End of My Journey

Hi, Ian! This is my writing homework you gave me:

--------------------------------------------------

Alice knew it was going to be a very special day for her. She didn't know exactly why, but she had the feeling. The feeling it would be the last day of her journey. She began to reminise about the start of her journey.

Back then when she had been a little kid, she had dreamed of seeing the entire world. In order to realize her dream, she had begun her journey. It hadn't been easy, she had had to leave her beloved homeland behind.

Just after saying farewell to her homeland, she had met an old woman. The woman had smiled to Alice and had given her some words of advice, "Young girl you lose something important to you. But don't worry, as long as you're willing to regain it, no matter what it takes, you will find it again". Alice had looked on confusion as the woman had been walking away.

Many years has passed. Alice had gone through the entire world, from hottest desert to he highest mountain. Alice had decided to return to her homeland. However, when she had arrived there hadn't been anything but a barren desert. She had been shocked. Her family and her homeland had disappeared. Sadness stroked her heart.

But, just as hope almost disappeared, she had remembered the words of the old lady. And so, she had looked around to find a way. She then had found a gate nearby. As unbelievable as it seems, it had been a gate of time. It had been told that anyone who stepped through it would be cursed, but Alice's will had been stronger than her fears. She, without any hesitation, had gone through the gate.

Finally, after much time travels, Alice had this feeling.The feeling of the end of her great journey through time. She went for her last journey.

The first thing she saw was a young girl. She looked at her and was instantly reminded. That girl, indeed was Alice herself in her youth. More spesifically, Alice when she was starting her journey. She knew in an instant that her homeland must be nearby.

She then said the same words as the old lady she had met long ago. And finally, she went on to her destination, her beloved homeland.
