A Place I Belong to

My first connection to this Aina is definitely my family who has been living here about 20 years. They are the ones that showed me many places in Hawaii, made me feel like Hawaii is a part of my life now. After living here about more than one year, I gradually get used to everything in Hawaii and fall in love with it without any notice  and see it as my second home. Hawaii welcomed me with a dizzle, a fresh wind and beautiful mountains. I love rain but rain in the Vietnam is really heavy and sometimes it lasts a whole week and comes with rocks too. And needless you say, it’s really humid and uncomfortable after a rain. The street is so slippery and muddy and full of trash. But in Hawaii, rain is so cool and fresh, I love walking in the shower. I think that most of us who are now living in Hawaii at least once see a double rainbow after a rain, It gives me a feeling with full of hope. Staying at home, listening to music while watching the rain is the most comfortable thing that I have ever done in my free time 

I love plants over here, too. I feel like trees in Hawaii are greener than in any other places. It always makes me feel peaceful and safe. Mountains are full of many different kinds of trees and flowers which can give you a look at many spectacular sightseeings you can never imagine from the tops. In some ways, this land always makes me feel calm, heals my pain, eases my mind. It is really relieved to think of my old age in this Aina, to be surrounded by nature. Hawaii is not an ideal place for tourists to come here many times but it is a heaven to live. Having a place that you belong to is such a beautiful feeling. This gorgeous land gains a responsible feeling in me, which encourages me to do good deeds to this Aina even in small ways.
