Personal Narrative: Moving To Arizona

Improved Essays
On September 4th, 15 years ago, I was born. I was born in Duluth, Minnesota and lived in Superior. After living there for 5 years, I moved to Arizona. I lived in Arizona for 3 months. My family realized the weather was just too hot, so we moved back to Hermantown. I've lived here since. I like living in Hermantown way better than Arizona because I like snow and snowmobiling. Some of my hobbies include lacrosse, snowmobiling, hunting, fishing, and shooting my bow.

In the winter, when the snow is falling, you’ll find me out on the trails. Even though my snowmobile is a peice of crap, I like it anyways. When I go snowmobiling, I feel like I am free and can go anywhere and do anything. When I was 3 years old, I got my first fourwheeler. I've been riding ever since. I got my first dirt bike when I was 6. I raced dirt bikes and fourwheelers for about 5 years and decided it was just too hard to do. So I quit and now I like snowmobiling for fun with my friends and family.

When it comes to hunting, I like to hunt grouse, duck, pheasant, goose, and deer with my bow. I also enjoy fishing. Last year, I shot my first buck. It was a 10 pointer that I shot with my bow. When I went to state for archery, I took second place with a perfect score. As a family, we like to go out on the weekend and have a shooting competition together.

My family is special to me because I think we are a lucky family. I was an only child until I was 13. When I was 13, my baby brother, Beckett, was born. It's been very different since then. Beckett is 4 now and is as twice annoying as I thought he'd be. We still manage to have a fun time as a family.

In conclusion, my life is filled with fun and happiness. I enjoy doing stuff with my family especially when they are watching me play sports or if we are doing things together. Hunting and fishing is very special to me, and I don't know what I would be doing if I wasn't able to do those

    I am Calvin Aberg. I am 5’10”, I have hair and eyes that are chocolate. I am involved in many activities, my favorite of which is basketball. I enjoy basketball because I always like to savor the soft swoosh of my basketball as it softly falls through the bottom of the net. Another activity that I greatly enjoy is baseball, where the loud crack of the bat is accompanied by the wafting smells of hotdogs and peanuts as the ball soars out of the stadium and to the other side of the world.…

    When I was 16 I moved to from California to Texas. During this time, I assume everyone in Texas wears a cowboy hat, boots, talks in a southern accent such as saying y’all and other such stereotypes. I assume the general understanding of Texas from what I was taught as a kid in movies, music, and shows. Once I moved to Texas that that type of thought was used against me, my classmates assume I probably l go to the beach and surf and have met plenty of celebrities when I lived in California. This is an example of REPRESENTATIVENESS HEURISTIC to judge or presume a someone or something relying on past experiences and mental representations to a new situation creating a particular group.…

    A universal theme for me moving from Texas to California is overcoming. I was 8 years old when my family moved, and had to overcome knowing no one, a new school, and being out of my comfort zone. At this age you tend to start making good friends, all hang out in groups, and be less adventurous. My parents kept saying, “Find people who like the same things as you, and everything else will be easy”. The next week I did just that.…

    Two thousand five hundred eighty-seven. I could take an eight-hour flight or a casual thirty-seven-hour drive, but no matter what, I am still two thousand five hundred eighty-seven miles away from my home in New Haven, Connecticut. Being a college freshman, trying to juggle class, homework, projects, studying, sleeping, eating, and athletics; finding the travel time to go home is an almost impossible task. Add in the cost of the $600 flights round trip and there is no chance a student can go visit home when they feel a little homesick. I on the other hand had never even fathomed being homesick from the frozen tundra I called home.…

    I’m Mexican, I was born in Mexico but then brought over here to the US when I was around 3 years old. My whole family was born in Mexico and I’m the youngest child which means that all of my brothers and sister grew up for most of their childhood in Mexico and my oldest sister even got married over there. We eventually all moved over here and that resulted in our family being very culturally connected with Mexico’s culture. My mother is a strong believer in continuing cultural traditions even if we are in a different place. So she made sure we always knew a lot about where we came from or special traditions that were done in Mexico.…

    Arizona I smelting hot in the summer month but in the winter months it is a nice 60 degrees with lots of wind I prefer Arizona in the winter because it is not as hot and you can go outside without getting a heat stroke or dehydration. It;'s nice here because you don’t have to deal with snow or things like tons of rain. I grow up in Dubuque Iowa and I did like it there but I wanted a place were there was no snow, rain, and heat but with humidity and moist air in Arizona its dry heat which I like better. I have all my family in Dubuque so its hard to stay in touch but Arizona is such a cool place with new places to see and explore.…
