Journal Entry 15/07/2020 by Jennifer

I just returned home from a year of studying abroad in America. It's only been a few days, and I am already missing my new friends. I will have to keep in touch and follow them on social media because they were fun to play with and helped me in school. Sometimes, they would see that I would get really annoyed when I failed my tests, so they started helping me with my homework. I was lucky to have such great friends. Studying abroad was good because it showed me how hard work pays off, although it wasn't always easy. One time, I remember how disappointed my mom was when I told her I did not pass my science test. But, after lots of practice, my English improved, and I started to do better on my tests, which pleased her.

26.  Jennifer started missing her new friends a year after returning home.
