Small Change, Big Difference

I have thought that my life would not be so hapless, owing to my happy and complete family. I kept a beautiful dream and wished to realize it in the future until that night.

In the midnight, just when people in the world dreamed in their sweet dreams, there was five burns and spread quickly from house to house. Fire alarm continued ringing loudly which seemed to wake everyone up immediately. Unfortunately, my house was in the same boat because the crazy fire bug set on fire on purpose to frighten every people. My mom and dad woke up nervously and tried hard to call their daughters who slept nearer the fire comparing to them. However, because of strong wind, the fire couldn’t be put off at once. We just prayed and the fire brigade helped us escape our house.

Everything seemed to stop then, there was something collapsed and my parents couldn’t go through. I couldn’t resist crying and yelling and begged to firemen with my loud voice to save them at any cost. I knew that my parents were the most important people in my mind; hence they couldn’t leave me and I couldn’t image the life without them. Nevertheless, I lost my dear parents in the accident from them on.

After that day, I was sent to live with my grandma who was nice to me, but my mood was still blue and it wasn’t meaningful anymore. I always went to school with a face as long as a fiddle. I knew that everyone worried about me but they didn’t know what to do. Until one day, my friends brought me to a secret place they found several days before which was planted flowers everywhere in my eyes. I was so amazing that some bad thought silently flied away. My heart finally turned to sun and forgot the most miserable thing in my life slowly. From them on, I started to live happy just like before, and tried my best to do better and better on my exams. I changed my mind and found all my friends were still beside me.

Thanks god for giving me such sweet friends and relatives. They gave me a lot when I was down. I would like to tell everyone that we may meet tragedy everywhere or everytime, but we should not stop our steps and live in our upset emotion all life. Because everything may be different only for you change yourselves first.
