A Sad Moment

The most hardest thing I ever had to do was to move from one place to another.I would have to make new friends I thought, and adapt to a whole new way of living, but I knew that everything would be fine because I had my family by my side to comfort all my sorrows of moving.I had moved from Florida to New York in the year of 1997,I left everything behind friends,school and the place where I most adored.

In florida the palm trees always bloomed and the beach was always bright and those were the things I missed most,but beside all of that I was scared.During the weeks that I had left I spent most of it going to my favorite places and spending time with my friends and relatives,then it was time for me to start packing I felt sad and wondered why me and also what my life would be like living in a different place.When I started to pack tears were rushing down my face like a waterfall,my mom asked me "are you o.k",and I just replied ,yes.

On the way to new york,I knew that there was no turning back now,but I would still be able to visit my friends ans relatives in florida during my vacations and that made me feel a little better.When we arrived in new york.Although I've been to it before,this time it wasn't just a vacation it was going to be my new home,but I guess anyone whose ever lived in one place then suddenly relocate would be feeling the same way.

It was during the summer that we had moved,my mom did it this way becuse she wanted me to get better aquainted with the society.Then it was that time,it was time to start my new school and I was very scared I wondered,"what would the kids think of me?",and "will they make fun of me becaue I'm from another state."On my first day at Jamaica High School,I went to all of my subjected classes,but when I sat I felt taht everuone was looking at the New Girl,but I kept my fear inside and smiled.As the first month went by I had made a few friends and by then I was getting adapted to my new life and I thank my mother for help in making me believe that everything would work out for the best.

It's now been three years since that sad moment,but everthing worked out and now I have all of the same things as I did in florida,but it's still my favorite home and I kept in contact with some of my close friends in florida whom I visit everytime I go to florida.Moving may not have been the worst thing after all because during that time I met someone,who also attended j.h.s and helped me to believe that I shouldn't worry about what people think of me,but to succeed at my goals in life.When I think back to the time of my move I realized that it wasn't the saddest moment in my life after all.
