Since I go to middle school, I stay away from home and live in school from Monday to Friday. The first time for me to leave home made me felt so lonely. I did not have friends here and no one to count on. But I told myself that I needed to try to be independent. So I solved all the problems by myself, I washed my own clothes and cleaned the bed, which were done by my mother before. I found that I could take care of myself without my parents’ help. What’s more, I made good friends here, we had the same interest and we helped each other in study. A year passed, I learned a lot and became independent.

自從我上中學,我就遠離家,住在學校，從星期一到星期五。第一次離開家讓我感到如此孤獨。在這里我沒有朋友,也沒有人可以依靠。但我告訴自己,我需要試著去獨立。所以我自己解決了所有的問題,我自己洗衣服，整理床鋪,在之前是我母親為我做這些。我發現我能照顧自己，即使沒有父母的幫助。更重要的是,我交到了好朋友,我們有同樣的興趣，互相幫助學習。一年過去了,我學到了很多，變得獨立。
