I'm 18 years old now

This is the last day of this year now. It is unimaginable that I will usher in the age of 18 in a foreign country. This new year is really different from any other years before. Think about the past 18 years, although I smiled everyday, I still could not be happy everyday. Even many times I hoped that I would not be able to grow up.
Today is the last day of 2009. And I still remember the same day every year before………
When I was 6 years old on that day, I learnt how to write my name. I wrote my name as big as possible on the wall because I thought it must be a pride thing. But father punished me heavily when he came back. I cried loudly, everyone called me and only my great-grandmother comforted me.
When I was primary one on that day, I played with fire and carelessly lit a neighbor’s haystack. Everyone was putting off the fire and I was so afraid that I did not go back until the night was coming.
When I was primary two on that day, YangKo the village, saying that I was small, did not allow me to participate. I felt so sorrow .
When I was primary three on that day, I spent the last day of that year with my parents who were farmers working in the city as workers. Because it was the first year I stayed in city, my study was terrible and maybe the next year I would go back to the country.
When I was primary four on that day, I changed school back to my hometown again. That day I still did not begin to write my winter operation. If the relatives asked me in the New Year, what should I say??
When I was primary five on that day, I moved to another school in the city which my parents worked in. My great-grandmother was died that year. I missed her so much. It was her who cared me all the time. And also whether I would be rejected by the school again?
When I was Junior one on that day, I lived in the school for so long time and felt so happy with the family after such a long time. That year I had a really happy New Year.
When I was Junior two on that day, I felt a girl in my class was very beautiful and felt very nervous when chatting with her. I did not know why at that time. Also I was in troubled with my study and I did not know what to do.
When I was Junior three on that day, I was not at that school already. I went to a new city alone for study. Everything was new for me and I felt so lonely that I missed all of my old friends. And also I did not want to disappoint my parents again, so I kept my mind to be the best at that time.
When I was Senior one on that day, I made a lot of friends in that city and felt one of them was very similarly to the girl I thought different. That time felt really confident about my future.
When I was Senior two on that day, my family ate together but we had not a single word. My parents quarreled everyday and even clamoring to get a divorce. I did not know what happened to them. It was really a hard time for our family.
When I was Senior three on that day, I was really happy that the relationship between my parents was improved. But just in that year my father was diagnosed as suffering from uremia. Everything seemed to be so dark and not so interesting. But just that time, I promised him that I would get into a good university.
This year on that day, I spend the day overseas. I missed my family and cared about my father’s disease, my mother’s health and my younger brother’s study. I missed all my friends in China, missed the happy time spent with them. And what’s more, I can say that I’m 18 now and I find that I’m changed. I can keep my mind for my own life and try the way to my real future. Everything will be OK. And best wish to all the people I know in the New Year.
