Do I really have too eat this mess?”
My dad gave me the look that everyone knows means “you better”.

With no other choice I shoved the soggy mess in my mouth. Even though I knew I had no choice but to swallow the lump of mush my body wouldn't let me swallow, but sooner or later I got it down.

“ He is just in my mother’s 4th grade class.”
He laughs a bit and I even feel a bit silly.
“ What’s your name?”
“Cole, Cole Papageorgiou”
“Papa what?” I ask never have hearing a weirder last name.

“Oh, I’m Morgan Mason. Who do you have for a teacher?”

On the way I chatted with him as we walked up the stairs to the left and third on the right . I stopped, and examined the room. The walls were painted bright green walls. The teacher is cradling a cup of coffee in her hands. She seems to be talking to another teacher. As one of the teachers leave I clearly see a name tag.

    Moving schools away from all of my friends should’ve been an appalling experience, surprisingly, it was a blessing in disguise. I went to Agnes Baptist Elementary from kindergarten to 5th grade and I had friends that I've known since I was 3. I loved it there and knew the school like the back of my hand. Everything was superior, like most good things, though there were times where they weren’t, I was harassed by a bully almost everyday, my grades were getting inadequate, and my mom didn’t want me to be a sad, disconsolate 7th grader at a new junior high. In the result, I moved and I went to Savage Middle School, a school that had 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.…

    After a few long hours, I am awakened by a slight tap on my hand which is hanging over the small bench. I peek my bright green eyes open and squint from the blazing sun in the distance. I look around and don’t see anything that caused the tapping. I sit up, yawn, and scratch at my feline-like ears. I yawn once more and stretch my stiff human bones.…
