Going to high school is my first time to le**e home. I h**e to live in school from Monday to Friday. I like to stay away from my parents for some time, because I can make my own choice and be free to go anywhere. My friends and I like to spend the weekend in the countryside that near the city we live. It is the short tr**el that I can not only appreciate the beautiful scenery, but also learn to be independent. The things that nature teaches me are a lot. I can see from the color of the cloud to predict the weather and the sound of of animals h**e different meanings. All of these are hard to know from the books. I h**e my own thinking from these trips, and the way to take care of myself helps me to grow up.
