Personal Narrative: Moving Into My Home
I moved into my home when I was about 4. They house we used to live in was going to be too small once me and my sister, Mira, got older. I was very sad that we were leaving the house I had lived in my whole life. I had many fond memories for it, such as my dad building a playing structure for me and my sister. I remember thinking that I had a say in which house we were going to buy, and I thought that I had a part in making such an important decision, which I know now is preposterous, but I felt proud to be making choices. I remember missing my old house, with the play house that my dad made, and the stairs up to my bedroom, which seemed so tall. This new house had no stairs. I remember meeting our new neighbors, Manny, who really like vintage pinball machines …show more content…
I missed that house, but at the same time, I really liked the new friends I had made in my new neighborhood, like Bo and Cole. They were a few year older than me. I was good friends with them for a while, and we would hang out almost every day. Eventually, when they got older, they realized how much younger I was, and they became annoyed with me. That is when they started being mean to me, and I was so young I didn’t really realize it. They starting making fun of me and stuff, and it got to the point where my mom had to make me stop playing with them. At the time I was so young i didn’t even know that I was being taken advantage of but looking back on I can see that they were being very mean to me. Another friend that I made was Tim. He was closer to my age, but still a year older. He quickly became my best friend, and everyday after school as he was walking home from the bus stop he would stop at my house and have a smoothie that my mom made and cheese and crackers. After that we would climb a tree in my backyard. We had a lot of fond memories from that. As you can see, where I lived dictated a lot about who I was friends with and what was happening in my

    This was supposed to be where my dad was going to retire and where he said we were going to stay forever, this meant no more changing schools and no more starting over, I was ecstatic. My best friend in Virginia was a girl named Amanda who I referred to as Manda Panda. She had long, straight brown hair. Her body was built like a boy’s, her shoulders wide, her torso long. Our minds were identical, we could finish each others sentences, knew what each other was thinking without even speaking and very frequently would come home from shopping with our parents with the same items. We were your typical giggly, boy crazy girls. She was my favorite person in the world. When I moved to Virginia it was around the end of my fifth grade year, Amanda and I were extremely lucky to be in most of the same classes and we were inseparable in and out of school. My dad eventually retired after almost five years of us living in Virginia however, he decided that he wanted to move one more time. I was devastated. My parents promised me we wouldn’t move anymore, having to continually start over was rough for me. Being the new kid and the awkwardness of not knowing anyone, learning a new school and leaving behind your friends was supposed to be over. I became…

    During that time we lived in a studio in my grandpas house. The school i attended at the time was Dwight eisenhower elementary. Everyone thought i was a genius because i got 4 diplomas at the trimester awards while everyone got two or one. What i remember the most from living with my grandpa was every weekend he used to knock at our door at 7 am just to come talk to us. It was annoying because he wouldn't stop until we opened the door. He was always so eager to spend time with his grandkid. It was nice being the only child,but then came 2006 and i was no longer the queen of the house. Before i knew it in 2008 we had another package included into my family. Our family was growing rapidly so my parents decided to move out into a much bigger house, which is where i live today.

    The first house my father built was constructed room by room and took more than 25 years to be built, a continuous work in progress. The original house was built in the standard square format without standard electricity and started with just four rooms: living room, dining room, kitchen and bedroom. The bathroom was located about 70 feet away in a little draw or valley from the house, which during the winter could be cold as the wind blew snow in during the most inopportune moments. New square rooms were attached to old square rooms as the house expanded outward to accommodate our growing family.…

    A couple of years ago I got kicked out of my house. Homeless, I had literally no where to stay or anyone to turn to. I had never opened up to anyone about my home life situation. Due to my upbringing in a predominantly rich, christian neighborhood I didn’t feel like anyone would understand my abusive parents or try to help. When I got kicked out I was sure that was the end of the line for me.…

    The morning sun hits me through the windows and I force my eyes open only to see my beloved beside me. His pale face contains a pair of smiling eyes and saliva that’s coming out of the tip of his lips. I couldn't resist but to place a gentle kiss on him while removing the sticky water off of him. Soon I slowly pull myself up in a sitting position next to him. Trying not to wake him up, I turn my head to the panda holding the clock that is showing 7:38 in the morning. I massage my sore arms as I move quietly out of the room. The bright sun lightens the living room as I close the room door behind me. What a great start in the morning with the warm sun shining. I quickly washed my hands in the kitchen sink, which is right next to the living room. Then I…

    The road for my junior year was definitely somewhere in Georgia on a dirt path through the hills, a bump doesn’t really do it justice. To Begin this year was not the greatest at home, my parents and I got into it a few times one of which ended in me attempting to live independently, getting my first job, and having to return home. A few weeks later a night when going out with two of my buddies, we came back to our car getting robbed startling the robbers as we approached they began shooting at us and my friend took a bullet to the stomach luckily missing his main organs, he recovered well and is doing great now.

    I never had a childhood which you see in the movies. I spent most of my time playing with my friends or going to school. My parents had a language barrier because couldn't really understand english and I was their personal translator. Since I could speak I would explain to people what my parents were trying to say. They knew how to speak a bit of english but not enough to have full conversion or convert the message across. When I was twelve years old my dad and I started working on the tax returns, and that was a huge swing in the amount of which they relied on me. It took awhile the first time but I got used to it. Early 2013 my parents decided to buy a house and the whole process was left up to me. I had to work with the real estate agent…

The night before I was having nightmares on how the day may go. I left the camp at 10:00 in the morning and made my way home. It was a 5 minute drive, but it felt like millennium.

The pain of having to bring my brother to a different home. I turned to the window and thought about the summer. In June we knew that something was not right. He had been having a lot of behaviors from the start of April. He was starting to get more…
