The Move

Author's Note: this story is about how moving can be a life changing event, for the better or the worse. It just depends on what you do with it.

When your mom and dad say, “We’re thinking about moving”, It can be exciting and a little bit scary. It can be exciting because you get a whole new view and it’s just something different, yet moving can also be scary if you move to a new school or even a new state. Thank goodness for me  when my parents said, “We’re thinking about moving”, but I was staying in the same area. My fear about moving to a new school didn’t come true because  I was just moving to a different house. Moving can be a life changing experience for the good or the bad, it just depends on what you do with it.

The biggest emotion when moving is excitement. The definite most exciting part when moving is when you first step inside the house and you can almost smell the newness. You can’t help but to smile when you get the full tour of the house. In my case it’s hard not to bicker with my sister about which room I want, but as smart as my parents are they told us just to keep our game faces on and wait until the realtor was gone the we could start our little war.

Yes there are a lot of exciting things, but on the other hand there are some scary things. In one case if you move to a new school you have to start a new friendships with new people and that isn’t always the easiest thing to do. In another case if you move let’s say from Wisconsin to somewhere down south where they have accents you could sound funny to them. One thing I think that really is hard about moving to a different state is adapting to the new weather. If you move from Florida to Wisconsin the winters are going to seem like you are in Alaska.

Over all moving is a very fun experience, if your moving 5 minutes away or your moving 5 hours away it’s still fun. Yes it can take a month or 2 to move but it’s worth it in the end. Even if you do move to a new school or a new state you will eventually find someone that wants to be friends with you, it’s bound to happen. Those are the reasons I think move is a life changing experience.
