Which sentence from the passage best shows the narrator's attitude about living away from home?

Somewhere Far
by A. Gautam

As I watched my parents disappear from the parking lot, I stared at the empty ground for a long time. My life was about to change forever at the age of fourteen. I had never thought I would be studying and living away from my family for four years. It was a family tradition my parents had followed while growing up in Europe.
I stood alone and searched for the mountains. The wind was chilly and bits of snow were piling on my shoes. Things were certainly not the same in this town. The situation seemed even worse when I noticed how different I looked from everyone else. Everywhere I looked around everyone looked happy to be there except for me. None of them had the look of homesickness in their faces.
I slowly moved toward the yellow building—my new home—and decided to get my meal card from my room before looking for the cafeteria. That was when I spotted the girl who looked more out of place than me. She could not have been more than twelve. She was carrying a big backpack, wearing a thick jacket, and holding onto two suitcases sitting on the floor. I could see white airport tags still attached to her luggage.
"Hi, I am Shree," I told the girl, deciding to introduce myself. "Can I help you find anything?"
"I am Mongoo," she spoke softly. "Yes, where is the girls' building?" She gave me a little smile as I offered to carry one of her suitcases to our new home.
