After graduating from my middle school, I couldn’t wait to go to boarding school. Boarding school meant freedom! No more family rules to follow or chores to do like at home. But my parents asked me to call them every weekend. I did as they asked, though I found it annoying at first, since I was so busy with my new friends and exciting life at the new school.<p>One day, something happened, which changed my mind. I became really ill with a fever and I called my mum. When I heard her tender voice, I felt comforted. She took the one-hour train journey to come to see me, bringing me soup and fruit. I was so moved by what my mum did for me. I realized how she loves me without expecting anything in return. </p><p>From that day on, I got into the habit of calling my parents every weekend, as a way of showing that I care. It is important to be independent, but we also need to show our love and respect for those who matter most.</p><p>59. Jessie was so _________ when she saw her mum.</p>
