A transition that I experienced in my life that had a huge affect on my was when my family moved to a new home. My family is not that large - four people - yet we were outgrowing our home. I was ten when my parents told my brother and I that we were moving to a new house. Sometimes children are excited to move to a new home however my brother and I were not, in fact we were scared. Everything that we knew was was right around our home - our school, friends, baby sitters, and the park. Even though I was old enough to understand why we were moving to a new house but I was still not alright with it.
When we moved, my brother and I had a very hard time transitioning once we moved to the new house - my brother a harder time than me. Our new house was a lot bigger than our old house, I felt that it was too big. I spent the first seven months sleeping in a sleeping bag on the floor of my parents room because I was afraid to sleep alone in my own room. After that my brother slept in a sleeping bag on the floor of my room so that neither one of us was alone.
I'm not sure why the transition to our new house was so hard for me. I think that because I had to start a new school and make new friends I was completely out of my element. After this experience I had to learn to become a lot more brave. As a result of this I still have a hard time being in my house by myself. I think that is because it is an old house that makes noise and I am still not completely alright with the house.

My transition was when my boyfriend and I had to move back in with my parents. It was difficult because I was used to the freedom. I now have completly come comfortable with living here. I don't want to but I have no choice while I am in school. I think thinking about how what I am doing now will help me get to the next level helps me to get over this transition, until the next one comes along.

ReplyDeleteI have come to terms with my transition, it was something completely out of my control and although I will never forget the people that I lost that year, I will always keep with me the memories and lessons I have learned. I think what helped the most was having my family with me since they were going through the same thing at the same time. I had them to fall back on when things got the most difficult.
The factors that helped me get over the transition was my family and friends. Also, my drive to reach my goal of graduating college helped me stay on track. My family, although far away, was always available to call when things went badly, and I think this helped me brush off and keep going.
ReplyDeleteI have completely come to grips with the outcome. This transition is in my past and I never really have to think about it anymore, but if I wanted to, I would be completely happy with my choice. My friends were the biggest part of helping me get over my transition. They were really there for me when I didn't know anybody and made things go much smoother.
