MY PARENTS COULD ONLY AFFORD TO TAKE ONE DAUGHTER TO ITALY—SO THEY CHOSE MY SISTER AND LEFT ME HOME TO WATER THE PLANTS. WHILE THEY WERE GONE, I PACKED EVERYTHING I HAD PAID FOR AND LEFT. WHEN THEY CAME HOME, THEY FINALLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT THEY HAD TAKEN FOR GRANTED.

MY PARENTS LEFT ME BEHIND WHILE THEY TOOK MY SISTER TO ITALY, EXPECTING ME TO KEEP THEIR HOUSE RUNNING AS ALWAYS. THEY NEVER IMAGINED THAT WHEN THEY RETURNED, MY ROOM WOULD BE EMPTY—AND SO WOULD HALF THE HOUSE. EVERYTHING I TOOK WAS SOMETHING I HAD PAID FOR. THAT VACATION WAS THE MOMENT I FINALLY STOPPED WAITING TO BE CHOSEN.
