The First Separation

   It is very scary if someone is separated from someone they love. I faced that fear when I went to a camp for the first time. I was separated from my parents whom I love the most. However, I  thought that it was time to be separated for at least one day from my comfort-zone.

   My first separation from my parents was such a terrifying but exciting experience. I was in 4th grade at that time and I had to go to an English camp in Korea with my classmates for 3 days. That day, I looked at the long row of buses waiting to take me to a fun but dreadful place. But, I was very excited and had a big smile on my face. I said "Hi" to everybody I met who could be my friend that I would sleep with. After the bell rang we went out to the parking lot to ride the bus.
   As soon as we reached the camp, I was exhausted because of talking too much with my friend on the bus. As soon as we got out of the bus, we were assigned to our rooms. I realized that I was in the same room as my best friend. I was so happy and though that I was lucky. But, this happy situation led to a bad one.
   After one day, I was so homesick. The food there was disgusting compared to the food my mother cooked for me. Also, I couldn't sleep very well because the dormitory was a very different environment. It was, hard for me to adjust. Soon, it was time to go home. I was so glad that it is almost impossible to explain it with only words. As soon as I saw my mom, I began to cry in my mother's arms. I talked about my first experience of being separated from my parents.
   The first separation from my parents was a hard experience. I never though that being separated would be so hard. Especially my parents are very bossy to me so that I would even want to leave them for a while. But, after this experience, I realized that staying away from my parents are the hardest thing ever.

An Ode to a Lamp

Oh! It's getting dark
It's time to work
Becoming bright
With only a spark of light

Brightening our house
I LOVE LAMP!!!!!!
Brightening our village
Even brightening our world

Without you I can't live
That is what I believe

Forever I will use
A lamp on my desk

You will always brighten us
Forever and always
