My First Trip Alone
Recently, I wanted to take a trip with my friends without any teachers or parents. I asked my friends about it, and we had different opinions. In the end, my friend and I set out to go to another city by train. We planned this trip in the middle of June for the second week of July. Everything was going good with ourselves. We were safe. My friend's father would take us by car to the train station and my relatives would pick us up when we arrived. This plan sounded very good for the both of us. We prepared for the little trip, but something came up and delayed my plans. The day for us to leave was on Friday, but my friend ended up getting very sick before then. On Wednesday night at about 8 p.m, I read her message. She wrote in her message about what happened to her and how she was very sorry for not being able to come with me. I thought for about two minutes I didn't know what to think, how to react. There was only one day left and I was alone. I remember I couldn't focus very well on the movie I was watching (because I was watching "Life" or something like it on TV and I read her message during the commercials) and I tried to think about the situation I was in. There was no way I could have postponed the date because the people who were waiting for me made a few plans. I didn't want to go with one of my parents either, which couldn't actually happen because my father didn't feel well at that time. I also couldn't find any other person to come with me. What would he have told me if I had suggested to him "Do you want to come to Iasi with me tomorrow?". Perhaps he would have told me I was insane. Therefore, after I cleared up my mind I said "That's it! I will go alone. What could happen? I'm not very young, I can handle it.". On Friday I was already waiting for the train, ready to go.
What happened was that I had a great time. I was worried for nothing. I saw a wonderful city and for ten days I forgot about everything I left behind. Sometimes I'm thinking of what it would have been like if I had gone there with someone. Maybe I would of have had a lot more fun, maybe not. Who knows? But I'm glad I did it. I didn't force anyone, my friend got better and I can say it was worth it and it was a pretty big step I made to mature. It wasn't like any other camp I went to, it was different.
My First Trip Alone
Since a little while I had wanted to take a trip with my friends, with no teacher, nor parents. I asked my friends about it, we had different opinions, and, in the end, my friend and I set to go to another city, by train. We planned this in the middle of June, for the second week of July. Everything was good, just us, safe. Her father was supposed to take us with the car to the train station and my relatives were supposed to take us when we arrived. This sounded very good for both of us. We prepared for the little trip, but something came up and shook both me and my plans. The target day for us to leave was picked up on Friday. But it happened that my friend got really sick, so on Wednesday night, at about 8 p.m. I read her message, in which she was telling me what happened to her and she was very sorry for not being able to come with me. I thought for about two minutes and I didn't know what to think or how to react. There was only one day left and I was alone. I remember I couldn't focus very well on the movie I was watching (because I was watching "Life or something like it" on TV and I read her message during the commercials) and I tried to think at the situation I was in. There was no way I could have postponed the date, because the people who were waiting for me made a few plans.
