Personal Narrative: My Move

Decent Essays
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. My son was born in that second home but by the time he was ready for school I decided to move into a better school district and not move, at least not until he had graduated

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…
