Decision Scene

I have experienced homesickness many times while growing up. When I was a child in elementary school, I went to stay all night with my friend, it had been raining that day and night, then the next day when it was tiem for me to go home, we woke up and the road was flooded, therefore no one could get in and no one could get out. So I called my parents and told them that we could not get out to take me home, and that was fine. When I was younger I never did stay away from home for very long, one night at the most until this time, I ended up staying two nights at my friend's waiting on the water to go down. I know that doesn't seem like a long time, but to a 9 year old that never leaves home, it is a long time! By the next night I was so homesick I just wanted to hurry up and go to bed and get up to go home. I was so relieved when I saw my mom and dad pulling in the driveway. That is one experience of homesickness, that I will never forget. Oh and did I mention I didn't really like staying with them anyway??
