This Sunday is Mother's Day. Many people went back to their home after visiting their mom's house this Sunday, too. I was no exception. Before taking my brother to a train station, my mom took me to the Ubus station around 2 p.m. I was surprised that there were so many people waiting for the bus. (Usually few people wait for bus around 2 p.m.) Even when I bought a ticket, I have to wait for a while. Suddenly, I heard a foreigner shouting out loud, and then a lot of people looked at him and was thinking about what was going on. My guess is that probably he had no patience to queue up to buy a ticket, so he complained about it by making a big noise. (Honestly, I have no idea why he did that. Who knows?) After buying a ticket, I found a seat, and took out my books and read. As a matter of fact, I can't really concentrate on my reading because I heard lots of complaints from other people. Some people said that ''damn, how long should I wait for the bus? or what should we do if we can't take the bus by 6.pm.?'' Many complaints are like these. Interestingly, when I observed their behaviors, some people seemed very calm, and however some like to express their impatience to strangers. Although I looked perfectly still, I felt anxious and sort of angry inside my heart. The funniest thing is that after my mom took my brother to a train station and came back to see me around 3: 40, I was still there. I complained to my mom that I was going crazy to wait for the bus and also felt regret about not taking a train like my brother. My mom told me that many people have patience to wait for the bus, so why don’t I? I think she is completely right. About 20 minutes later, the bus finally arrived and I felt relieved.

 

Even though the bus experience was awful, at least I have learned how to be patient. Laughing
