I remember that night quite well. My parents sat at table, discussing with me if I would change to another school which was far away from my home. I was shocked when I got the news. My parents told me the reasons and asked me for advice.
To stay or to leave? I thought it over all night. I didn’t sleep well.
I enjoyed myself there. My teachers had a good impression on me. I got along well with my classmates. I had a lot of friends with whom we grew up together. We shared joy when I was happy and they encouraged me when I felt sad or helpless. But if I go to a new school, it will take a long time for me to be familiar with the people there. I was worried about the future.
But if I put myself in my parents’ shoes, how could I choose? They suffered a lot in the past few years: more than twelve working hours a day, being short of rest for a long time and little paid. Now there was an opportunity for them to find a good job with higher pay, fewer working hours and more time to relax. How could I be so selfish as to think of only myself?
The next morning, I made the decision: to leave with my parents.
I grow up a little more after each choice. Thanks to these difficulties, I learned to think more of others, be responsible for the family and adapt myself to the new environment.
