Personal Narrative: From Moving To My Home

Improved Essays
When my parents moved to Florida, they bought a house in the the town of Boynton Beach. This is where I spent my earlier years as a toddler. In those years, I was a true baby, whining and crying at any chance I got. I’d shed an excessive amount of tears in my first years in the world, but it wasn’t all bad, I had some great times.
My grandpa informs me now of the times when he would chase me around the pool table inside our house. He said that once I got too tired, and he’d catch up to me, I’d roll underneath the pool table and he would keep running around and around the table, and I’d sit there laughing at him. It was hysterical, and as much as my mom disagreed with the activity, she allowed it because it was too much fun. When I was two, I opened up more to our neighborhood. Our neighborhood was tiny and tight-knit, so everyone knew each other. There were these two girls across the street from us, Savanna and Shauna, and they thought I was adorable.

Yes, I did know everyone there because they were all part of my family, but I had never dealt with them all together. I had sat in a corner, taking in my surroundings with shock, doing absolutely nothing but listening. My first family reunion was a doozy, but I believe it did help me prepare for atmospheres in which there were significant amounts of

    The crisp breeze rustled my hair as I walked out of my house on the fall September day with my dad drilling instructions into my head. It was my first Little League baseball game ever, and my dad wanted to make sure it wasn’t my last. Being seven years old and never touching a baseball was something that had scared me; a lot. I had no idea what to think about this foreign, petrifying, game could possibly be about. The car ride from my house was only a few minutes away from the fields where I would begin my baseball career.…

It slowly turned into randoms bouts of extreme rage, where I’d take out my anger physically, not just on the walls and mirrors of my childhood home and not just on my family, but on myself. I couldn’t understand why I felt this way, why I wasn’t “normal”.…
