Moving My Sister Into College

By Rory Kennealy

There are always people that you are really close with. For me this is my family, my family is basically inseparable. We spend a lot of time together compared to most families. Last year this time was going to have to come to a close when we had to move sister into college.

It was August 20, 2019, my sister’s 18th birthday, also the day she was leaving for her pre-orientation trip for college. My brother and my mom and I were going to check her in and leave. We checked her in and left.

My brother and I were not sad at first, but once we got back into the car we started to cry. We knew that we weren’t going to see our sister that much. After we dropped her off we headed to the airport. My brother and mom and I were heading to California for a Disney convention. We got there and had an amazing week, filled with Disney parks, a Dodgers game, and three days at a Disney fan convention, but every day I was thinking about my sister. When we got back it was the day where we officially moved her into her dorm. It was tough we lifted heavy stuff, and. Decorated her half of her room. Then my mom and I singlehandedly put a futon together her and her roommates. After that, we ate in the dining hall with her. When we got back to her room my sister who never cries started to cry, and it was contagious everyone else started to cry. It was sad, but then I realized I had it easy. I could visit her a lot, and she was really close to me.

It didn’t matter that I cried, it didn’t matter that I didn’t get to see her as much as I did before, and It didn’t matter how close she was. All that matter was that I took a sad moment and looked on the bright side, and had a great time helping my sister move into college.

In the end, it might have been sad, but it got better and I looked on the bright side.
