My New Year Experience

              The last two times of my new year were very awful. There were many bad experiences that happened to me.

              The first bad experiences that happened was my grandmother passed away exactly on the new year. A couple day before she passed away, I visited her and I took care of her. At that time, I thought that she was feeling better because she looked so well. She also didn’t look as poor as the day before. But then a few hours before the new year’s eve, my mother got a message from my aunt that my grandmother’s condition was dropping. Because my father was still working at that time, I decided to go to my grandmother’s house only with my mother. It was around midnight when I got there. So, our family decided to take her to the hospital in the morning. Unfortunately, my grandmother passed away on the way to get there. I was so sad because the first day of my new year was a tragedy!

              Then the second bad experience that happened to me after the 2016 new year’s tragedy was ‘sick on the new year’s eve’. On Thursday, two days before new year, I got cough. Otherwise, I still had to do many household chores, from sweeping, washing clothes, washing the dishes, and many more. Consequently, the next day I got a fever. I already had a promise to my friends that I would join them to spend our new year’s eve together. We planned to see the fireworks. But because of my fever, I could not keep my word to join them. I felt so bad because I just could take a rest on my bed on the new year’s eve!

              I thought that I would never forget about my awful new year’s experience that I had.
