oh...i think i get it..then again...maybe not?

I’ve been away from home for around ten months now and I say, it can be fun and it can be totally miserable sometimes. At first, sure it’s fun being out without having parents control your every movement but then again, after some time, you’ll start to miss it.

As some of you might know, I’m not the kind of person to get homesick. I’ve never been the type to get so homesick until I cry at night. No, I am definitely not that kind of person. Perhaps in another’s eyes, I am the kind of person that is tough and needs little help. Partially true since I am also human I cannot do everything on my own. I need help from time to time.

Back in 2008, I attended a 14-day camp in OBS. At first I felt nothing but when I took some time to think, I thought ‘wow, it’s going to be two weeks before I see my parents again.’ When I told my instructor that, she was ‘aw..Zhi Ying is homesick.’ I was shocked at her comment. So that was what homesick is, the feeling of wanting to see your family. I finally understood what homesick was, and it took me 16 years.
