Homeland

I came to Canada five years ago, but my homeland is still with me, and I miss everything such as the holidays, the culture, the traditional food, and in general, all the things I grew up with, especially my family. My country, Eritrea, is a small country in East Africa, with its beautiful weather and four different seasons, summer, winter, fall and spring. The society is known for its beautiful ethics and the interest to live in peace with all people. I am affected by this, so it has helped me to live like that. Even though my parents are physically away from me, I still eat our traditional food I grew up with and think about the way I grew up.
