A Ticket to see it all

I was awoken by my alarm clock screeching down into my ear. My hate for that sound grew and grew, day by day. Every part of me just wanted to go back sleep, every-day is just the same. I wake up, have breakfast, set off for work, finish work and come back home, have dinner, go bed. It’s constant cycle and it is starting to really get frustrating, and boring. I need to find a hobby, something I enjoy, there’s just one problem: I don’t know what I enjoy. Yes, I seem to just be a boring soul without any hobbies.


To start of my day with something new, I decided to enter the local competition, the prize was a charter to see the Bahamas, Hawaii, Brazil and even Europe! Sounded incredible, luxurious and most of all, peaceful. I knew they wasn’t a chance of me winning it though, I mean just think of how many people were entering! I thought to myself “What is there to lose” So, here I am, walking to work whilst transmitting my smile all around the town. I live in a pretty small town, so pretty much everyone knows each other. Surprisingly, I have never actually left my home town, I guess maybe that charter wouldn’t be what I wanted, ‘should I be leaving the town? Especially after this long of staying’, that’s what I could of been thinking, but I didn’t because there was no chance the winner would be me.


After long hours sitting behind a desk, listening to how John lost £700 at the casino, I finally get home and can enjoy a relaxing time just watching TV.


My night ended pretty normally, I watched some films, brushed my teeth, listened to some music and went to sleep, I think it’s what happened the next morning that shocked me the most.


I was awoken by my irritating alarm clock, the same as any other morning. As normal, my hate for the sound of my alarm clock, grew even more than it did yesterday, and I went to get some breakfast. Luckily for me, the competition for the ‘trip around the world’ was being drawn today, so I only had to wait a day for the winners to be announced. So I made myself a coffee, and with no rush at all, I went to sit down in-front of my TV. I got it on the right channel and sat back and relaxed, waiting and waiting for them to just draw out a name. There we go, someone called ‘Roxi’ was drawn out, who would of guessed that. However they carried on shuffling for a name, which I found strange, but clearly everybody there didn’t! Then they said a name, a name that made me shocked. The name drawn belonged to me, I had one the competition! So now them thoughts were coming to my head, should I go on this journey or not!


I had a big decision to make, I have never left my hometown, and I’ve just won tickets to travel the world!
