669 Words3 Pages

And from that point on I knew that my life was about to change, and I was going to have to change with it, for the better or for the worst. Thinking to myself I thought, “Everything and everyone that I have ever known from the 3rd grade up until the end of my sophomore year in high school is disappearing,” and I knew it was all turning into something that no longer had meaning where I was going. I felt like I was empty, abandoned, and lonely, as if I was a young child inside a Walmart and I had lost my parent. My attitude was a choice that I had to make about soon approaching situation, I could become pessimistic about the fact that I was leaving all of my friends or I could think about all of the new opportunities that were on my horizon, and for me the choice was easy. A week or two passed and it was the first day of football …show more content…

It was the first time I had to overcome an obstacle like this and also it was very hard because of the timing of the move being right before the start of my junior year in high school. This experience was very beneficial for me as a person because it helped me relate to how others that may not have as many friends or are put into a new situation feel when they are forced out of their comfort zone. The mindset I went into this situation was that it was an opportunity for me to change into anyone I wanted to be and that was exciting for me. It helped me to improve my social skills in my new school in order to make all new friends and I know that these same skills will help me in the future for a job or going off to college where I will encounter the same obstacles as I was faced with when I moved to

    It was initially overwhelming, but I eventually learned I could do things independently and did not always need people to assist me. In my previous school, I relied very heavily on my friends to get me through school; if I was confused, they would have to teach me, and if I was uncomfortable, they would go out of their way to fix whatever it was. Going to a new school and experiencing new things and people helped me develop myself more, so in grade eleven, when I returned to the previous class that I knew, I no longer felt helpless when there was no one to hold my hand through it all. This is similar to the singer in “Cry, Ophelia” because he had to grow as a result of disconnection. Another separation that significantly affects me is not knowing where the people I love are.
