The Benefits Of Moving School

Decent Essays
When you are a child you realize if you fall it hurts and you can choose to get back up and keep fighting or let your injuries hold you back from happiness. I was five full of energy and competitiveness due to growing up with three brothers and three best-friends. Through elementary school those three best-friends turned into six best-friends by 6th grade we were tighter than the shoelaces my mom tied for me because i still couldn’t do mine quite right. By the third quarter that year my mom told me that we would have to move schools.

In disbelief my mind couldn’t accept somewhere else to call home. I have been around change my whole life but never got use to it. I was moving schools from Mt. Healthy a not so wealthy but a character filled

    My personal narrative essay is about my transfer from Bible Baptist to Savannah Christian and my feelings towards the process of transferring and the first day at Savannah Christian.

Finding out I was going to a new school could be compared to when I found out my first fish had died, heartbreaking.…

    When I moved from India to United States, I encountered an environment different from the one I had become accustomed to. In India I had a normal busy life burdened with school homework and I was satisfied with it that I never thought out of a box for a better life. Maybe the concept of what is a better life was never clear to me. However, everything changed when we moved to United States in 2014.
