World




You Are a Citizen of the World



Whenever possible, you try to pay attention to what's going on in the world.

You are truly interested in all people and countries, no matter how far away from you they are.



You try to learn, travel, and understand.

Being a part of the whole world is important to you, and you're always working to be more internationally focused.

What Pizza am I??




Cheese Pizza



Traditional and comforting.

You focus on living a quality life.

You're not easily impressed with novelty.

Yet, you easily impress others.

Washington D.C.







Washington D.C. was so much fun. We left on Saturday and went to visit my aunt and uncle. Then on Sunday morning we went and saw the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. After that we went to there Church, and later back to there house to have a cook out and motorcycle rides. It was so much fun. Then we headed up to Washington D.C. and collapsed in our Hotel room. The next day we got up and rode the metro into the city. We got of by the Holocaust museum and went through that, then we went to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, then we finished the day at the Natural History Smithsonian. The next day we took a tour bus and got to see all the monuments and important things like that. Then we met up with friends for dinner. The last day there we went to the National law enforcement monument, the White house (we got to go inside!), Congress building (we had a 2 hour personal tour!!!),and got to go up in the Washington monument, we also had dinner at Union Station. I got 2 giant coins, 52 postcards, a tee shirt, and a bunch of pamphlets as souvenirs. We haven't uploaded our pictures yet, but I couldn't let this entry go without a picture.

Wishing

Today we were at the pool and my mom and I were talking about a book I just read. One of the things my mom asked is if I could change anything about my life what would it be? I told her I would change the amount I could do for countries like Haiti. I miss Haiti. I hate to say it but I am sick of being submersed with only whites and whites culture. I can't wait till the twins come home, I miss them so much. One, of my favorite songs has the phrase "If homes where the heart is then I am out of place. Lord help me make it through somehow." Which is how I feel, my heart is not at rest here. I am having such a hard time being content here.



I am going to try and start blogging 1 a week at least. each week I am going to try and learn a new fact about either Haiti or Africa. I will try to share them with you.

Teenage Life

I think it is easy to tell when everyone else goes crazy and loses there mind, but it is much harder to admit that you have lost your mind. I have started realizing and admitting that I am now a teenager and actually act like them in some ways. Teenagers don't have a very good reputation in the U.S. I would really like to be diffrent then the norm. I guess it is just something to pray about.

How Quaint!!




You Should Paint Your Room Purple



Sophisticated and exotic, purple can also be a deeply comforting color.

Your purple room will inspire you to trust yourself more and go with your intuition.

Purple has also been known to facilitate healing and a feeling of protection.



Guess what color my room is?? Purple and Green!!!! Crazy hu??

Where should I rule??




You Should Rule Mercury



Close to sun, Mercury has very long days - and is rarely visible to the rest of the solar system.



You are perfect to rule Mercury, because you live for the present - and can truly enjoy a day that goes on forever.

Like Mercury, you are quick and elusive. Your wit is outstanding, and you can win any verbal sparring match.



Some people see you as superficial, but in truth, you just play many roles and have many interests.

A great manipulator, you usually get what you want from people. And they're happy to give it to you.
