Day 1: Greatest Lessons I've Learnt

Today is the first day of the 30 day week challenge.

The main thing I've learnt in the last year is that no matter what, your true friends will always stick with you. Last December, I wasn't even sure if I was going to shift. I didn't know anything, and I wasn't supposed to tell anyone. In January, I told a couple of my really good friends, and they began to tell ME it would be okay, and that we would manage to chat everyday and do video calls once in a while. The only thing is that I thought we would shift the next December, not in June. By March, a lot of people knew I was shifting. But I still hadn't told everyone. In March, I decided to tell my whole group of 11 friends. A lot of them got mad at me, but everyone promised to keep in touch.

Let's jump to the beginning of June. 18 days before I left, everyone began to count down. I didn't go to school, though it had already started. So I sat at home, with no TV, and read about 3 books a day. I went to school once to donate some books to our library, and the surprise my friends got when they saw me was hilarious. Everyone was really happy and they all wanted to talk to me at once. Naturally, with 11 people talking to me at the same I could barely understand anything. They even whipped up a last minute card for me! What amazing friends! when the bell rang for the end of lunch, I had to leave, amidst loads of hugs and I think one of my friends cried. That was the last time I saw them.

The rest of the days till I left went by with a whirl of normality and excitement. Then came the day I left. I stayed out late with my friends, hanging around and talking. Then I went home for a while, to eat my dinner. As soon as I was done, I ran off to my friends house, and stayed there for an hour. As soon as I left her house, I went home just long enough to tell my mom I was going to another friends house and rushed off. I sat in my friends house on her bed as she did her homework and talked about everything we had done together. I went directly from her house to another friends house, at like 10:45pm. We stood outside talking till I had to leave.

As I left there was a large group of people who came to the gate to see us off, with everyone helping us carry our luggage and the large number of boxes we had. That was the best and worst day of my life at the same time.

Now you may be wondering why I wrote out this whole thing. The reason is that this last year proved to me that my friends would always stick by me no matter what. We're now in December, and since June, whenever I get the time, I've tried to talk to a friend I haven't spoken to yet. And evrytime I do that, my friends always talk to me like I had never left.

On that note, see you next Saturday!
