It was summer time in 2009 when my parents decided to send me to Hawaii with my oldest
brother to stay with him and attend high school there. It was my first trip to
traveling without my parents. I almost got lost at the Honolulu airport, but
then a security guard came by and he
showed me a sign that says Immigration. I walk out the terminal and saw my
brother outside waiting for me. He took me to
where he was living and showed me my room. I went in to sleep after the four hour
trip. I woke up and found out that I wanted to go back to my parent. I told him
that I wanted to come back to the Marshall Islands. I did not want to stay there
any longer. I missed my home and family. I did not know anybody around, there was
nobody around to talk to and nobody to play with when my brother was off to
work and that really made me want to cry. One Saturday night, my brother took
me to a park called Makiki Park. I saw many Marshallese my age but I did not
know any of them. I look at them laughing and playing, this also makes me
really want to come back home with my
family and friends. Then, my brother came and introduced me to his friends.
