Homeland

       What would I do with my "once in a lifetime" opportunity? With no money I would try to hitch hike my way to my homeland Armenia, which seems quite impossible. I would definitely need to get on a plane to get there, so I would sell my car to get there. I feel it is my responsibility to travel to my homeland and learn more about it. I have never been there, but this coming May I will finally see Armenia and get to feel the soil beneath the soles of my feet. I will not be able to contain my excitement and I will also probably get quite emotional. Anyways, once I get to Armenia I will move around to every single village and city. I will travel on foot, in cars and even boats. I will get to see and feel every single part of Armenia. I would visit every church in Armenia (which is a lot) and light a candle in each one. I would also hike within all the greenery and take in all the beautiful scenery. Not only would I completely explore Armenia, but I would also visit such neighboring countries.
      In my homeland I would find old Armenian books and make memories with Armenian grandparents. I would sit down with them for hours and they would talk to me about all their experiences and what they hope for for the next generation. They would give me insight to the best places to explore and truly feel at home. For hours a day I would sit on the grass and feel my land within my hands. I would stay up all night and by three or four in the morning I would watch the sunrise. I would visit orphanages and speak to all the children there and bring them gifts. I would eat the fully fresh and organic food that Armenia offers to me and I would probably live off cheese and bread for many weeks. I would roam all around Armenia and never stay in one place because the entire nation is my home.
