Today is Mother's Day :-) Happy Mother's Day to my mom and the mother on italki. Sorry, I didn't know today is mother's day till this noon. I'm busy in preparing the TOEFL test and school works every days. I used to call my mom every Sunday, but, this semester, I have a lot of works to do every day, so I usually forgot to call her. Several times, she called me and I realized that I didn't talk with her for several weeks. My mom loves me very much. Now, I study in a city far from my hometown and back home only in summer and winter holiday. I knew she misses me. I wanted to study abroad, which means I will leave her farther and the times I back home would decrease. Studying abroad takes a great deal of money, however my mom agreed. One holiday, when she was cooking, I chatted with her about my study. She asked me, did you feel lonely when you at school and will you feel lonely when you study abroad? Can I go abroad with you? I felt that my mom's voice was trembling and tears in our eyes. Words can hardly express my gratitude to mom. As I grow older, the schools I study in are farther and farther away from home. After watching a movie named Nuovo cinema Paradiso, I determined to study in a university located in other province and to experience some different culture when I was a high school student. My mom want me to work in my hometown which is located in a city between Guangzhou and Shenzhen after graduation. But I'm not sure, I would like to have a job in Shenzhen or Guangzhou. I hope my parents can enrich their life when I'm not at their side to accompany. What I written was the thoughts flow through my mind, so it's messy. ;-) What date is it today in your Country? Did you say happy mother's day to your mom? :-D PS: Here is the line from Nuovo cinema Paradiso, which motivated me to make the decision to study farther and want to find a job outside my hometown. " Alfredo: Living here day by day, you think it's the center of the world. You believe nothing will ever change. Then you leave: a year, two years. When you come back, everything's changed. The thread's broken. What you came to find isn't there. What was yours is gone. You have to go away for a long time… many years… before you can come back and find your people. The land where you were born. But now, no. It's not possible. Right now you're blinder than I am. "
