a Wish to the Seeds of the Dandelion( assignment of what I did at the weekend)
On Saturday, I walked a long way.
In the morning, I slept till 9 o'clock. It was dark in the room, and everything seemed so peaceful. I didn't want to get up early, because I was waiting for the sunshine to come into my room through a small window, and wake me up as usual.
The alarm o'clock made a big noise, and destroyed the peaceful air. I got up and looked through the tiny window, it was raining outside. I opened the window, and I felt the cold wind.
I like such weather, and I felt excited with no special reason. I quickly got dressed and after breakfast, I brought my camera with me and decided to walk outside and enjoy the nice weather.
I walked very slowly and I could feel the smell of the raindrops. Everything here is so fresh to me, because I have been here for only 3 weeks till now. I felt that I have to be excited about life here and explore the world as much as I can. I felt that I had lost something that a young girl should have. I no longer feel excited even when I am alone in a new country. I tasted the raindrop, and it was sweet and I realised that everything can be better again, as the rainbow always comes after the rain, and it is always beautiful. I have to be brave and smile even when we are facing difficulties. I shouldn't give up any hope.
While walking, I saw some earthworns moving through the soil. It was a very short worn, however, seemed very old. It was working so hard and making contributions to the ground. I could tell that it was stepped by someone and was cut into half, but it didn't give up and was still trying so hard. Looking at this brave worn, I felt ashamed of myself being so weak sometimes.
I walked a long way and I came to a beach. Through the dark, cloudy sky, I could see some sunshine far away. I suddenly realised that I am in Vancouver now, and I can do whatever I want if I really try to change myself. I sometimes appreciate it very much if it's a sunny day. However, cloudy days also come. I find it really important for me to learn how to enjoy life in the cloudy days. Life is not easy sometimes, and we don't need to make others understand us; all we need to do is to try our best.
I picked up a dandelion, and blew all the seeds away in the cold wind. I made a wish. I hope all the seeds can reach the ground they like and enjoy the sunshine in their life.
