It was in the afternoon, when I arrived at the airport
three hours before departure. Being so excited about
the journey, I remembered kept talking to my parents
about what I would expect throughout the trip. A
moment later, we were ready to board our plane and
start an adventure.
I boarded the plane with my friends. We found my
seat and sat down, wondering what the university
campus would be like. Would there be flowers, trees
and a beautiful garden with all kinds of nature?
Enjoying our lesson Happy Birthday Boys! Would we be sitting on the grass admiring the skies?
On the coach to University of Greenwich, I looked out
the window and saw amazing views of England. The
trees were much brighter. The fields were massive,
and there was livestock everywhere on the grassland.
I even saw a castle a few miles ahead. It was in the
afternoon when we finally arrived at the University of
Greenwich.
Parents, siblings and grandparents came to see us off
