There's No Place Quite Like My Origin little Island

My birth land is my most special place on earth

Author, Donnette Anglin(right) hanging out with a friend in Jamaica

I've adapted to living in a foreign land. But every time my flight touches down on the ground where I'm from, I'm reminded my birth land is someplace special.

The fresh air, warm sunshine, and the familiarity of my people are some of the simple things that make me feel right at home.

The small island of 10,992 km2(4244 sq mi) with a population of under 3 million is a favorite tourist destination.

Its beautiful white-sand beaches, year-long tropical climate, exquisite hotels, and popular jerks flavoring foods form a part of its unique culture.

But above all this; it's the people that will wow you over.

There's no place quite like this little rock. Jamaica will always be my favorite spot on the world map.

Jamaica is home to the world's fastest man, Usain Bolt. Reggae singer, icon Bob Marley, and four times winners of the Miss World Beauty Pageant. These are a few things that make Jamaica no secret to the world.

We would often say, "Wi little but wi Talawa."

Jamaicans always greet you with a warm embrace and a "No Problem" attitude, even in tough times.

Our unique native dialect may raise a few eyebrows, a smirk, or even a frown. "What did you just say?" is often the question when we speak our native dialect — patios.

But never underestimate our intelligence or judge us by the way we speak. It is what makes us uniquely proud Jamaicans. We know how to transition and fit in like a pro anywhere we go.

There's so much more I could brag about my tiny Caribbean Island.

But, instead, I am extending you an invitation to visit and experience it yourself.

So, now you know, I'm a genuine Caribbean gal and a proud one.

I'm ever ready with a ray of sunshine packed in my heart to illuminate and brighten your day.

Come join me. I'm all cozy up at home, soaking it all in.

How a Rote Learning-Based Education System Stifled the Natural Writer in Me
