Jasmine is leaving home for a new life and job as either a hairdresser or English teacher. She feels sad, nervous, and excited to start this new chapter away from her family. To remember them, she plans to bring some clothes, a picture of her family, a laptop to stay in contact, a diary to record her experiences, and money for necessities. Jasmine wishes she could have said goodbye to her family in person and will miss taking her brothers to school.
