Personal Narrative: My Move

Improved Essays
I was raised by both of my parents, and grew up with two sisters. We moved a lot when I was little, then we got a stable home for 3 years while I was attending elementary in Mexico. Everything seemed to be perfect. Then the worry in my dad's eyes appeared. I was too young to understand, I was only told that we had to move because dad needed a better job.

    It was convenient. I remembered i would cry every night and often annoyed my mom to go back, my mom was having an awful time too. However, we were fortunate that we have my aunt’s family over here that took care of us,providing shelter and food for years before we adapt to the American life. The most horrifying part was going to school because i did not know a single word of English nor i could make any friends, therefore, i felt isolated from others.

My family and a few members of my congregation went on a mission trip to Duluth and Superior. We did a variety of things such as helping people in hunger stricken areas, working and arranging clothes in a woman’s shelter, and spending time with kids at Superior’s Boy’s…
