A Journey I Make Often

On a weekday, me and my family went on a short journey. But that is not what you think.

It is the way to school from home and home from school.

On every peaceful weekday morning, the 6:00AM alarm rings loudly like sirens. Then we

all fidget and prepare for the journey. We need to wake up early because our house is far

away from school, it is about 8km, and the most tricky thing is that we live in Yarmag.

Once we sat in our car, we all fell back to sleep like we never woke up. And my dad

listens some radio while he drives the car. I drive through the journey without sleeping for

the first time in a while and see the beauty of the journey. It all seemed simple, but the

flowers planted beside the road look like a magical sight for sore eyes with their colorful
bright petals. People wait for their buses to go to their work or school. The sunshine comes

through the window of the car, it feels like an angel flying around and playing like in the

fairy tales. Some actions that happen in our car are the best. The radio plays my favorite

song, my sister wakes up from a dream and sings it like it’s also her favorite song playing

around the car.

Our journey ended at my school, and everyone was going to their work, school and

kindergarten.

In the evening, my father and my sister go home early. I leave my school and go to my

home by myself. It was fun because I am going to my home with my friend who walks

same way home. We talk about everything while we walk or catch the bus. The faded
pink and yellow sky is romantic and soft winds pat our cheeks, but it is warm and

comfortable. Eating ice cream while walking and talking about everything is so calming

and it was like I am getting a private therapist.
