My_Last_Day

MY LAST DAY My entire family gathers in the house to say their last word to me, as I was preparing to leave to leave. Simply because am the first one in my family to leave for overseas. I could bear hold my tears not to mention my mum. “How are you going live”' “What are you going to do school or job”' Those were the question floating the air as we were discussing. But within myself I was just thinking about the US. Seeing myself watching the tall skyscraper. It all started on a Friday Nov 21, 2009. I was about to leave everything behind and take another great adventure in my life. As the fowl crow for the early morning, I was the first to get up from bed and prepared for the early Morning Prayer. After praying I went back to bed to continue my sleep, unfortunately I was not able to. I therefore decided to get up and prepare myself and do some other things. I wanted to buy the outfit which am going wear for my special trip. My cousin who came purposely to witness and share some time with me before I leave, to my surprise have bought me a nice dress from Guinea, which make me look like as a Prince. Guinea is the country where both my parent came from and it is the neighboring country of ours. It is like seven hours drive from both capitals. We therefore went out to say good bye to some relatives. After two months of getting my Visa to come to the US, It was one of my happiest moments I can recall, but also which is going to make me to leave my entire lovely family. The time I get my Visa came as a surprise, because I have submitted my papers for more than one year. After about an hour and a half of parading from one relatives house to another, it was time for me take that bubble and cold shower that I won’t be taking there for a long time. As a Muslim, the Friday was important to us as the Sunday worship is for the Christian. After taking shower, I went to the Mosque directly for prayers. Unknowly to my knowledge it was my father who was giving the preaching that day. His preaching was about the relationship between the child and their parent. The preaching lasted about thirty minutes. After which we went home and it was time to eat with family for the last time. I was so hungry that I could eat a whole cow. It was my most fun time with the family whiles we were eating. Because at the time of eating, there are rules we always have to follow. After we finish eating, it was time to take some memorable picture with my mum and dad since they are not going with me to the Airport. As it was time for me to leave to go and catch the ferry before going to the Airport. My parents grab both of my hands and said “Be careful of whatever you going to do in life and stay focus” ’’Ok mum’’. And also she said “Don’t promise anything to anybody that u can afford to do” And my dad took it from there “Son, just be yourself and don’t let anything full your eyes, as this World is full of vanity”. Their voices were like an Angel. That was the last face-to-face talk to them. I promise them that I will do all my best to keep up with their words. I then took off with my crew of brothers, sisters and friends to the airport. For us to go to the Airport, we have to cross a river or else you drive for more than four hours, but crossing with the ferry make it easier and shorter. It is about fifty minutes when you use a ferry to cross. Unfortunately for us, we missed the ferry and therefore the only option for us is to take a make shift boat (canoe) it is kind of risky. That was the only option available because time was flying like a manner from Heaven and my checking time was approaching so fast. We make it safely to the Airport. After finishing my checking, I came back to my crews and share some wonderful time with them. We eat food, drink some sodas and take some nice and beautiful pictures and we have a real great fun at the Airport. After about thirty minutes, they call us to board our flight. After leaving them, I came to realize how they were important to me; forcing me to go to school and take every opportunity that comes my way serious. They put me in the right direction in my life which I believe it is for that reason am here today. My goal is to complete my education and get a better job, so that I will go back and take great care of them. I missed and love my family. That was my last day with my lovely family; I can’t wait to see them again. That was my last day with my lovely family; I can’t wait to see them again
