Hey guys welcome back to another blog post! This week had to read Hills Like White Elephants, and other texts which are all linked below. After reading this we now to write our own scene. Something that happened in our lives that was emotional. Here's my scene and I hope you enjoy it! Extended Family
Summer 2018 was a very diffrent time in my life, changed my life in a way. This day I felt a million diffrent emotions in about 3 minutes.... I came home from school saw a unopened box on the counter and went stairs upstairs to lay down. I get up go grab a snack and then come back upstairs, lay backdown and I hear a "ding ding" from my phone and start looking for my phone, I find it and see a notification from instagram, I click and it opens to messages. My hearts stops..... the message reads "Hi my name is Ayana. and I am your sister" I close my phone and think to myself "WTFFFFF" my sister? huh? is this person a crackhead looking for money? So time goes by and I get another message this time its longer she says I know your probabaly really confused and scared, but I really am your sister and I've been trying to find you for the longest time, she then goe into saying I have other siblings that want to meet you. But in my head im still thinking thia girl is abosolutley crazy, but I respond saying you have the wrong person. But then she tells me some personal things about me and my dad which makes me wonder maybe she is my sister... I stop replying to her and wait unitl my dad gets home to ask him to confirm what shes saying. 4 hours later...... ( My dad walks in the door) "Hey dad can I talk to you real quick" My dad sits down on the couch " yeah whats going on" I say "so today after school i got a message on instagram from a girl that claims to be my sister and says that her mom is my mom. Is it true?" My dad explains that she is my sister and that he wanted to tell me this on his own time, he explained to me what had happened. and gave me the choice to answer her back if i wnated a relationship with her. I sat and started to process everyhting in my head, it was all very overwhelming and alittle scary to think that theres people out there that know more about me then I know of them. To this day I still havent reached out its all just to overwhelming to think about opening that box again.
