Sample Answer 

I moved to a new school in the middle of my freshman year of high school. I moved from my small hometown in South Carolina to a larger city in North Carolina. The move was necessary because my parents wanted to provide me with a better education and more opportunities. 

I was extremely nervous about the move, because I was leaving all of my friends and familiar surroundings. I was also scared about starting over at a new school in the middle of the year. However, I was able to make new friends and settle into the new school pretty quickly. 

I was able to take some of the classes I was enrolled in at my old school, so I was able to keep up with my studies. I also got involved in some extracurricular activities at the new school, which helped me make more friends and adjust to the new environment. 

Overall, the move to a new school was a great experience. It opened up a lot of new opportunities and experiences that I wouldn't have had if I had stayed in my hometown.
