Moving from North Carolina at the age of fourteen is more difficult than most parents think. When parents move, they often do not realize the effects that it has on their child; the emotions and nervousness of living somewhere new and feeling out of place. Toward the end of my ninth grade year my parents sat me and my sister down at the dinner table and they told us that we were moving to Ohio. I was shocked. I remember right when my parents told me that I ran to my cousin’s house which was right next to my house and told him that he was also shocked. Every day I use to go over and play videogames with him. So from then on whenever we had the chance to play together we did I was definitely going to miss him. Leaving my family and friends is going to be very hard. All the memories I have with my friends and my family can never be replaced and I will miss them dearly. Making new friends is not my strength. I knew however on the other side moving to Ohio would be a little easier because I have family in Ohio. While starting my tenth grade year at Washington High School I made very little friends that year.The reason why I don’t know but if I had to guess I would say the reason is that I was not real talkative and did not like to go somewhere where I did not know anyone and I did not know anyone that year I was the shy one. That’s at least what I was told. The only friends I had that year was the ones my cousin introduced me to and that was not a lot. Amazingly it all turns around my last year of high school.My cousin introduced me to her group of friends that she hangs with, which their names are Adam, Bri, Amanda, and crystal. Right now they are my best friends and I don’t know what I would do If I had never met them. They mean the world to me. I was making new friends like crazy. Going to parties and going to football games I kept making new friends. While still making new friends with my cousin. Everything was going great. I was thinking forget being so nervous...
