A Simple Life of a Teenage Boy - Page 26/97

The New Year has begun bringing us new challenges ahead in our life.

I passed my 7th Grade and this was my last year as a secondary level student. In the next year, I will be in 9th Grade and enter high school. Past few months were full of fun. The 'Christmas Day' along with 'New Year' was full of excitement. Oh, and I forgot to mention about our visit. Switzerland is amazing. The beautiful scenery of mountains, hills, rivers and forests has no words to describe. One has to get there to feel the beauty of nature. As Albert Einstein once said, "Look deep in nature and then you will understand everything better" The nature has such an immense beauty that no one can ever describe in their words. The woods were lovely, dark and deep. Whenever I walked into the pathless woods and lonely shores of Switzerland, the nature embraced me with its grand beauty. The mountains were so tall, beautiful and shiny when it kissed the blue and deep sky. Truly, there's no way I could ever see or feel such a beauty again.

Besides natural beauty of Switzerland, the houses and people were lovely and welcoming. They all greeted us with flowers and chocolates. The local people were generous as well. We stayed in Uncle Tom's house which was big and comforting. His wife, Aunt Samantha was loving and caring. She was from England and had British accent. They all were lovely and kind-hearted. They had a daughter named Cynthia who was same as my age. We became friends in our short meet. She took me to different places where we had loads of fun and shared amazing moments. My sister Gracy stayed with our parents at home and visited few places with them. But I wanted to visit deep and lovely places. Cynthia was like my guide. She was along with me the whole time. She took me to different parks of Geneva. Geneva is one of the greenest cities in the world consisting more than 20 parks. We visited Jet d'Eau Fountain which was the tallest fountain in the world. We also visited Geneva's ancient Old Town which was a former Roman Marketplace. I wished Jenny would be there with me.
