I had never wanted to live the life I was born into, but after fifteen years and a turning point in my existence, I wanted to escape more than ever. Who could have imagined that a few days on the road could change so much… Certainly not me. When I think back to it now, although what I did was horrible, I wouldn’t change a thing. I’ve been running for ten years now, running from the dreadful life I was so desperate to escape from. If I stopped, I would be filled with terror thinking they may catch me. And I’m sure you’re wondering what could scare someone like me so easily… Well my answer will be told through the next few pages. This is the story of what made me escape. I spent my whole life wanting, needing, to be free. But I never imagined that I would actually do it, I had never had a liable reason… At least until Lawerence. …show more content…
All I had to do, grab the girl and run. As I approached the off-white door to her apartment, exactly the same as every other in the seemingly mirrored halls, I observed my surroundings. The dim lights evenly spaced on the tattered white ceiling, the pale green walls with chips of paint forming near the trims, the grayish floor was the only clean part, so much so I see the outline of my reflection under my feet. We were almost to the door when my mind began to race, I kept replaying what I thought would happen over and over again. But my expectation proved to be far from reality. Gústöv and I arrived at the doorway, I ordered him to bust open the door (which after a matter of seconds fell flat on the floor with a crack). We rushed into the apartment, guns at hand, to find a guy with his hands up begging us not to shoot. I personally would have left him alive, but Gústöv had to do his part (“eliminate” any and all witnesses). From our view Ellie was nowhere to be seen, until she peeked out from behind the bathroom door. * *
It was a small town in Cornersville, Ohio. Nothing much ever happened in this small town until one day. A new family moved in one afternoon. Everyone was surprised because no one even noticed the house being built. Everyone was still delighted that they moved in because the couple, Bob and Nancy, were very friendly. Bob and Nancy helped with all the activities in town and were very generous. A couple of weeks after they moved in, a lot of strange things began. Money started disappearing, the lights in the town went out every night except for Bob and Nancy's lights, even people's pets went missing. One night, everyone's lights went out at 11:30 as usual, except there was an extremely loud noise. The neighbors went outside to see where all the
In the heat of summer 2011, I moved from small town Statesboro, Georgia to Columbia, South Carolina. I was only six at the time, so I hadn’t really thought much about moving to a new house, new school, or even a whole other state. In actual fact, I was mostly enthusiastic about moving. This was a both positive and negative experience for my whole family. This was the year my whole life changed.
Nobody really likes to move. At least, I know I don’t. We were living with my grandparents in Tashkent when I was in second grade. We moved into our house in Manhattan when I was about 9 years old. Life was going great. I had lots of good friends that I had been around for a lot. I really liked where we were living and I did not want to leave what I had always known.
Ines Hernandez-Avila’s article, “Relocations upon Relocations: Home, Language, and Native American Women’s Writings” argues that Native American women are negotiating their own terms as they attempt to reestablish their cultural identities. Native American women often overcome abuse, alcoholism, rape and other atrocities, serving as important topics discussed in their poetry. Another argument addressed in the article states that the concepts of home and community are fluid for many Native American poets. Because of Native American enslavement and exile, many poets discuss how their ancestors consider their homes to be wherever they can gather and share their common experiences and language. The final argument made in the article examines how relocation, particularly the policies that sent Native Americans away
I pretend I'm good how to move on when I'm still scared you told me lies that you will always protect me but you used me.
The Journey of moving west was a big deal back then do to transportation and technology. But have you ever wondered why people wanted to move west?

“Honey, I got laid off again” my dad told my mom when I was about ten years old. At the time though, I didn’t know what was going on, so I really didn’t think anything of it. As I got older though it started to get clearer that he didn’t have his job anymore. That’s when i started to ask question on why he doesn’t have a job anymore. But during during the ages 12 and 15 he had gotten rehired by the same company, and then they laid him off again. The second time though, it took a pretty bad toll on us financially.

Before leaving the office, which was clearly designed by the driving force of the new Chief of Staff occupying it, which at a glance might have appeared to be more medical library than office; Katherine checked her watch for the time. It had been a long day and there were forty-eight more hours of it. God, she thought, would this day never end? But closing the door behind her, she put exhaustion aside and proceeded to take her place in line with the others – at the trough down the hall.
The year was 1994 and you had officially been with your boyfriend Tate for two years. You laid in his bed cuddling with him. He was talking to you about the world, his mother, his siblings, Kurt Cobain, and everything else. His voice had a calming effect on you and you thought anything he said would have relaxed you. “My mom gave me another speech about not knocking you up,” Tate said.
Moving far away from family and friends can be tough on a child at a young age. It has its pros and cons. One learns how to deal with moving away from the people they love and also learn how to deal with adjusting to new ways of life. Everything seems so different and at a young age one feels like they have just left the whole world behind them. That was an experience that changed my life as a person. It taught me how to deal with change and how to adjust. It developed me from a young boy into a mature young man.
Typically, people like to think getting up and moving to another country is as easy as it sounds. People leave their home countries for various reasons, to escape as a refugee, or immigrate for a change in life. As easy as it seems to be there are so many roadblocks along the way.

The history of Israel is important because it dictates as to why immigration and leaving that country to go to others in the Middle East is impossible. People have been dealing with war, military, religious, and gender regulations in Israel
When I learned I was moving to another country because my dad got a new job opportunity there, I was overwhelmed at the fact I was leaving everything behind and broadening my horizons elsewhere. I was emigrating from Pune, India to Minneapolis, Minnesota and I was 7 years old.
Growing up, this is the world the children wanted, it was what we knew as normal. We procrastinated because deep down, we were scared to take the plunge. Indifference and change scared us. That was until we were old enough to understand that society had a habit of sweeping things under the carpet, not to talk about them or worse, pretend they never happened.
