It was the summer after she graduated high school. She had been chosen to a prestigious university outside of her country. It was her chance to shine. A chance to learn further about the field she dreamt of becoming. She was happy to tears when she saw that she was accepted. All her hard work had paid off. Now, she’s facing another huge problem. Leaving. Leaving behind all her childhood memories. Leaving behind all her families and relatives. Leaving behind all her friends.

She’s in dilemma. She wanted to stay and be with her friends. But she also wanted to go and study aboard.

What should she do?

Her decision is. Go.

She will leave behind all her memories, she will leave behind all her friends, she will leave behind all her families and relatives. For the sake of better education.

One day she will come back, and return to them all.

For now, she had to make sacrifices, for the sake of gaining. A better future for herself.

Goodbye for now, she thought.

As tears rushed down from her eyes,

She left.
