Summer

When I woke up today, I was greeted by rays of the red hot sun. I could not believe my eyes when I saw the bright sun shining in the blue sky. I used to be pampered by the warmth of the sun when I was back in my home country but now I began to appreciate this gift of God when the cruel winter stole away my red burning sun. I have to admit that sometimes I am so greedy that I want to see both the smiling sun and the happy snowman from my window but I know very clearly that it is impossible. In real life, we cannot have everything that we want since we will have to make a choice at certain stage of life. Have we made the right choice? We will never know the answer to this question even after we have taken responsibility for our decision because every path leads to a different life. However, throughout the process of making a wise decision, we learned. We learned to appreciate the people and things around us. We learned to sacrifice for love which is the most precious things in our life. I remember when I first came to this country; I told myself that I have to be strong enough to bear with the pain of not having my beloved family beside me. Since I have made the decision to study abroad, I will take the full responsibility for the choice that I made but this does not mean that I have to give up my love for my family. Even though they are so far away from me now, I can still feel their love and they will always stay in my heart wherever I am. They are people who shower me with love and give me support when I am about to give up. I own them so much but what can I do to repay them? Someone once says that love can never be repaid. I would say that it is true that there is nothing I can do to repay their priceless love. The only thing that I can do is to take good care of myself because I know that they love me so much that they only wish me to be happy always. Deep down, I know that I miss them so much but what can do? I can only wait. I can only wait for the summer to come. I can only wait for the time for reunion to come. But, before that, I will have to wait patiently for the time to come. Now, I can only welcome the arrival of the red hot sun with open arms and hope for summer to come.
