A lot of homework now is online and on computers and it is hard for people who do not have wifi or any technology source to get things done.
Flute
I had to get taught how to play the region music but I still hardly know the music.
Rides
Major theme parks use a lot of technology to build their rides and make sure they are safe so I don't fall off and die.
8. Religion/ Values
Christmas
Christmas is a holiday my family goes all out with and we have to go to all of my grandparents and everyone in my family gathers together.
Mythology
I find mythology really interesting and fun to learn about but not only because of Percy Jackson. Mythology was actually the reason I read Percy Jackson.
Great Great Grandparents
On my mothers side my family was full Cherokee. (that is actually them in the photo)
