In fact, I have relocated five times before this most recent move. My family has been constantly on the move since my father landed an electrical engineering job at Siemens. Ever since, he had to travel abroad often, switching jobs at times. Eventually, my father found a job offering in California, and he asked me and my mother to join him. After that, the three of us have gone wherever my father’s jobs took him.…
Moving Day Moving Day, it’s an event organized by the Parkinson’s Foundation with the help of other partners to remember and celebrate those people living with this progressing disease that affects many of our elderly. It’s also an opportunity to create awareness, to educate the people about the effects of this disease that not only affects the elderly but can also have a slowly progression of symptoms in an early age, and it’s as well a great opportunity for funding. So, what is Parkinson’s disease?

Every single one of these characteristics affects individuals with PD in many ways, these symptoms vary from one person to another, some people may experience it differently.…
I had friends that I couldn’t imagine leaving, and I liked everything about living in Zanesville. We moved to Bloomington, Indiana, partly because of my dad’s job and partly because our entire family lives in Indiana. This first move was by far the hardest and most stressful for…
Moving to Texas was a long way because it wasn’t like we could just hop in the car and drive an hour or two to come see our family and friends back in Ohio. I thought about it for a few weeks and I finally…
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.…
“we keep moving forward,opening new doors,and doing new things,because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths” - Walt Disney. I’ve had three big moves in my life that had been hard for me, but not as much as this recent big move to San Antonio. It was a sunny, humid day in Edinburg, Tx and I was texting my best friend Mariela while she was home sick when my Mother texted my brother, sister and I that we were moving to San Antonio. I instantly became so full of anger because my mother wanted to move us away again after only moving to Edinburg six years ago.…
Moving schools was the worst thing for me, especially around the time of the year ! This happened in 5th grade , I moved on the last day of 4th grade. I moved to Washington, GA . I didn't like it at all from the start , we were in the middle of nowhere living with my grandma. Half way during the summer my mom surprises me by bringing a dog home, her name is KoKo.…
My dad and I got up around 3:30 in the morning and headed out on the seven-hour drive to our house in New Mexico. We filled up every bit of space in our enclosed trailer and began our trip home. By the time we got back to our house in Colorado it was about a sixteen-hour day. Moving back to Colorado turned out to be the best thing that happened to me at the time. I got to play football again even though it was for a short time.…
I had always moved around in my life, but this was somehow different. The hardest part about moving was going to be leaving my best friend, Cameron. She was the one who guided me through school since I was terrible in English. Wherever Cameron went, I went; wherever I went, Cameron went. We were like two peas in a pod and it was going to be hard to leave her behind.…
As a child I moved about every three years, because my dad was a officer in the Marine Corps. By age eight I had to leave the United States and move across the world to the island of Okinawa, Japan. Okinawa is a very tropical island, much like Hawaii or any other coastal place like that. The process of actually moving to Japan involved a total of twenty four hours on commercial flights and twelve hours in an airport for a layover. When my mother and I finally arrived we were greeted at the airport by my dad who had left before us to get things situated for our arrival.…
Things you experience are one of the major factors in who you become. I am 27 years old and have moved 26 times in my life. This has made me extremely resilient to a variety of situations, especially change. I generally welcome chaos and get bored extremely easily with repetition because I am so used to things changing frequently. Most of the places I moved to were similar enough culture wise, but some of the places, like Chattanooga, TN, were very different from what I was used to.…
There is nothing more disorienting in a child’s life than moving. I moved twice in my life, three times if you count going away to boarding school. Moving made me disoriented, but the people that I met kept me going. I first moved when I was seven. It was not a big move.…
Growing up, having a parent in the military was kind of tough. Having to pack up everything and move. Especially when that parent was relocated to a new base. I 've settled down for a few years, not up and moving or anything. As soon as the service in the military was over and my parents had divorced I was right back up moving around.…
When people realize they have to leave everything they have known, loved and cared for twelve thousand miles away from them the impact is so great. Some people think it was easy for me to move from Australia to America, but really it is difficult to forget about. When someone moves from one house to another they don’t usually leave the country where their family, friends and memories are. As for me, in 2011 my family and I traveled to the United States to look for a house to live in. My dad was offered a new job but the catch was that we had to move.…
