Have you ever moved in the middle of your eighth grade year? Has it been to a completely different state? That’s what I had to deal with less than a year ago and it was difficult. I left behind family and friends when we left to come here. Friendships were broken and even gained. My family and I were now separated by a state. It took two moving trucks, three cars, and about one day to get the main part of our house to our new home in Ohio. The first day of school was even difficult for me because everyone was different from the students at my old school, East Noble. Let’s just say that when I moved from Indiana, my life got really difficult. This was the most difficult thing that has ever happened in my life.

They came with two of their biggest moving trucks they had. It took four to five backbreaking hours to load the last of the house. The only inconvenience, we came to, was when they told us that they weren’t going to take our storage unit. That we would have to find a way to get it down there ourselves. I got to ride down in my dad’s Malibu and we were supposed to get to the house before the moving trucks. When we got there they were already waiting for us, even though we had passed them. When everyone had arrived it was eight o’clock at night and dark. The movers and my parents decided to have the trucks unloaded that night to save money. By the time we got done it was around eleven thirty o’clock. When coming down, we had to bring with us our dogs, lizard, and guinea pigs, which is why we had so many cars. My aunt and my grandma were also brought with us so they could see the house. For the first couple days in the new house, it was going to be really crowded with everyone …show more content…
They had put our beds and dressers in our rooms but all of our belongings were throughout the house. My family really enjoyed our house because it wasn’t that different from our old one. The thing I enjoyed most was that the yard was that it was fenced in. The rest of the day I got the necessities for the week like clothes, school supplies, and my white shelves for my room. That night I had to get a nice peaceful sleep because I had to start school the next day. On Monday I went to my first day of school at Northmont. It wasn’t easy because I had to learn a whole new schedule and I missed first period that day because of the walkthrough of the school. That day I got told by the teachers who would be the best to show me around the school. Overall the first day at Northmont wasn’t as hard as I thought it would

    Almost two years ago, in the middle of my sophomore year of high school, I packed up everything and moved from a small town in Georgia to a much larger town in Michigan. I had lived in Georgia for my entire life, and I knew just about everything in Michigan would be different: the accents, the weather, the population of my town, the list goes on. Despite this, I was open to leaving my home state behind. Both of my parents obtained better jobs, and we would be just a few short hours from family that I typically only saw once a year. When I started school in Michigan, I had to adjust to a new schedule and meeting new people.…

    I only moved one hour away from my old house. The major factor was the fact that all the child hood friends that I had made, Jake, Jack, and Marlin, were all gone. I had to start a new life. I was young at the time and lacked a sense of fear, so I could adapt. Second grade went by fast, and I do not remember much.…

    The first time I had a phone I was in elementary school, and had it for about 2 years.

    Moving is difficult; everything is new and everyone is a stranger. I had moved six times in the past five years, but none impacted my life as much as moving to Kentucky did. My parents, approximately one year, after my freshman year at high school, before coming to a conclusion, planned to move elsewhere; working two jobs, twelve hours a day, was miserable, and their incomes were fully spent on mortgage, electricity, medical and vehicle insurance, and vehicle maintenance; my mother was studying, striving to become a nurse, and my father working to pay for her education. Living in Virginia, for over five years, and working every single day in those five years was not how they wanted to live; mortgage, along with electricity, and vehicle maintenance…

    Three weeks on intense apartment hunting, we found one that allowed children, was an amazing price, was in a good neighborhood, and it was furnished; meaning that it came with furniture. As a result of this, we didn’t have to hire a moving company. All we had was Blair’s toys and her type of furniture, so we just put it in the back of Antonio’s truck. The apartment was around 45 minutes away from the motel we were staying in, so I felt pretty safe that we would not wind up in the same area that we came from. When we finally arrived at the apartment, I was nearly crying from joy.…
