In December 2008, I went on a tour with my parents’ friends. I went to Singapore for 2 days. Then I flew to San Francisco with my mom and dad. We stayed there for 1 week. It was so cold. When I arrived at San Francisco, my father’s friend picked us and carry us to the hotel.
In the morning, I had my breakfast and took a walk with my dad at the streets. I still remember it until now. Cold weather, the street, the mall. I love San Francisco. So beautiful. At night, I met my mom’s friend that will with us on tour. I met my friends again, Melissa and William. At night, we walked together along the street. We wanted to cross the Nike Shoes Store, but a man was running and hit my mom’s friend. An other man wanted to chase that man. And I knew, the running man was a robber that robbed Nike shoes. I was shocked that time. After 1 week, we went to the airport and flew to Salt Lake City.
My big sister was at Evanston, Wyoming at that time. She studied there. Before I went with the tour, I visited Salt Lake City. Because Salt Lake City is near with Evanston. So I landed on Salt Lake City, it was so cold. Then I met my big sister with her foster family. We ate dinner together.
The next morning, we went to a mall. Salt Lake City was like a dead city that time. So silent and cold. It was because many people there were on holiday. We visited the mall and bought some clothes. My sister found a little girl that was lost. So, we helped her.
In the morning, we went to the airport and went to Washington D.C. We visited many museums there. Then we visited Canada and Philadelphia.
The last, we visited Orlando, Florida. After we arrived, we immadietly met the tour group. I met Jessica, Melissa, William and Albert, Michelle and Marcia. I met them every year on tour. And my older friends, Jennifer, Sasa and Gary. At the bus, we were playing Mario Kart. It was so fun.
I woke up on 7 o’clock and took a bath. The weather wasn’t so cold that time, so I didn’t wear my white winter jacket. Then I had breakfast. At 9 o’clock, we were on the way to Disney World, the biggest Disneyland that the others. It has Disneyland, Animal Kingdom and EPCOT. I was so excited. I couldn’t wait to ride the jet coaster.
So, I arrived at the Animal Kingdom. I took a ride that is called Mount Everest. It’s so tall. I was scared but I wanted to ride it. So I bravely rode that with my mom. On the ride, we stopped, and suddenly slid back. I screamed so loud. But it was fun. In the afternoon, I had my lunch at Macdonalds. I ordered cheese burger. And I was so full. Then we played the other games and back to the bus.
It was 31 December 2007. We visited EPCOT. I rode a ride that’s about rocket and in the jungle. Very fun. It was New Years Eve. At night almost midnight, we were dancing. There were DJs. It was like a night club. We were dancing, wearing the hat, holding the trumpets. But I was so bored. 2008 still long at that time. So I took a ride that’s called Fast Track with my big sister, Jennifer and Gary.
5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1.. Happy New Year! It’s 2008! I passed 2007 and prayed that I will be a better girl. We ate some chocolate cakes, saying “happy new year” to each other. I still couldn’t believe that I passed 2007 in America. Last year, 2006, I passed 2006 in Switzerland. I felt asleep when I was waiting for the bus. After I arrived at the hotel, before I went to sleep, I prayed to Jesus and said, “Thank you, Jesus. I’m still alive. You gave Your life for me. I promise that I will be a good girl infront of You, my parents, my friends, and I want to be more diligent in this year. Lead me. Amen.”
