Thunderstorm over my country as I made my way to the airport. Missing home as I board the plane.

But I begin to fill with a sense of honour and anticipation, as the plane starts to take off.

Goodbye Singapore where all my friends and family are.

See you soon USA, where I look forward to making new friends and meeting my host family.

Stay tuned for more posts from this Singaporean who is now leaving home, on a jet plane for the land of the Free and home for the brave.
