“If you want to move, be ready because it takes a lot of money just to move.”

3. Reflect on the interview. Answer the following questions in two detailed paragraphs
of at least three to five sentences:

● Which category from the lesson best describes his or her reasons to move?

● What would motivate you to move out of state?
● Was your interviewee an intracounty or intercounty mover?
● How would you prepare for a move?
The category from the lesson that best describes her reason to move is housing because
she wanted to live in a better place and work because she wanted to get a better job.
What would motivate me to move out of the country is if a natural disaster happened or
for a better education. My interviewee was a intercounty mover. The way i would
prepare for a move is to see how much money im going to spend and make extra so i
have more money to spend just in case. Then I would pack all my stuff and move to
wherever I am moving.
