There is no place like home. And I do miss home.

It has become a trend among the youths in the present time to venture out to different places away from home for further studies or in the hope of better job opportunities. Leaving home for a new home away from home is accompanied by sundry challenges and adjustments that the individual requires to make. I am one of those who travelled thousands of miles from home to have a better learning opportunity from one of the top colleges in the country. Landing in a new place for the first time was quite amusing initially but the first challenge that I faced was the weather. From where I come is chilly almost throughout the year but my new home was way warmer which was why I had to visit my new friend, the shower several times a day. Most of the time after the shower, I would have another natural shower from my sweat. Another bigger challenge was food. Since I was staying in a hostel, the food was prepared as per the taste of the locals which was the opposite of what I usually eat and what I prefer. Blessed with a very sensitive stomach, I would have digestion problems due to the drastic change in food habits. There are days when I would burst into tears while talking with my dear ones back home because I missed home food and I’d wish to give anything for my mom’s dish. Talking about my mom, staying so far meant getting to see my family only after a year. Staying in a hostel was not so much of a problem for me since I stayed in a residential school from my childhood but the challenging part not being able to meet them for a very long gap. There is a phone but seeing them in person, being able to hold them, and being able to talk and laugh in person is so much more. One very important thing that I had to do was being responsible when it comes to my health, pocket money, and academics. There are days where I would break down and I’d wish to drop my course and go back home but then I had friends who would remind me of my parents, their expectation, and also that I have a goal to achieve for which I should strive hard come what may.

It is quite but natural for a human being to dream and aspire for a beautiful, successful life without any problems. When we look at children we feel that they are so lucky to enjoy their childhood where they are free of problems.
