How I Spent My Summer Vacation ?
A fortnight before the summer break, we stopped taking

I interest in studies. Everyone of us made an ambitious plan to ‘ visit some place or the other. But man proposes and God I disposes. On the very first day, my mother slipped in the I jdtchen and broke her ankle. Her whole leg was plastered and she was advised bed rest for three weeks. I had to prepare ) tea and cook food for the whole family. My friends came to enquire about her health and I had to serve them as well. I kept company with my mother, told her stories and tried to make Sir happy in every possible manner. My mother could not stand the moist air of the cooler and so, I had to perspire along with her. It was not easy to prepare her bed, serve her food and change her clothes. As no male member could help, I had to bear the burden. Whenever she was to be carried to the bathroom, I had to be very careful about the plaster on her leg.

Three weeks were over. We had to carry her to the hospital to get the plaster cut. There was a long line of patients as we had to wait in the verandah, sitting on the wooden bench. It was a really trying time for all the patients in the hospital. The patients were crying with pain. Some were being taken on the stretchers while others could walk only with great difficulty. The doctor told us that plaster was to be put on once again. I wish that it would have been my leg so that I could get bed for rest for whole day !

My friends wrote from Kashmir that they were having nice time. My friends described the pleasant weather and their trekking experience from Pehalgam to Glacier. I wished that I could fly like a bird and join them. One of my aunts came all the way from Mumbai to enquire about the health of my mother. Her youngerlliri was also with her. So, I had to look after not only my mother and members of our family but also my aunt and her naughty son.

Therefore, I had to look after my mother, my family and my guests during the summer

    As we arrived at the hospital I was quickly taken from the car and rushed up to the maternity ward and placed in the delivery room. I was surrounded by nurses and the attending doctors; all trying to get me hooked up to machines and check my stats. Once the doctor had done his full exam he notified us that I was only at three centimeters and still had seven more to go. I began to cry. If it was this bad now, I knew it was only going to get worse.…

    I was waiting for my uncle to talk with him but he did not even come to my home so I thought someone is going wrong with him. After a while, someone knocks the door and I opened the door, it was my grandmother from her house. I tried to communicate with her using hand gestures, but she was not being able to understand me so I thought writing on the piece of paper is a good idea. I wrote on paper in my own language (Nepali) by saying “I was missing you from back home when you left us”. After she finishes reading papers, I was already full of tears and I talk with her using hand gestures that I want to talk with you, but she tells me I will talk to your parents and she left me. On those days, I was shocked, nervous and frustrated by seeing different attitudes towards…

    I was soon released from the hospital, and allowed to go home. It is impossible to forget the lousy car ride home. It hurt to sit up straight, so I laid down in the backseat of my mom’s Ford Explorer, and proceeded to watch a movie. By the time I got home, my back was killing me. I was forced to stay on our couch for the next few days, and needed help walking and showering, since I was not allowed to do anything to harm the stitches placed in both of the open wounds.…

    I knew that if i could stay awake it would be a lot easier on me but it wasn’t an easy thing to do. Around 3 hours of running, playing and the excessive blood loss i was taking a turn for the worse but we had soon reached the ER and she rushed me and my brother in and had us sit down. While she filled out a sheet and gave it back to the nice lady. In that time i was just sitting down finally stopped crying but my eyes were still watery and red. I looked around and saw some people who looked sick and people who looked worried and the others were patiently waiting for something while looking at magazines or on their phones. I remember staring...a lot, and i felt some stares back at me. Some guy had came into the room like 10 minutes later calling out my name so mom grabbed her things and followed the man along with my brother and myself. This team of doctors had me strapped down to a table and mentioned stitches and i started crying like a baby because my dad had told jokes about getting stitches before and made it sound really painful. They decided it wasn’t the best thought because the wound was too big for stitches. I felt more relieved than i did pain. They tightened the straps and began the procedure. Mom stayed by my whole side during the operation and held my hand they took 3 extremely large staples and drove one by one into my head and 4 or the rest had to hold me down from moving too much. They got a good grip on me and started pushing the first staple into my head and it hurt a lot because the pain pills wore off and it felt so painful. Try taking a nail to your head and push. When the operation ended i got a cars note book along with some crayons for…

    I'm so nervous and worried but they called us into the room to get her ready for the surgery. My little baby girl didn't know what was about to happen. My heart was falling apart to see her so small and having to experience this. They finally take her in so I tell her how much I love her and cry. After seven hours of waiting, they call me and tell me that the surgery was over and I could go in to intensive care to see her. That moment was the worst seeing her in so much pain. She passed out on me twice and doctors were so concerned of her reaction. Being there for a month wondering if she was going to make it or not is something I don't wish no one will ever have to go through. But my little angel, my warrior, fought so hard, she overcame it and we left the hospital on January 29th making our way back to El Paso,…

    I was propped up and doctors were coming in and out doing test on me. They would walk in about every 30 minutes and would make me do different stretches. I would have to do them and explain to them what I was feeling. I remember that some of the stretches hurt so bad that I would scream out in pain. They did this for almost 4 hours and every time the stretch would even more. For some of them I had to bite a towel so I wouldn’t scream. I was there overnight, while my dad was puking because he was sick. I was not sure if he was puking because of my injury or if he was really sick so I got out of my hospital bed, which I was not supposed to do and walked over to check on him. Meanwhile at home my mom was planning the move in. She and my sister were so worried, always calling my dad for news and calling me in the emergency…

