I didn’t want to leave them behind and make all new ones. My mom and I finished loading the rest of my things on the moving truck that weekend. I left having tears in my eyes, and my friends saying good-bye. My mom decided to move to be closer to our family living in Pennsylvania. I went to a nice school filled with kind people. The only thing I didn’t know about, was the new move and how long it was going to last. Soon after a couple of months went by, my dad was fighting with my mom to see me.

That feeling only lasted for a moment, a small, tiny …show more content…
Our school was having a costume party during the day. It was called “Halloween Scare” and they were going to have it in the last week of October. Everyone was going to be there talking and dancing. Mom wanted me to go and I ever considered it, I even had a costume planned out. Two days before the dance, the TV was making a piercing sound. It was a hurricane evacuation warning.

    Moving schools away from all of my friends should’ve been an appalling experience, surprisingly, it was a blessing in disguise. I went to Agnes Baptist Elementary from kindergarten to 5th grade and I had friends that I've known since I was 3. I loved it there and knew the school like the back of my hand. Everything was superior, like most good things, though there were times where they weren’t, I was harassed by a bully almost everyday, my grades were getting inadequate, and my mom didn’t want me to be a sad, disconsolate 7th grader at a new junior high. In the result, I moved and I went to Savage Middle School, a school that had 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.…

    Moving away from everything you have ever known sounds like a very daunting task. It seems even more insane to move the summer before your senior year. Even though it was scary, moving 5 hours away my senior year taught me many important lessons. Just like Beowulf showing courage in his battles, I was courageous and started my whole life over. The giant move I made taught me that friends are not always true, happiness is self-caused, and life is too short to stay somewhere for familiarity.…
