tlooto Summary

A personal reflection on leaving Hong Kong for education and the emotions that accompanied it.

Abstract

"The plane is about to take off. Please fasten your seatbelts." I carefully listened to the announcement. I was in a flat but also nervous mood. I felt flat because I could not change the fact that I was leaving Hong Kong and could only work hard when I got to the other side of the Pacific Ocean. I was nervous because I was going to an unfamiliar place to complete my education. As the plane took off, I looked out of the window and saw the sea view of Hong Kong. I was really reluctant to leave, for this had always been my home. But I left Hong Kong, in a sad mood.
