With Independence Comes Greater Responsibility.

With independence comes greater responsibility. Ring Ring the alarm clock wakes me up at precisely 730 am on the first day of summer. My parents rush into my room yelling at me to get up. Im oblivious to whats chance because my eyes are still half closed. As I regain my senses I see that my parents are wearing tank-tops and shorts. Instantly I remember that were going to China for the summer. After that commotion my parents left the room leaving me with two empty bags to be filled with my belongings that would last me two months. Its inevitable that Ill forget something, I mean I always do.Every summer we go to vacations and I always forget to bring the right descend of underwear or my prescribed cream because commonly my mom does it for me. This succession its different, Im older and I should be able to do it myself. I arbitrarily put everything in my bag. From every item of clothing, every pair of shoes plus the things in between. Next thing you know Im at the airport with my parents unloading our luggage onto a cart. Inside, at the terminal desk the woman behind the counter was telling us that they were overbooked causing us to get upgraded to first class, but there was a problem.There were only two spots available, and one of us had to wait for the next flight. I told my parents that i wanted to stay behind, i mean, i wanted to prove to them that i was responsible enough plus it was kind of romantic for them to be alone. They actually listened to what i had to set up and gave me what i wanted. Fast forward to the skim being boarded i was watching my parents leave with bring out me, i had a little anxiety because it would be the first time that my parents let me go alone.Soon after they left i went to my gate with the help of the airport employees because i didnt have a clue where anything was. I was on my own and i felt a little heartache watching the families around me having fun and bonding. We were being called onto the plane. First they called f irst class, seniors then it was my turn. I hand over my ticket and showed her my passport she noticed the tenseness in my body language and said you look nervous, are you okay? . I managed to let out a quiet yes even though i was telling a lie.I entered the plane and found my seat and sat down. After everyone settled down the plane started to move. It was doing circles around the driveway to warm up its engine. Then it stops and i could hear a huge roar from the engine. Before lift mop up my dad would always give me gum before liftoff so my ears wouldnt pop. He would always buy juicy fruit but this time he wasnt here and i didnt have any. I forced myself to withstand the pressure. After the successful liftoff my moms lap would be my catch ones breath and my mom would look at for a blanket.I was getting cold and tired so i asked the stewardess for a pillow and a blanket, just like how my parents would ask if they were with me. The blanket and pillow were amazingly comfy and i qui ckly fell asleep. Excuse me sir Excuse me sir It was the flight attendant asking me if i want beef or chicken. My parents would usually get my food for me and let me sleep longer. They werent here so i just picked what the guy beside me picked, beef. The airplane food was gross, i never like it.I could see the family across from me and how they were all enjoying their meals and pretending that they were at their dinner table exchanging stories that happened to them. I sat quietly eating my meal. Then the guy beside me started to talk to me somewhat the show i was watching. I usually never talk to anyone on the plane, but this time i thought i would give it a try. So i talked to him and he seem to be an interesting person to talk to. We talked the whole way before the seat belt sign went on. This is when we start get and at that point my body started to shiver.I was always afraid of landing. My mom would usually hold my hand to keep me calm, but she wasnt here. The guy who had bec ome my conversancy saw me shiver and asked me whats wrong with me. I manned up and told him nothings wrong. Those last few seconds as the plane started to descend were the scariest time of my life. I kept my composure, and stayed calm. I knew i could do this , i know i can, I can, I can, I can. The heart was beating super fast. Then i heard SCREECH and i was safe. I knew my parents were waiting for me and i couldnt wait to get off to see them again. I was so proud of myself.
