It was different, the feeling, the looks, the sensation. No butterflies in my stomach, it was odd. I went to sleep like if nothing was going on the next day, I had packed my bags and just thought it was another trip. As I fell asleep in my cloud soft bed my eyes closed without knowing what was I going to expect for the next two months of my life. “What theheck? 3:00 A.M.?” It hit me, reality came up and nerves started to hit every single spot in my body. I couldn’t sleep or think about what was going to go on, I just didn’t understand. I recall my look once I went to the bathroom mirror, and my face viewed as a lost street dog knowing where to be.
I finally fell asleep, but the minute my eyes shut down they immediately went back up. Two minutesafter mom walked in; “Sweetie its 5:00 A.M. its time, wake up.” I acted out like if I where asleep and she woke me up. Mom gets really mad if I don’t get enough sleep the night before. I acted out my morning lazy yawn, and screamed “Am not hungry, can I just eat in the plane?” Mom replied yes, which is really odd. As I showered I couldn’t even think, and realize that I would be away from my familyfor the rest of the summer. As I came out of the shower I asked my what the hell was I doing, and if what am doing was right. Before nerves started hitting me again I just though about what my siblings had said to me about it and how it is amazing, and it will be impossible to regret. Thank God I wasn’t going alone, my two best friends were accompanying me at all times.
As the morning wind hitme and my cold towel just made me feel cold I walked to my warn wooden closet where I know I can always count with when am cold. It was all there my brand new jeans, button long sleeve shit, and green cardigan, ready to take me on the next 20 hours. I dressed up in my warm closet, and immediately went to my room where the air was on. It was nice feeling that temperature change shock. I sat on mybed for five minutes just thinking of how the flight was going to be, who would seat beside me, and what movies will I see. Mom walked asking me if I were ready. I replied, “Almost mom, just need my shoes and that’s it!” As she smiled back and closed the door I told her to come inside and sit beside me. Moms smile got bigger as soon I asked her. Every step closer to me I could feel the loving warmthevery mom gives to her child, and when she hugged me it felt like heaven. She did like she did to me in the first grade. She stood me up in the bed, put my socks on, sit me down, and put my shoes. I was ready.
I grabbed my brand new black cross body that I adore. I grabbed my moms hand, and while the driver took my luggage to the car I stared at my house, sand waved to it goodbye. 5:40 A.M.,and all of my maids where waiting for me at the door, crying telling me that they would miss me. I had to be a man and tell them it was not for long, but inside I was devastated. The car was freezing cold, and my brother was sleeping inside. A smile just popped to my face, because he never does anything for me and seeing him waking up early to take me to the airport just hit my heart. As the driverstarted driving I grabbed to my moms arm and put my face in her shoulder. It seemed like it was just a minute ago when I just woke up, and I was already at the airport. That excitement when you know you are going to travel seeing the shiny granite floors, high sealing’s, and huge mirror windows, the planes parked, and just the people. I headed to the priority checking, I was so excited I got tofly first class the entire trip. I felt as an important executive. As I got to the counter a very warming lady asked me for my documents, and did all of the checking for me sooner than ever I had already my ticket and my hand, and saying goodbye to my mom. I never wanted the hug she or my brother gave me to end, it just perfect. It was time, time fore me to say goodbye to my loving family, and so...
