Getting to know your island


 This one sources from Britannica told me some interesting things about Grenada. One of those things that I read from it was that it was one of those countries that was being conquered by other countries like Brittan and the french and had to fight to gain its independence from then till the year 1974. It also told me how the population is there and that on the island it is majority African, mixed, east Indian. Britannica also states that the island heavily relies on financial support from the United Kingdom and other countries. One interesting thing that I found out about the island is that the countries government heavily encourages tourists to come to the country when it comes to things like trading and services and manufactures. The kind of topics that interest me the most is the kind of cultures the island has and how the country gained it's independence. There's more that I would like to know about the island and how things are today when it comes to the island culturally.

  Parker, Franklin D., Orozco, Manuel S., Walker, Thomas W., Arguello, Rosendo and Nietschmann, Bernard. "Nicaragua." Encyclopedia Britannica, Invalid Date, https://www.britannica.com/place/Nicaragua. Accessed 9 March 2021.   The next country that I was interested in was a country named Nicaragua. I don’t very much about this country, but I am curious to know how things are when it comes to culture, food, and cost of living. Orozco states that, the Country Nicaragua is in the Caribbean Sea and is the largest Central American republics. Orozco insists that, the country was colonized by the Spanish and the British. The country population is much bigger than I expected, and it surprised me to learn that it's still recovering from the dictatorship (Parker, ). The country is not as diverse with most people there are Spanish/Indian, 2nd white, 3rd black (Parker, ethnic groups). Most of the population speaks Spanish though there used to be Indian languages, but they dis

 Life for me has been quite a experience and will be more interesting later on. My kind of hobbies that I like hardly have ever changed from time to time but have been things that I have been interested in doing for a while now. One of my favorite hobbies that I like doing is gaming. When I'm on my free time I like to play video games with my friends and talk to them through the system I'm playing on. My second favorite hobby that I like doing is working out or weight lifting. I used to play football when I was younger in the second grade and throughout high school that got into weight lifting in the first place. Last but not least I like building things or making things, ever since I was young I would always build things with toys to build something of my imagination.
