Personal Narrative: Moving To Fresno

461 Words1 Page

So last year in my hometown my mom had approached me and told me that we were moving to Fresno. And that I would be moving to a new school. The thought of leaving, scared me and just made me so angry and full of woe. I have stayed in the same place my whole life. It is where I met my closest friends, it is where I had my first steps, it is where I have done everything. And I also had to make new friends which I suck at, and was soo scared to do. I was mostly scared of what everyone would think of me. And just curious about how everything looked and where everything was. And after all that scaredness and anger it finally came, the first day of school. It was time I had to try and make new friends and go to this humongous new high school and try to fit in. …show more content…

I decided to not say anything and just stay in my lane and hang out with my older brother, who had already made a numerous amounts of friends. But, he eventually got tired of me, so it was actually time. I had to try and make an effort to make my own friends. It was the second week of school and I remember it like it was yesterday. It was the craziest thing, so I was in my science class and there was this girl Marissa by herself so I walk in and ask "is this seat taken" then she replies "no go ahead." So I sit down and we get to talking. And I could not believe it, we were from the same exact place, and we were both new. We were so shocked, it was so crazy. And she was also hanging out with her brother until she met me so it was pretty cool that we were each others first friend. I just kept thinking to myself " this is the coolest thing, we have so much in common what are the odds." And so me and her had became like the closest friends. Then I started making more and more and eventually became overcrowded with all these brand new caring people in my life and just felt so happy and

  • Personal Narrative: El Paso, Texas

    403 Words  | 1 Pages

    El Paso, Texas is a relatively large city with a small town attitude. It is one of those cities that grows on you. I embrace the laid back lifestyle and bi-cultural environment - it’s given me an opportunity to develop a unique bicultural identity that influences my motivation to succeed. Especially, being the daughter of an immigrant that upholds Mexican culture. The majority of the population is hispanic, which gave me the sense of mexican traditions that I would share with my family in Mexico. Growing up bilingual ironically provided me comfort in the community. Also, the efforts of the community are being made to modernize and improve the city.

    Many folks go their whole lives without having to move. For them it is easy; they know the same people, have loads of friends, and never have to move away from their families. As with me, I was in a different situation. I grew up my entire life, all eighteen years of it, in a small town called Yorktown, Virginia. In my attempt to reach out for a better life style, my girlfriend and I decided we were going to move to Shreveport, Louisiana. Through this course of action, I realized that not two places in this country are exactly alike. I struggled with things at first, but I found some comforts of home here as well.

At least one year ago, my family and I moved to a place that is the exact opposite of Colorado which was Phoenix, Arizona. Months before moving, we got rid of all clothing that resembled winter apparel because we all knew it was not going to be needed again.

  • Moving Away at a Young Age

    The day I moved away, a lot of things were going through my young mind. As I took my last look at my home, I remembered all the fun times I had with my family and friends through out my life. Now I was moving 800 miles away from all of that with no insight on what lied ahead for me. As my family and I drove away from our Michigan home, I looked out the window wondering what Virginia would be, and what my friends were doing. A lot of things were going through my mind at the time. At the time my main worry was if I would make any friends, and how I would adjust to everything. During the whole drive down, my mother would often let me know that everything would be all right and I would like it. Trying to be strong and hold back my tears, I just shook my head no, wondering why we had to move so far away. Life would be different for me and I knew it would.

    Later that day a lady came storming into the room shouting, “they are ready for you guys!” I was in my last bits of energy and falling asleep. The last thing I remember was leaving that nasty, smelly room and getting on a truck. From there everything else is history, we crossed the border without being caught and met up with one of my aunts, in Arizona. Then, traveling to Oregon in where we would start our new lives. The ride from Arizona to Oregon was fascinating and it all seemed out of this world to me, there were buildings, cars and trees, all in which I had never seen before in my life back in Mexico. It all seemed too good to be true, was I in a dream. The most thrilled I had was when I saw my old man waiting for us at the door of our

    Growing up, my mother lived in a typical two-bedroom home, had a traditional family setting that included a mother, father, and younger sister in a small town. For those reading my story, it might be hard to imagine why a typical middle American family would move to a Commune in California. Let’s start at the beginning. Small town Boise, Idaho in 1953, a cold Sunday morning a church service was to begin at the Owyhee Plaza Hotel, in which like most Sundays, my mother (Barbara) and grandmother (Muriel) headed to church. At the time their church affiliation was with the Church of Religious Science, which they dearly loved. Sitting in hardback chairs and talking before the service, they noticed a visitor who had just walked in. It was out

  • Personal Narrative: My Journey To Los Angeles

    Growing up, I was very fortunate to have hard-working, loving, and supporting parents who provided my sister and I with a good life. A good life to me means having a roof over our head, meals everyday, an allowance for our basic needs, and family trips every so often. Last year on November 1, 2014 my mother Sandra and I decided to go to Los Angeles, CA to get some shopping done and have a nice meal at one of our favorite restaurants. Once we arrived to Los Angeles, we witnessed so many homeless people on the streets who are living in their tents and asking people for change at all times. This struck me because often times one does not realize how fortunate they are until they witness others who are struggling on a day-to-day basis begging

    It was a great year, my dad recently got a new job and my mom got a promotion at her job. I did not know that everything that I was accustomed to was about to change. I was in a very small school from kindergarten until fifth grade where there were about ten people in my grade throughout elementary school. This is what I lived with and this was what I was used to. Because of this, when my parents told me that I was moving to a new city and was going to go to a public school, I was petrified. I would have to move away from all of my friends that I have known since kindergarten, my teachers that I have known since I was five, and my elementary school, which would all eventually become a blur in my mind. The thought of leaving all of the things that I have known my whole life was terrifying. To add on top of this,