    We talked about many things around us from our daily life to our memory. At that time, we are being straightened to each other. Suddenly, our parents mentioned about our sister Chi and they committed that they have the most responsible for their daughter death. Their daughter had had a difficult time in assimilating with the American culture and in school because she fully rejected any femininity she held in Vietnam and embraced her true masculine identity to its entirely. As a result of that she received both a beat from our father and a teacher intervention. Perhaps, we should sympathize with her, or at least we should listen to her feelings and thoughts, but we didn’t. As they mentioned to her, all the member’s in the family eyes started turning to red. At that time, we didn’t know what else to say, Hung patted they on the shoulder and said, “That’s fine, Thong and Anh. Everything was the past, just let it passes over.” Besides that, I thought about the Little Niece beggar who I saw and gave all of my money to her in the Turtle Fountain. Numerous of questions pumped up in my mind “how is she?”, “is she still a beggar?”, and “is she still alive or not?” She is the one who made we awake and made me aware of my truly feelings and thoughts as well as how I act when facing a pain. Thus, I went to the Turtle Fountain the day after and hoped that I will meet her again and say “thank you” to…

She was saying on the phone told them. He said not you did and my sister in law told us “your grandmother die. One of your cousin told to your brother”. My fist impression was; my cousin is lying that’s not truth. I could not believe it. I called my mother. She was crying she said “she died my mother die mija (daughter)” and could not said any word. I could not talk, just was on my mind, that I did not say goodbye to her. I didn’t go to see her. Every time that I go on vacation to Mexico, on my mind is that she is waiting for me, but the reality is that she is death. My father that day he told me; you have to be strong for your mother.

    A Summer with My Aunt

    • 1571 Words
    • 7 Pages

    I’m not really sure what compelled me to spend the summer with my aunt; perhaps it was my overwhelming curiosity or the fact that I love children. In any case I had agreed to live with a woman I had only met several times throughout my life, but really all I remember about her from those short visits were her red toes and the way she spent money. She would visit about every four years and every visit she would always spend a pretty penny on my sister and me. I, of course, was not used to spending any amount of money because my parents were doing well enough to keep my sister and me in school, so the idea of having leisurely money was a new concept which I craved. As a child I admired this woman for many reasons and wanted to be like her. I wanted to live in a nice neighborhood with a big house, I wanted to drive a beautiful white shiny car and wear new clothes, I wanted to be strong and healthy , but most of all I wanted to be successful like she was. So I spent my days in school preparing for college so that someday I would be able to be like her. Things changed, though, when I moved down to Texas for two months to take care of her nine month old son, Luke; as it turns out Gretchen Decker was and is not as happy with her life as I thought she was.…

    No one ever asked me about that incident, and I went to CVS to buy first aid kid, and cover my wound myself. The food wasn’t good too. They were all left overs from three days ago. I always got Stomachache after I ate their food. I really missed my family sometimes. I hoped they could come by and live with me for couple days. I had a thought, which is going back to China, but my parents didn’t allow me. Nevertheless, I started having friends in high school, and they made me forget all the hardships I need face. I got used to my school and living conditions completely after three months I got here. And now, I have no troubles to live by myself in a foreign country, and the previous three years experiences encourage me to face more challenges in the future. The courage that my friends and my family bestowed is really helpful for me. I won’t be here without their mentally supports. As a result, life is full of hardships, but having courage and perseverance to challenge them can make us successful. Courage can give us power to persist, and no matter how hard the challenges will be, the people who have perseverance are the…

    A Journey By Train

    I bought an interesting story book and a comic book from the railway book stall. As soon as the train was put on the platform, we scrambled into our coach to get to our seats. As the train left the platform, we settled down to our seats and the train caught up speed. I was getting excited when I was carrying away from my native place. I felt thrilled at that moment and I enjoyed the jerky movement.. I forgot everything of the world and only looked outside through the window. At night, it was dark outside. The platform was lit up with lights. Our first halt was at Kharagpur. In our compartment, there were two children almost my age. I played UNO cards with them. They were also going to Puri with their grandparents. They were very jovial. They made us laugh with their jokes and mimicry of certain celebrities. An oldman in our compartment was singing songs. Then I was having my supper. The Swing and the sound of the moving train soon lulled me to sleep.…

    On July 31, 2013 I was on my way with a train call Herina with destination to Bandung. At that time, it was my first time on a train. I was so scared because I have no idea how to find the place to sit or to find my seat number. So in order to do that, I asked one of the securities guard to help me find carriage and where my seat was. Right at 9 pm the train starts to run the engine, I was so excited. On the way, I met a nice family who also went to Bandung, so I felt relieve because they were very nice. We talked about a lot of thing like, where I come from, my studies, what are my major, and they asked who’s going to pick me up at the train station. Time passed and I arrived at Bandung station, my family were already waited for me, I was so happy because my first time on a train was successful. Next day, my family had planned journey to Tangkuban Perahu. So I was so happy because, I think my holiday will be perfect, but it was not. It turned out that my uncle jhon who stays at Jakarta was sick, so we went and visit him and his family. I was a little bit disappointed, I told myself that “it is not a big deal; I still can go to tangkuban perahu whenever I want, Family come 1st” on the way to Jakarta my uncle jhon was already hospitalized at Husada hospital, it turned out that my uncle had appendicitis so the doctors need to make a surgery, fortunately it was not too late. The operation went well, and the doctor said that my uncle will recovery within a week. To be honest, I’m not so interested anymore to think about my holiday, because I thought, this is the end of my journey; my family will have to look after my uncle. So “that was it” said to myself, but a miracle happened because 4 days since my uncle was hospitalized, he recovery very fast, even the doctor seems amazed with my uncle. So the next 2 days since my uncle came out of the hospital, my dad planned the journey to Tangkuban perahu again, and this time, we…
