second final draft

For each person, there would be a moment really important to he or her. There were many significant moments for me and I sometimes forgot some of them. However, I can remember what happened when I first went to a boarding school. Homesick was so normal for everybody that went to a new school and I was also a member of that. However as a result, this experience helped me to be independent and helped me to find my best friend forever.

I opened my eyes, and it was already six o’clock. Where was I? I was still not getting used to where I lived that time. I started going to junior high school that time. That was the first time I went to a boarding school. After a month of school days and a seven days break, I started to have home sick.

It was just a normal day after the break. Octobers in Shanghai was always warm and peaceful. I would like the peaceful scene in normal time, but for the time that I had home sick, it just brought me irritation and anger. The leaves weren’t falling and seemed to be a little bit yellow; some small birds were on the branches. The soft winds blew to my face quietly. But none of these beautiful things can make me happy.

I started to complain in my mind. I did blame my parents who went to other cities because of work, I did blame my grandparents who left me and went to look after my little cousin, and I even blame my little cousin who took the love of my grandparents and make me to stay in a boarding school with home sick. It was a beautiful morning, but my mind cannot be as beautiful as that.

I stayed in the school’s dining hall by myself and I didn’t want anyone to stay with me. “Having no friends is better in this condition”, I thought. However, someone came to me without invitation. “What are you doing here? Eating breakfast by your own in a beautiful morning is really a waste of time!” she said. I was a little bit shy and I didn’t know what to say that time. Then, I just stayed and listened to her.

She tried a lot to talk with me. “Why you just don’t talk?” she was confused, “I think the best thing in the world is to talk with your friend!” She smiled like the sunshine in the sky. I looked in her eyes and saw the color that had been reflected by the light of the sun. I asked, “Are we friend? We even don’t have any conversation.” She answered happily, “Of course we are! And we can start the conversation now! Let’s see, um… what’s your favorite activity?” She spoke a lot and she’s really an outspoken girl. I knew more information about her later. She came to me and “forced” me to do things that I seemed don’t want to do. She knew I yearned for doing that. As a result, I found the air changed, everything became better.

Since the relationships between people are so magical, we soon became good friends. Later, my friend also helped me to join in the new place and I started to change to do something I seemed didn’t want to before. She made me felt better and told me what she felt when she got homesick at the first year of boarding school. As a result, I get into the new condition that I lived. Lastly, I want to say it’s difficult to live by yourself in a new place, and it’s really great to be a independent person, but if people have a friend, that’s even better.
