A
I have dreamed of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated,but the best thing always needs waiting.I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park,which lies in Hawaii.
When we arrived at Haleakala National Park,we were advised to watch the early morning sunrise.I was lost in the sightseeing that afternoon,so I could hardly wait to meet the sunrise.In the next morning,we all jumped out of the bed very early at 3 o'clock and walked to the rocks by the seaside.In the first half an hour,we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin,so we waited and waited.However,another half an hour later,I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly darkness,and I felt that I was frozen to death.But my friends were still extremely cheerful.
Nearly another one hour later,“Amazing!”,a word yelled out from Judy and we all shouted to welcome the light orange greatness,which was really unbelievable.Until today,I dare say that it is the most impressive sunrise in my life.However,waiting in the morning darkness is also the one I cannot wipe out forever.
Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strongwilled determination,but what about the result after that?It might turn out to be pleasant,unbelievable and satisfactory.So,it is really worthwhile to wait for the best.
