My first year at university

June 15, 2012

Today is the last day I come to my university in this school-year. And it has been one year since the first time I put my feet on this school. There are many things which have changed. For example, they are my school, my road to school and my life.

On the first day I went on the way to my school, although my father took me, I felt very nervous and worried. I did not know how my school would be. How about my teacher and myfriends? Will they be friendly and easy-going? Day after day, I am bigger, not my body, but my age. I am older and I have grown up more.

I learnt many things not only from my school but also society: the lessons of all myteachers, the behaviors of people and many useful experiences. I recognized many precious things. For instance, my parents look older. My friends are better and my studying is better, too.

A year has passed and I both received and lost many things. I have more truthful friends, good brothers as well as sisters and respectful teachers who help me during this year. And I am always grateful of them. Besides, I have more chances to practice myself. As a result, I have more experience. In contrast, I also lost some precious things! For example, I lost a friend who I used to be my close friend for 4 years because of her strange character this year. I lost some belief in many problems. I lost some opportunities to do part-time job. Anyway, I understand our life more because everything which have happened in my life teaches me a lot.

I am now familiar with a life which is far away from my family. Being homesick, sad, and lonely sometimes has become a habit. Not sometimes but usually, I am run out money. As a result, I have lived in debt more. I borrow money from my friends. Moreover, I used to put my student card in a pawn shop because of lacking of money. However, I feel very happy because it makes my life more colorful and funny, just in my mind! ^^^^^^^^^

In general, I am crazier. ^^ Although I grow up more, my character has not changed much. Although I recognize life is not easy for us to live, I am still an optimistic person. I laugh all day; and more specifically, my smile is as terrible as the time I was a high school student. In addition, I am more confident and active. And my friends give many new nick names to me such as: “crazy Huong”, “beautiful Huong”, “madam” or “the nightmare of all men”.

Today on the way I went to my room, I saw again everything which used to be close to me during this school year. It was 6.30 pm and the sky was dark. However, the bright lights of bulbs from many rooms in dormitory have lightened up my heart.

And I know I love my first year at my university! I love myself, my school, my room at dormitory, my friends, my brothers, sisters and teachers. I love my family. And I love Vietnam more.

Thank you all of you for everything you have done for me! I am always grateful of you and I hope all of you will forgive all my mistakes! If you come back to your home, please send my regards to your family! Thank you very much! Best wishes for you and your family!

Tomorrow I will return my hometown, where my family is looking forward to seeing me! Tomorrow I will hold my parents to account how many white hairs there are on their heads and I will lie my brother something because he is so stupid that he always believes all my lies.

                                                                                                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

But I will always love you and miss all of you!

See ya soon next school-year! ^^
