Personal Migration

Personal Migration: Part 1

In eight years I will hopefully be finished college and pursuing a career. Where I would be living is a difficult question for me to answer because I can’t see myself anywhere than where I am right now. But I was to move somewhere it would probably be either far south or far north. I love it when it is very hot and when it is very cold. If I moved down south I would love to live by the water in Florida. Some push factors is that it is nice and warm down there and I love the ocean so I would be very close to it. So pull factors are hurricanes and that I will not be able to experience all of the seasons. No matter what the factors are I still don’t think will end up living there but it would be nice too.

The other place where I would like to live in the future is Syracuse New York. I love the cold weather and that is pretty much the only weather Syracuse gets. I can see myself at Syracuse more than I can see myself in Florida because I like the weather better there and there are more ups than downs when it comes to the weather. Some push factors is I love the weather and I don’t have to worry about the hurricanes and stuff like that. The pull factor is that it is a little too much of winter, I love the snow but I also love to be a beach bum too. I love the winter but I need to have all of my seasons.

In the end I think I will end up staying closer to where I’ve grown up, because where I am right now is home and that is always going to be a part of me.

Personal Migration: Part 2

            With my family I don’t have many elderly people in my family who know where were from and when we came to America. When I asked my parents they called my family a “mutt”. I didn’t understand at first what that meant so had to go ahead and do some research. I found that y family isn’t based off of one culture we are from all over the world. From England to the Czech Republic.

           My mom is from Annapolis and my dad is from Baltimore. No one in my family knows who the first to arrive in America was. The farthest I got on that topic is that I think my grandfather on my dad’s side is the second generation to live in America. My grandmother on my mom’s side says that her side of the family is from Ireland and my dad says that Otenasek is Czech republican. So right now I know I’m English, Czech republican, and Irish. My family is from all over the world and I like that. I’m not from one specific place. The main thing I am is American and I like that.
