Coming Home

回家囉Luke is ready to head back home路克準備返家囉! This is my place, my love, where I belong. by Luke Wang

After finals, I was ready to move out. It wasn’t too hard for me, but for a lot of my friends, it was a big deal. After cleaning up the trash, packing my suitcase, and helping my friends move, it was time to say goodbye. I had reached the end of my freshman year!

A friend from Taipei who is studying in Washington, D.C., came to visit, so my brother and I took him sightseeing. But these were not this month’s highlights. The high point was coming back home, a moment I’d been anticipating since the day I left. I arrived home early on the morning of May 15th.

When I saw my parents, I gave them a big hug and kiss. Being close to my parents, standing on this land, and feeling the humidity in the hot air. I knew I was home. the first ting I did was to go to Mei&Mei(美而美）for a big breakfast. It was so much better than the school cafeteria! Mei&Mei was just a start. There are so many foods I have to eat and so many friends I want to see. The hot air is burning my face and the sweat is evaporating from my skin. I love this feeling. This is where I belong.
