pass the small airplane window. I sighed in relief as I heard the pilot finally announce that we were landing in the John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York City. The whole atmosphere was so new to me. I finally got of the crowded plane and grabbed my bags from the baggage claim and made my way outside.

there, they'll meet me in the airport, we'll run and hug and kiss like we haven't seen each other in an eternity. Hopefully we'll get lunch after because I am just starved but too excited and busy to find the time to eat! (7:50 am)Finally I'm on the plane. I've never really liked flying but I find no use taking a stinky Greyhound or train. Plus, they paid to fly me back home so why not?…

your seats and fasten your seatbelts, we will be departing shortly.” I find myself clutching my seat's armrests as the plane begins to move down the runway. I await the turbulence signaling the plane’s flight, my eyes glued to the window on my left, witnessing the ground getting further and further away. The thrill finally comes, the adrenaline coursing through my body as the plane takes off into the sky, and soon my surroundings are nothing but clouds, pure and fluffy as if they were cotton. I…

He had to be the one to hang up because I knew that when the conversation was over, I would have to get on the plane and go back to my life of schoolwork and checking off to-do lists.
