Heeey Africa...what about a little puma?

Out of all of the wonderful countries we've studied this past year, (and it's gone by so fast!) My favorite was probably the Africa Unit. I think that African culture and people are so interesting, and very different from America, obviously. It has interesting landscapes, wild animals, ancient traditions, and though its a struggling and impoverished nation, they manage to maintain those rich traditions. I also enjoyed learning about all of the cultural differences across the nation and the hardships they face. I believe that if we know more about third-world countries like those in Africa, the more we can help them in the long run. Someday I hope to visit Africa so I can see it all for myself, though it may be hard to witness, honestly.
Reflection: Well. This past week has been...quite eventful. And scary. And altogether AMAZING. On wednesday we took our UIL play to Westlake for competition, and despite the major car wreck we got into on the way there, we did manage to get there and advance to districts!!! Aaahh! So now we go on to perform again this thursday, with our play Ruby's Story. I can't wait. In fact, I'm more excited than...a fat man lost in a donut store. To be blunt. woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
