Ateeq

My way to study in America

     First of all, my father called me and told me,  ” Ateeq, do you want to study abroad.”  I was staying with my friends in a coffee shop when my father called me. I took my keys and drove my car home.  I asked where is my father and I heard him calling my name from the living room.  I walked to him and I sat with him in the living room.  He started by saying,  ” Ateeq, I used to study in America when I was in your age and it was a good experience.  Do you want to do the same thing and go to America and study over there?”  I looked at him and said,” Yes, I’d love to study over there.”  In the mean time, my mother didn’t know about me going to America and I was afraid of telling her.  I called my sister who lives in America with her Husband and I told her about what happened and that she should help me telling my mother about the plan.  One hour later, I was in my room chatting with my friends and my mother came to me and said, ” Ateeq, if this is what you want then take care my son and please don’t forget to call me everyday.”  Then she cried and left the room, I followed her and hugged her.  I felt very sad and I thought I should not go to America.  In the next day, my mother told me, ” Ateeq, I want you to go and be a good student and study hard and call me every day.”  I felt good and I started to prepare myself to go to America.  Finally, I’m now in America and I miss my family.  I will go back on the summer and I’m really happy.
