I have done a lot of moving throughout my life. My father works for a company that has made us move quite a bit, so I grew up all over the country. The hardest part about moving around at such a young age is the fact that every time I would have to move, I would have to relocate to another school and make all new friends. This was difficult at a young age because every time I would more somewhere else, something different would be in style. I would be an outcast until I met that style requirement.
Another thing that was hard for me when I had to move is that every time I would start a new school, I would either be ahead or behind on where they were teaching the material. I remember moving from Missouri to Mississippi, and getting to Mississippi when I was just learning multiplication. The class I joined was already learning to divide, so I was really confused. It took a lot of work on my part, but I was able to pass.
When moving, I remember we would make a moving checklist. This list would be comprised of everything that we needed to do when we moved, and everything that we needed to do when we were settling in our new home. The list would include such items as what to pack, what we wanted to bring, and what would get thrown away. It would also include things like clean the floors, or repaint certain walls.
Most of the times when I moved as a kid, my family used one of the many long distance moving companies out there. This was such the case when we moved from New Mexico to Florida. I remember flying and getting to see our new home, but not being able to stay there because it would take four days for all of our belongings to arrive.
The last move that I participated in was a short move just down the street. We ended up using a Florida moving company for this one. We currently live in Orlando, and so it was not hard to find a company that would transport our belongings two miles down the road. This was the easiest move I can remember we have done, because we were able to basically move into our new home in one day, and not have the hassle of waiting for all of our belongings to arrive.
