Personal Narrative: My Learning To Move

Improved Essays
I went through many problems in my life especially in my high school career. The biggest problem I encountered when I was in my senior year and we had to move from Albania to the Unites States. This was a problem for my since I didn’t know how to speak any English or know anything about the Unites States. Moving was hard for me since I was planning on going to college and making my career. I didn’t have the option to stay since my dad work required him to move and my dad is paying for college. I had a bigger challenge then of just saying bye to all my friends, and that is getting to the Unites States. Flying, flying is something I just can’t do. It is not the heights that make me nervous; it is more to the fact of having a pilot control a 400 ton airplane that could fail. Being 17 and about to graduate made it very difficult to even think of moving to a different country. I also never really moved before so I don’t even know what it might be like. When my dad told me that we have to move I didn’t have much time to prepare. I was given one week to pack all my bags and say good bye to all of my friends. I had my whole life planned then …show more content…
So at that point I knew I had a problem that needed solving, and it needed solving fast since I had one day left before moving. I quickly just prayed and just said to myself if I die, it will be ok because it really does not matter since I’m died. This concept really helped although it does sound pretty negative it helped and knowing that fact that we were flying on a 5 star plane helps to know that we have a newer plane, this means newer technology and advancements. So I figures what the heck, just do it. So I did I went on the plane and yes I was nervous the whole entire ride however I actually did it without letting my dad know, if he knew I was nervous of flying he would of made fun of me and told just about

    I evoke waking up every 5 minutes checking my blue IPod to see the time. Every time I woke up I would look outside my gelid, frosted window and see the sky darken to a faint violent. As the sky lightens, I would awaken even more. Just as the clock hit 7:30 A.M. sharp my alarm went off, “beep, beep, beep” desiring that I had gotten more sleep. I had opened my eyes like I had 50 cups of coffee, and jumping out of bed like a deer running from its predator.…

    I learn the best when I am actually interested in the subject and when there is nothing distracting me paying close attention to what I need to know. I dont really learn by writing things down because I dont study so I dont look back at things I have written. Listening to hear is actually one of the ways I learn best because I do not like reading things I prefer listening to them for a better visualization. Visualizing things also helps a lot because sometimes picturing things in your head its easier to learn as well in my opinion. In class I work in the middle because its never fast or too slow when I work fast its because I feel the urge to finish as fast as possible and when I work slow its because I am not in the mood or I dont understand the work.…

Some people think it was easy for me to move from Australia to America, but really it is difficult to forget about.
