1. When you think of old people you think of a crabby, impatient, weak person who you can’t stand being with. The only reason you go visit them is because your parents tell you that you have to go. Your parents say your grandparents love you, but you struggle to believe that they even have a heart left. Most people never get to see the real heart of their elders. My great-grandma is everything but that. She was someone I wanted to see. She always had a smile on her face and loved the life she was living. You would never have guessed the agony she went through because she never showed it like most do. She was patient, strong, and lovable. She gave love to all of those around her and no one can ever replace that love that she gave.
2. The process of leaving is composed of several emotional aspects that no one would ever expect. The act of leaving causes heartache, causes anger, and it causes fright. Sadness. Those long days before you leave are the worst days of your life. You act as if someone just died. Your friends that you have had forever are gone and you can’t help but let the tears roll down your face. Anger. You become angry at those who have caused this pain. In your mind they become nothing but worthless and inconsiderate. This state of mind is irrational, but it’s normal. Fright. You’re beginning a new life. You enter into a world unknown where the atmosphere is foreign to what you are used to. You are left with nothing but a blank slate and the fright of filing this slate builds. Who knows what others may think of you? First impressions are everything. All these stages of feelings are normal but the way you handle them when they arise is the key to being successful in your departure.
