My senior year in high school was in Charlotte North Carolina, growing up I would never have guessed that I would be graduating down south. I am originally from Buffalo New York, I moved to Abingdon Maryland around age six and then lastly to Charlotte about halfway through junior year. Moving to Charlotte was a huge transition for me in the aspect of a culture shock as well as different level of maturity. As much as I hated moving to Charlotte I am thankful because It changed a lot about me for the better. It took me moving away to see how stagnant the people around me were. As a junior in high school I did not thinking about my dream school, life after graduation or my future; just enjoying myself and the people around me but not …show more content…

Next, semester is a time for a lot of action for my future, I need one class to graduate and I need to make more time for graduate school financing and planning. I can take that single class and drop to part time, which will substantially reduce my financial aid and void my housing.

    Baltimore, Maryland: A Cultural Analysis

    For the next five years I lived in White Plains, New York and living there was unique, in that owning a vehicle was obsolete. I was able to walk to the store, the park and to school. The ability to walk everywhere gave my the opportunity to build relationships with my whole community and to many, it may come as surprise that even with living in a big city most of the people living within it knew each other. Even though I come from a culturally distinct country and lived in the city that never sleeps I can only call Baltimore, Maryland my home. Living in Baltimore, has had a big impact on my life because it has shaped my identity and personality.…

    Personal Narrative: Moving Away From North Carolina

    Moving here from North Carolina when I was four changed my life completely, I was away from my family who I lived with my whole life, thrown into a school with a bunch of kids who lived here since they were born and told to “make friends.” This changed the next 13 years of my life to something I can never picture not having. The first four years, both my parents had full time jobs and my grandma helped raise me a lot, she taught me so many manners and how to behave, she even ended up living across the street from me for 2 of those years, they were rough for my parents, new baby, just moving, having to find jobs, making friends, and getting food on the table for me. Thats where my amazing family came in, with bringing home cooked meals…
