Thanksgiving

There are many things I have to be thankful for, but the one that I think about often is the fact I'm privileged enough to be able to have a roof over my head and food provided for me. An estimate of about 50,000 youth in the US have no place to stay and no money to be able to buy the food they need to be able to keep in good health, and even just to survive. It's also said that every year more than 2 million kids in America will at some point experience a point of homelessness. A lot of people, including myself sometimes, don't realize how lucky they are to be able to be a part of the percent that hasn't had to go through that in their lifetime.

Patrician Clothing Project

For my project, I did a PowerPoint describing the type of clothing patrician men and women wore during Julius Caesar's time period in Ancient Rome. Before I completed this project, I knew nearly nothing about what they wore. After, I knew almost everything about what they wore, even down to the type of jewelry they wore. This helped me get a better picture of what I was reading and I was able to visualize the story better.
