Like everyone else, I , too love my country. Why am I leaving my country and my people, if I love them so much? I am not a hypocrite who talks about patriotism and love of country, but leaves the country at the earliest opportunity. The reasons that compel me to leave my country are that I want to make a good life by pursuing higher studies in other country and by finding a suitable job that will help me get out of our financial difficulties. It is with good difficulty, perseverance and persistence that I have been able to manage to get a scholarships to go to other country for my higher studies. I cannot miss this opportunity. But tomorrow, will be the day of my departure from my country, and my heart experiences pangs of sorrow. This is because I am sure that I am going to be nostalgic about my country during my stay abroad. I love my country so much. Moreover, I am going to miss my friends, my neighbourhood and all that makes my country unique.
Another fact that fills me with grief is the seperation of my family, my parents, brothers and sisters, friends and relatives. We are a closeknif family, we love one another very much. My friends and relatives have always been helpful to me. I am going to leave them all tomorrow.
By going abroad I am leaving familiar sights and sounds, faces and places for everything unfamiliar. I have only a picture in my mind about the place I am going to. I have no friends and relatives there. I am not familiar with the culture of the people there. Here, in my own country, I am fine to a way of life in which I am quite comfortable. This fact about the place, people and culture fills me with anxiety and fear. Tomorrow, I will be going to a country where I will meet unfamiliar faces.
There are moments when I am torn between conflicting emotions. Sometimes, I feel that the decision to go abroad to pursue higher studies has been a hasty and wrong one; at other times, I am filled with joy thinking that I have got the momentous opportunity in my life to carve out a future for my self. However, the thought that nothing can be achieved without making sacrifices relieves me of my mental conflict. There is also the consoling thought that my stay abroad will enrich my life and that when I return to my own country after years of study and training. I will be better equipped to serve my country and my people. So tomorrow is the day that is going to lead me to a path of success.
Tomorrow and many tomorrow to come will change my life mentally and physically in order to return to my country and serve my people for my own happiness and contentment and also for the greater glory of my country. Conclusion, tomorrow will never end . =)
