CHAPTER I

The Journey Begins - Discovering Hayti's Countryside

Life is full of adventures , excitement, and wonderful memories, but most of the time we are too preoccupied with unimportant things to realize how fortunate we are to be able to live amazing experiences in this world of ours. Could you surmise the meaning of my name, Chi Amara? You may be taken aback.

Although my family is from Hayti, I was born and reared in the United States as a ten-year-old girl. I have always known that I adore the outdoors because I have a deep-seated sense that the outdoors has always been a vital component of my existence. I have always thought of nature as a mother who gives us food, shelter, and security. Mother Nature must be revered and cared for because she is a living, breathing being that is full of vital energy.

I feel rejuvenated and reconnected to myself when I'm outside. Whenever I'm feeling low, nature helps me get better and stronger. I can't help but be drawn to nature's splendor. I used to play in the garden for hours on end, chasing butterflies and gathering vibrant flowers and leaves. I enjoy being outside in general and especially enjoy being outside and observing the living things, the greenery, and the freshness of nature. Being in nature always seems to me like stepping into a fantastic place. My pumpkin, you are always glowing when you see nature, my mother used to say. I always liked being in nature, even as a newborn, and I would dream about it every night. I usually have inquiries about various universes, flora, and animals, whether at home or at school. I constantly sense that we are one. I had the most amazing and thrilling childhood experiences around them.

I hope you are as delighted as I am to share with you one of my most dreamt-of rural trips.

My summer vacation is almost here. In order for me to meet my grandparents and some other family members for the first time, my parents have agreed to take me on a family visit to their rural home. I had been dreaming of seeing my parents' homelands and meeting their family for a very long time, so I was really excited about this.

My parents were unable to take time off work to travel, so I never got the chance to broaden my horizons as much as I would have liked to. I had always dreamed of seeing the gorgeous rolling hills and lush green trees that surrounded my parents' homeland since my parents had always told me stories about their childhood spent in the country and saw it as a serene and lovely area of the world.

I had no idea that my trip to my parents' homeland would be filled with unexpected adventures, but I was certain that I would savor every second because Mother Nature is there.

There's a tangible sense of excitement in the air as summer approaches. I was preparing to spend the summer in the countryside of Hayti. This has been a long-planned trip, so I have been anticipating it with great anticipation.

I like to travel and explore new places. I've been keeping track of the days leading up to the big vacation. I have been repeatedly stuffing my suitcase with everything I will require. I've brought along my go-to teddy bear, some books, and my adventure wears. I can snap a ton of photos of my family and activities because I also have a camera.

Since it was my first time meeting my cherished grandparents and other family members, I made sure to get them some thoughtful presents to show them how much I cared.

In addition, I'm preparing for the things I'll be doing while on vacation. I've been working on my swimming since I want to swim in the nearby waterfall when I get there. I've also been honing my biking skills since I can't wait to explore the rural routes.

I'm excited to meet new people, have a great time touring the countryside, and discover more about my parents' culture. Making new experiences and taking in all the sights and sounds of the place excites me.

Today is the big day. Yay, it's finally here! My summer vacation day, the one I have been looking forward to for what feels like forever. I leaped out of bed, full of excitement for the adventure that lies ahead of me. I inhaled deeply, relishing the delightful aroma of my mother's early-morning meal. As the light began to rise beyond the horizon, I knew that my adventure had begun.

I took a quick glance around to make sure I hadn't forgotten anything. I hurried into the shower and dressed as fast as I could, choosing my clothes with care. I hurried to the kitchen and quickly ate my breakfast. After that, I couldn't contain my excitement as I walked to the car with my parents. Sitting there, I avidly took in all the views as I peered out the window. The expansiveness of the countryside, with its gently sloping hills, meandering roads, and boundless sky, was what I was picturing.

I have encountered a varied and fascinating collection of individuals since arriving at the airport. While enjoying their coffee in the airport lounge, some people were occupied with typing on their laptops; others were merely rushing and a little anxious as they raced from gate to gate in an attempt to reach their destination on time; yet others were simply waiting for their aircraft.

My parents and I were excitedly waiting for our trip at the busy airport. I stood at the window, pressing my nose to the glass, impatiently watching the jets take off and land. My enthusiasm was so intense that I had trouble controlling it as I observed the many forms and dimensions of the airplane with wide eyes. I had on a bright pink shirt, short shorts, a pink sandal, and my hair was styled with a matching ribbon. I had my tiny suitcase filled with personal items and my teddy bear in my arms. I was eager to take to the skies and see the globe. This is the moment I have been fantasizing about for weeks.  I've been keeping track of the days till my very first flight. As I watched the jets take off and land, a smile appeared on my face. It was impossible for me not to fantasize about what it would be like to be above the earth and see the planet below.

I was rushing around the airport, pointing out different aircraft and making up stories about where I thought they may be heading, I could hardly stand still. I joyfully waved to the pilots whenever I got a glimpse of them walking past me. Everyone in my immediate vicinity had to smile at my enthusiasm. Even the airport employees appear impressed by my excitement and give me some words of support.

At last, we received a call to board the aircraft. As I settled into my seat and boarded the aircraft, I managed to suppress my excitement. I took in the sights and noises of the jet as I gazed around in amazement. After a while, the plane began to move, and I couldn't help but smile and be happy. I was eager to see the world, so I waved farewell to the airport and peered out the window. We headed to the baggage reclaim area as soon as we touched down to retrieve our bags.

My parents rented a car, so we drove there to visit their hometown. Traveling to the countryside took us two hours. I seized the chance to snap some stunning photos along the road. I was so excited when the automobile pulled into my grandparents' driveway that I had trouble controlling myself.

I had been looking forward to seeing my dear family and spending my summer breaks with them. I had been counting down the days. I leaped out of the car and hurried for my grandparents' wide arms, my pulse racing with excitement. I was immediately impressed by them when I first met them. The first members of my parents' relatives I met were my grandparents.
