I only have three more days left,I cant wait until I start college life but that means leaving behind my family,friends and my life for 18years!! For the first time in my life I'm going someplace else. For the first time I'm going to be the new kid in town, I wont have my room anymore or the familar faces and places to fall back on.
When I come home from school, my grandma wont be there waiting for me, asking me if I did well in school and saying she made me my favorite dish. My dad wont be there to joke with me or ask me if I need anything, my mom wont be there to comfort me and tell me everythings okay.
This is going to be the start of a new life, where now I have to take care of myself and make sure everythings done on time. My worries and sleepless nights wont be over if my best friend is still mad at me or the rerun of Friends but of passing finals and and making sure I graduate on time.
Altough i get excited too, when I talk about leaving and packing my grandma starts showing tears,she tries to hide it but I can see it through her. Before I always got into arguments with her but later we would talk as if nothing ever happened, it was like that between us, sometimes she seems more like my mom, since she was the one there for me when my mom went to work. She only seemed strong and never seemed to age, but today as I watched her hold back her tears I've realized how much she has weaken, how fragile she has become, like a young child. My bestfriend,my confidant,my guardian angel,my grandmother how can I leave her behind, now I wonder who will fight with her once a day, who will make her laugh, who will fix the video player for her when she pressed the wrong buttons, and who will be there for me, how can I leave behind half of myself.
