A Walk to the Jetty - Luis Bevilacqua

In this story Anne wakes up the day she is leaving for England to study to become a nurse. She is glad she is leaving her old life behind for good and knows she won't miss it. She thinks about it and knows she will not miss her mother or father or any of the people she knew through her childhood. She dreads that last morning but at the same time is happy because she knows she will be leaving. On the way to the boat they pass through all of the places that were important in her childhood and she starts to remember, like the library where she used to love to get books, or in the house where they used to take care of her and the lady would make her work hard. Once she gets on the jetty she feels sad because she will be leaving for good and finally starts to feel love for her parents and gives them one last hug before her mother leaves her to the care of the captain.
