Isla was leaving home. A rush of emotion swept over as she opened the door. Happy, sad, excited, anxious-these were some of the emotions she felt. She’d already bid her family good-bye. Her parents had been excited when she announced that she was ready to leave, her two brothers-weren’t as supportive as she’d like them to be.

Deep into the night, lsla lay awake thinking: This was it, she’s going to start over, in a new city. But. A part of lsla wondered: what if this was a mistake? What if she couldn’t handle the prospect of being away from home so long? But nevertheless, she was here, on a bus, on her way to big city.

Tell us: what do you think awaits lsla in the city?
