 A Sentimental Thanksgiving My mom was visiting me for Thanksgiving over the weekend, and she just dropped me off at my residence 
Just before she left, she told me about how each time she dropped me off at school, she would watch as I walked inside. And without fail, throughout kindergarten, elementary school, high school ... I would always dash towards the school, pause at the door, and wave at her just before going in. She said that these little things brightened up her day, and she always went to work with high spirits.
Ever since I went off to university, she doesn't have that anymore. She drops my brother off now, and he walks in without even saying goodbye to her
So yeah, today she dropped me off at my university. I ran to the door, and instinctively waved back, just like always. And somehow, I feel as vulnerable as my first day at elementary school. I didn't really feel this way when I first came to university because everything was going too fast. But now that things have settled down, it's really sinking in that I'll have to be responsible for myself, and that's a scary thought.
I think I can do this though. I have supportive friends and I try my best to keep up with my commitments. I don't feel like a responsible person, but I'll work hard until I am. I want to show my parents that I'm capable of living on my own  |
Aw cute story, tears. I felt like this too but it goes away after a while. I don't even like my parents that much, mess.
