My Life

I am going to write about my life. I was born in Melbourne, Florida. If you do not know where that is, it is about an hour an hour and a half from Orlando. It is on the east coast. Most of the family on my mom’s side lives in Melbourne. I was not raised in Melbourne. I only lived there for about a year or two. After that, I moved to St. Petersburg, Florida. That is in the northeastern part of Florida. I stayed there for about a year or less. Then, I moved to West Palm Beach, Florida. This is about two hours away from Miami. I live there for about one year or less. From there, my family and I moved to Georgia. This took place when I was about four years old. We moved around two times in Georgia. We lived in Clayton County both times that we moved in Jonesboro. We stayed here for about four or five years, then we moved back to Florida. This time, we moved to Poinciana, Florida. Poinciana is pretty synonymous with Kissimmee, which is about thirty minutes or less away from Orlando. So, there were lots of tourists coming there. Most of the stores were like dedicated to tourists and the “great Mickey Mouse.” Like in a Wal-Mart that was there, they sold lots of tourist items and lots of items that had Mickey Mouse and other Disney related icons on them. So, as you could imagine, there were lots of people that did not know where they were going on the roads. There were also lots of Puerto Ricans and Hispanics in general in Poinciana and around that part of Florida that I lived in. This was alright though. Then, from there, my family and I moved back to Florida and live where we currently reside. We moved back to Georgia when I was thirteen years old. I had to start my second semester of ninth grade at a new school. It was kind of difficult at first, being a freshman and going to a new school without knowing anyone there, but I adjusted pretty quickly. The longest my family and I have lived in one spot will be six years in December. As you can see, my family moved around a lot, kind of like how a military family would. My dad is not in the military. He just keeps on getting job promotions that causes us to have to move. Right now, my parents are building a new house in Snellville, about five to seven minutes away from the house that we are living in now. This should be finished by the end of this year. It is a huge house. My parents said that this is the last time that they are going to move. I do not know if this is true because they always want to “grow”. By this, I mean they always want to get a bigger house with better things in it. In a sense, you can say that they are never satisfied. Well, that my life in terms of where I have lived my whole life.
