This I believe

After a fourteen-hour trip back from the U.K, my family and I finally got home. It was late and dark and I was really sleepy. 5 minutes later I had already fallen asleep (which was really unlike me). At 4:30 AM my mom came in my room to wake me up telling me to get dressed we were heading to the hospital. At the time I was too tired to understand what was happening and so I didn’t bother asking questions.

When we got to the hospital the doctors checked my dad and immediately rushed him to the emergency room. My dad is a twin and usually with twins one of them will have blood clots. All it took was a fourteen-hour plane ride to form 3 blood clots (two in his lungs and one in his left leg). I didn’t know till the morning that my dad could have died if we hadn’t gone to the hospital.

I lived in Singapore before Malaysia and I didn’t really have many real friends. My first real friend ever was Sarah Bell. When I first saw her she looked a lot like the school bully at my old school but since she lived right next door to me, I figured that if I didn’t go and say Hi to her or every morning would be really awkward. Soon we were sitting next to each other in the bus and having sleepovers every weekend. Five years later during the international fest Sarah came up to me and told me that she was moving. Although she still doesn’t know this, I had a huge stomach cramp for the rest of the week.

This weekend I was at Rachel’s house watching Zombieland (a movie where America gets taken over by zombies). One of the main characters was a really tough man whose son had been eaten by a zombie. Although he was really tough he had a soft spot for Twinkie’s (a soft cream-filled pastry which his son always loved). Since America had been taken over by zombies no one was there to make Twinkie’s. Every time he got to a stop he would search for Twinkie’s then he would savour them. This is why all this relates to my belief. Always savour the little things. Before you know it they could be gone, this I believe.
