Personal Narrative Essay About Moving

Improved Essays
Have you ever experienced moving? I did. During one summer, after second grade, I moved to Gwinnett County with the help of my mom and her friend.

There were two houses that we went to. The first, had a balcony, while the second did not, both were also in the same neighborhood. Since the move occurred a while ago, I do not remember that much about the first house we went to, but all I knew was the balcony was connected to that one.
