Separated Past and Future
What came up in my mind were depression, fear and expectation.
Past was difficult to relinquish. Checking the phone, I couldn’t stop my missing reveal out from my face. Those messages wouldn’t include anything about me. I am leaving the world with them, my families and friends. After I go, their lives continues. My friends go by different ways after that summer. We were the best team of the world. 3 years of middle school gave us uncountable memories that can not be erased. Different from American, classmates in China have more closer relationships. More than 40 people work, eat and do activities as a tight group. 3 years of middle school may become the rarest memory of my school life, but now I am leaving. Distress was full of my mind, even they said do not miss them. When I saw the tear drops on my grandfather’s face, I gave him a smile. I never saw he tear. He stood in the parking place for a long time. Since I was born, my grandmother never left me for more than 2 weeks. I know that she would take sleeping pills tonight. When I left, I found the best place for me had been far away from me.
Future would be hard to foresee. The experience I had in China can not fit in America anymore. Since I arrive in JFK airport, I would be a foreigner. That position change is hard to be accept in a short time. I am scared. I am the only one who can take care of myself. Even I told my parents I will look after myself, I know I can do that much. Everything would be different there. I left my familiar room; what waiting for me is an stranger. I dropped my study; what waiting for me is another language. I am really scared of I can’t do well there. At that time, how can I say to my teacher? How can I face to my friends? Everything is unknown.
But I was also going with hope. There was an unknown future, waiting outside the plane. It was unknown, so it had infinite possibility. That brand new world had already opened its door. Who knows what would happen in the future. It might be a world that more suitable for me. I was holding my fantasy dream in my hands. Why I always think about bad thing? New friends are there, New classes are there. Those are my new life. Although I am a person who wants to live in the past, I can not stop my expecting. America was that mystical and remote before, but this time I would stay there for several years. It is really a satire for me that I left precious past to look for a unreachable future. “Don’t be afraid.” I told myself. Although it could not give me courage anymore.
