Hi, Nelda!

 

Let's have a nice weekend, even though we have rainy weather :)

Here is my story about the retreat.

 

8. When did you miss your parents or your country the most?

 

When I was a preschooler, I went to a retreat with my classmates.  We went for two nights and three days, so it wasn’t that long, however I missed home and my parents a lot.  I think that was because it was the first time I left my family.  The food wasn’t that tasty and I couldn’t sleep well.  Especially on the last night, we had a campfire with candles.  It was kind of a ceremony that all the kids lighted their own candle and remembered their parents.  I remember most of students cried on that night.  After the ceremony I wrote a letter to my parents that I missed them so much.  That was the first memory that I felt some kind of missing parents feeling and it remained in me till now.
