In life, a person will never forget about the nation and their country of birth. It’s almost impossible to do so. Even though a person has moved to another country for better opportunities or a better life for their family, they will even forget their original place of birth. The thoughts of going back may seem scary and overwhelming because sometimes it’s hard to deal with the fact that you as a person has changed, the life style you live has now changed and the surroundings around you have change from when you as a person lived in your place of birth.
Even though a person may change, the society within the country has changed as well. With that being said, if a person goes back to their hometown, they wouldn’t feel the same because everything would look different to them; it wasn’t the same as it was when they used to live in the country. This unit reminded me of the time when my mother went back to her country of birth (Guyana). She left Guyana when she was 28 years old and didn’t return until 20 years later. When she did return, she felt a lot of emotions and a lot of changes that she thought would never happen. She was very happy to what her birth place has become over the years but she was very sad to see the house that she built.
The return of your original place of birth makes you realize, reflect and appreciate what you achieve, and what you earn in life. It allows you to reflect on the opportunities that you we privileged to get and all the things that you achieved on your own.
