Personal Narrative: My Move

Improved Essays
I had just arrived home from school when I heard my parents calling my name. They told me to take a seat by the table and said they needed to talk to me. My heart almost flew out of my chest, I began thinking about all the bad things I had done in the past few days, and excuses for all of them. As they began talking I knew it wasn’t about something I had done, they talked about how moving can be a tough change in life and some other things. I immediately lost interest in the discussion and zoned out. As they continued to talk I heard them say the words I never wanted to hear them say they said “We are moving”. I immediately flew out of my seat and objected. I tried over and over to convince them to change their minds, but nothing seemed to have worked so I decided give up and go with it. …show more content…
The day we were to move had finally come, I got out of bed, took a bath, got my things and went downstairs were my parents were waiting for me by the car. As we drove down to the new house I guess I fell asleep, because the next thing I knew my mom was shaking me to wake up; it seemed like we had gotten there in seconds. I sat up on my seat and looked around, they were so much houses around I had to guess which was ours. Once I saw the one that was ours I suddenly felt sick, and a cold chill went through my whole body. The house looked like it had been there for

    It almost seemed normal that when we were eating dinner that I would always retreat to the basement, since I knew that a fight between my parents was eminent. Furthermore, it would be a normal thing for me to be having phone calls with friends and have to leave the room so that I could hear them over my parents bickering at each other. So, I learned bad habits of keeping to myself and not speaking to my dad who, I thought at the time, was creating most of these problems. But one night, the very life that I had changed in an…

I want to be an example for my Dad and Mom, even if my decisions are hard to take, because I can remember the first conversation with my Mom about dropping out of school and explaining why I have to do that, how I was going to deal with that decision and asking her to support my decision so she can help me explain it to my Dad. Well, the conversation with my Mom was so easy always,never forget how Mom is so understandable she always help me alot…

    Do you remember when you were a little kid and you had to climb on your counter-top to reach a cabinet? I remember it as if it was yesterday, maybe because it really was. All my life I have been dramatically smaller than all my peers. I have always been ostracized for the fact of my height which, in fact I have no jurisdiction over . I have always lived by the motto “Heart over height” in every aspect of life, and in every endeavor I encounter.…

    When I was growing up, my family liked to move, for no apparent reason other than wanting to move. It may have been to decorate a new room or have new surroundings, but it was never clear to me except for the time in high school I asked if we could live in the same town so I didn’t have to go to another new school and start the process of making new friends, again… we had moved 7 times by the time I was 16. Oddly I cannot remember moving until the last move which occurred when I was 21 years old. I bought my first house when I was 26 and then my second when I was 32.…

The fire chief told us that an apartment complex in downtown Boston had gone ablaze, and that it was really bad. We quickly got into our uniforms and hopped on as the fire truck left the station. We were a few miles away before I saw the smoke, a dark giant against the bright blue sky.…
