Leaving Homeland

Leaving ones homeland has to be one of the hardest things some people may choose to do. They may decide that it is time to leave home for many reasons such as a better education for their children or even just to feel a sense of security or safety which there homeland lacks. What ever the case may be, adapting to a new country/environment is not an easy task. Many families have to adapt to new government, cultures and just styles of learning. Anybody making the decision to leave home and migrate to another country will have to leave a lot of things behind including other family members but I feel that it's for the best even though it may be hard. The family that they are leaving behind would have to adapt to life without them an may be dependent on the people who left to continue to support them in some way. I feel that migrating to a whole new culture doesn't always bring just the positive because every country has it's downfall. In the reading "A Map to the Door of No return", the little boy talks about how disappointing it was not not know where he came from and I agree with him because I moved from Jamaica at a very young age and I don't remember much about where I came from. I don't remember the environment I lived in and can't really relate to the stories of other people who grew up in jamaica because I only went back to visit once when I was 16. All though I don't remember much about where u came from it makes me want to take the time to find out on my own and ask my mother what it was like growing up in Jamaica.
