Towards the end of high school, I was thinking about what colleges I was interested in applying to. There is one thing on my mind, I wanted to get away from home. I began to feel the impulse to stand alone and take charge of my own life. As the time arrived to pack my bags, the reality of what I was doing hit home hard. I wept as I realized that I was going to be four-to-five hours away from everything and everybody that was familiar to me. I was leaving the town where I was used to sleep, eat and cry.
When I arrived in Iligan, the city of waterfalls, everything is new and different. Feelings were mixed. I was excited at the prospect of starting over and scared of living life in a different way. It isdifficult to adjust in a new environment with new faces, new way of transportation, new things to see and d. I met some strange people with distinct personalities whom I was fairly sure did not even remember my name. I thought that I was not going to make it through the year. Time passed, the days went on and still adjusting – but the place was beautiful, the people were kind and it became better and better as the school year continued.
My life in Iligan is not yet over. I have four more years to stay here. But when the time comes that I need to leave this place, I will surely miss it.
i can relate to what you are feeling and i agree to how you observe the way of living in iligan.but im just wondering why you chose iligan as your escapade.as i view iligan,it is becoming my prison jail where i only have to study,sleep,eat,study,sleep and eat.yes!all of us have different point of view.nevertheless,i love your last three sentences.despite of the burdens you get from living in iligan,when you got to leave it you definitely miss it.
You know Anhao, we have the same thing in mind. I wanted to get away from home by the time I will be in college. And now, here I am in Iligan City, about 10 to 12 hours of travel from my hometown. Very very long travel... During my first week of stay here, I really felt bored and sad. I wanted to escape in this place and wanted to go home. I was going to be crazy that time. Really.. but thanks God I'd survived! You know, being here alone in Iligan made me realized that the feeling of being in your own home is totally different. But then, what can we do right now? Being independent is hard yet you will learn a lot. Let us face what we need to face. I know we can do it. :D
I can also feel what you feel because I also came from Davao del Norte that is 12 to 14 hours away from here. yes, indeed, we have to still overcome many circumstances as we study here in MSU-IIT. so, we must always remember that every incident that came to our lives has its own reason ,so we must enjoy it. GODBLESS
