Why Are We Moving Research Paper

“Why are we moving?” I whined, “I don’t want to switch schools again.” It was August 2010, and I had just been informed that we were moving again, and no matter what people say, it doesn’t get easier. This was the fifth time I had switched schools in seven years. “It’s a better situation,” my dad said, “It’s forty five minutes closer to my work, and we’ll have an acre of land all to ourselves.” I wasn’t convinced, but there was nothing I could do, so I packed my entire life into a few boxes and we were off.

    In the short story, “From B’wood to the Hood” the author Ryan Smith talks about the struggle of moving from one side of town to the other side. The first thing that stuck out to me in the story was when the author says, “I broke the news to my mother that I was moving from Brentwood to the hood”. This reminds me of when I recently decided to tell my mom that I was moving to Denver, Colorado from Lancaster, PA. Although she did take the news better than I thought, she still tried to talk me out of moving.

Another thing that popped out at me while reading was “my father separated from my mom”.…

Earlier that year I had gotten accepted into a program, which gave me the opportunity to attend college full time for my senior year.
