The biggest change in my life

Its amazing how your whole life can change in a matter of seconds.
I never imagined two years ago that i would move away from my home country. After that I realized, anything is possible. Anything can happen.

Two years ago in 2008 I lived in my home country, Finland. It is the country where I was born and raised.I had the most amazing friends, loved my school, everything was perfect. Until we heard the news, we are moving to Qatar. My first question was what the hell is Qatar, and where is it? My dad already lived in Qatar, because of his job there and that was the reason why we were moving. I couldn't believe i would leave my home. "My home is here", i told my mum. The thing that hurt me the most was that our parents decided that we are moving without even asking our opinion. I got depressed, I was really mad at my parents, I lost my respect for them.
I remember being at school and new students came to my class, some from the U.S, some from Austria. We had many nationalities in my school, since it was a international school. I always thought "Thank god i don't have to leave Finland, leave my home". But now it was happening for me.

The last night in Finland, August 21st 2008.. All of my friends came to say good bye. It was an emotional night for all of us. Most of them were my childhood friends. I couldn't believe that I wont see all these people for a year or maybe even two years. I couldn't stop crying, my friends couldn't stop crying. That night I realized what true friends are and who are my true friends. All these people were having school the next day, it was mid-night but everyone was there. Saying goodbye for me. I remember, it was raining. It was dark and cold. No one cared,  I didn't care. It was time for me to leave. I stepped inside the bus, sat down and looked out from the window one more time. I saw all the people i care about and all the people I love. I was just scared that it would be the last time I would ever see them. The bus started moving, I gave my friends an air kiss and waved goodbye.

I was sitting in the airplane, looking around. Some people were alone, some people with their families.
My seat was next to the window. Me and my brother were always fighting about who would sit next to the window. I hated waiting, I'm not a patient person at all.

Finally they announced "Everyone please close your seat belt, our flight to Heathrow airport is about to take off. The flight will take about three hours in total. Thank you"
I looked out of the window as the plane was taking off.
Thinking this will be a new beginning. My life was about to change.
