Ali is the little princess of our family, a smart and lively girl. Her parents are ordinary rural people who work hard to give her a better future. Although our family is not wealthy, our expectations for Ali have always been high.
From a young age, Ali showed extraordinary talent, she was passionate about learning, and her grades were always at the top. As a child, she often told us that when she grew up, she wanted to see the outside world and find her own opportunities. At that time, we just took her words as naïve fantasies, after all, our family was not wealthy.
However, as time went on, Ali's grades got better and better, and she received an offer of admission to a good university in Canada. It was a pleasant surprise for us, but it was also a huge challenge. We have to face parting, reluctance, and the unbearable cost of studying abroad.
Ali's parents gave everything for their daughter's future and sent her to Canada with everything they had. On that day of parting, I watched Ali's eyes redden, and a sour feeling surged in my heart. I know it's the price she's paying for her dreams.
In the early days of Canada, Ali did not have an easy time. In a foreign country, the difference in language and culture made her feel lonely. However, she did not give up easily and worked hard to adapt to the new environment. I saw her report card from afar, and she was still the same excellent Ali.
However, the story doesn't stop there. As time passed, I began to notice some unusual signs. During a ** call, Ali seemed to deliberately avoid details about her life. I tried to ask, but she always subtly changed the subject.
One day, I received a ** from Ali. With some unconcealed exhaustion in her voice, she told me that she was married in Canada and was pregnant. The news was like a bolt from the blue, and I couldn't help but be stunned. She explained on the ** end that she got married in a hurry in order to live, but she never told us.
The news shocked and heartached. I remembered how strong she was when she first arrived in Canada and how reluctant she was to worry us. However, her choice made my heart ache. She struggles for her future, but gets lost in this strange land.
I tried to convince her that no matter what happened, we were her family, but she seemed ready to accept the consequences. She insisted that she would work hard to overcome the difficulties and give her children a better future.
The news kept me awake in the dead of night. Ali used to be the pride of our family, but now she is silently paying in a foreign country. Her choice, although heart-wrenching, also made me better understand how she persevered in the face of difficulties. Perhaps, that's the price of growth, I think.
Allie's story teaches me that life is not all smooth sailing. On the road to chasing our dreams, we often encounter various difficulties and choices. Perhaps, her story will become a legend in our family, the legend of a brave girl, and her adventures in Canada will become a unique landscape in our family's history.
