I
have dreamt of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated, but the best thing
always needs waiting. I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park,
which lies in Hawaii.
When
we arrived at Haleakala National Park, we were advised to watch the early
morning sunrise. I was lost in the sightseeing (观光)
that afternoon, so I could hardly wait to see the sunrise. The next morning, we
all got out of bed very early and got to the seaside at 3 o'clock. In the first
half an hour, we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came
out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched
our skin, so we waited and waited. However, another half an hour later, I
gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly
darkness, and I felt that I was frozen to death. But my friends were still
extremely cheerful.
Nearly
another one hour later, "Amazing!" Judy burst out and we all shouted
to welcome the light, which was really unbelievable. Until today, I dare say
that it is the most impressive sunrise in my life. However, waiting in the
morning darkness is also one memory I can't forget forever.
Waiting
sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong
willed determination (决心) , but what about
the result after that? It might turn out to be pleasing and unbelievable. So,
it is really worth waiting for the best.
