The Last Flight From Home

Friday, 23rd of April 2016

As the fasten seat-belt sign lit up and the pilot started preparing for take off thats when I really opened my eyes realised what was going on.

When I first got onto the flight I didn't really take notice of what this flight really meant, it was just one of those flights that you take to get to your next destination right? But as soon as the plane started moving for take off that's when the tears started coming out not only for me because as I looked to my left I saw the tears coming out of her eyes as well, My Mother. As I looked out of the window and saw my city, my home, my Cape

Town getting smaller as the plane got higher thats when I realised that I was leaving not for vacation like I did every end of the school year but for good and at that moment I realised that I was leaving behind my life, my friends, family, neighbours, school, teachers and more I was literally leaving my life behind but it wasn't up to me and there was nothing I could do about it.
