(1) Immanuel handed the gate attendant his tickets and passport, which she set off to the side as if they were unimportant. She does this a hundred times a day, he thought. But this is my first time leaving my home.

(2) “One way, right?” she checked.

(3) “Right.” No big deal. Just one way. To Australia—the other side of the world.

(4) “Is there a problem?” Immanuel’s father asked, tapping his shoulder. He was eager to do one last thing for his son, but felt Immanuel needed to be independent. And he didn’t want the boy to worry, so he fought to keep his tone light and casual. For the moment, he succeeded.

(5) “No problem.” The agent stamped the paperwork, handed it back, and gave Immanuel a yellow boarding pass decorated with a jumping kangaroo. Appropriate, she thought. The kid’s jumping out into the world, all right. Lucky to be starting out, looking forward to an adventure.

(6) How can I do this? Go so far from home? What was I thinking?

(11) I think I can do this.
