My feelings upon leaving my motherland...

I was very happy for getting a chance to attend the M.Sc course in NTU. This is my dream and great hope for my life, for my future and for my parents.
However, there were many different feelings in my mind as well as in my heart when I actually left my country, Myanmar. First, I was very sorry for my parents. At the time I left my country, my only younger brother was also in Singapore. Therefore, I knew how my parents felt in their hearts to send their sons to forgien country. I believed that they would feel the feeling of "empty" in their daily life without us.
When our airplane took off from Yangon International airpot, the capital of Myanmar, and I saw the Shwedagon pagoda (the most biggest and famous pagoda in the world), I felt sorry deeply in my heart and I knew that there were some tears in both of my eyes. I am sure that will never forget that feelings in my whole life. These are the first feelings of leaving my motherland that I have been staying over 20 years.

Anyway, one of my teacher told me that "Change is the law of life". That's true..! I have to struggle and try for my future. I understand that I have to give up one thing if I want another thing in differet way. I will try my best in Singapore to fullfill my wishes and my aims.
