A Letter From Ahsen Findik |
|
Hello! This is Ahsen. While writing these lines I still feel the pain and it almost brings tears to my eyes. I can almost hear the screams and crying. It seems that no one can escape destiny. Who would think that we would have such a devastating earthquake. If we have known, we would have tried to escape. How amazing, all of a sudden, a few short seconds took away my whole childhood, the house I was born and raised in, my beloved bedroom, my pictures..., most of all, my friends and neighbors. They are gone, lost forever. Now I feel as though I have no past and no roots. August 13 was the birthday of one of my best friends. I called to wish her a "Happy Birthday". My friend was very happy because it had been a long time since we had seen or spoken to each other. I lost this dear friend in the earthquake. If I had known that this was our final telphone conversation, everything would have been much, much different than it is now. I had my dreams and goals in life and always worked very hard to overcome every struggle. In these days, I feel nothing but endless fear and sorrow, even though my family survived the earthquake. I hope that I will be able to fininsh my education and pursue a Master's degree in mechanical engineering. I would also like to learn foreign languages and improve my computer skills. I am trying my best and will continue to try my best in the future. Hopefully life will come more pleasant and satisfactory. I have to learn to put the past behind me and to keep walking ahead without looking back. Ahsen Findik
