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. But 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 spoke a lot. 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 wanted
to do that. As a result, I found the air changed, everything became beautiful
again.
Since the relationships between
people are so magical, we soon became good friends. 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.
