       My favorite country is Guatemala. It is my favorite country because my grandma is from there. Guatemala is a country in Central America bordered by Mexico. The Pacific Ocean is southwest of Guatemala. Guatemala attained independence in 1821 as part of the Fedreal Republic of Cenral America, which dissolved in 1841. Guatemala’s capital and largest city is Guatemala. Most appropriate language spoke in Guatemala is Spanish. The president of Guatemala is “Jimmy Morales” and the Vice President is “Jafeth Cabrera.” Guatemala has the independence from the Spanish empire. “Guatemala” means “place of many trees” which is true because once you enter Guatemala it is surrounded with trees. Guatemala was declared from the first Mexican empire July 1, 1823. The population as of 2016 is 16,582,469 people. And Guatemala’s state bird is a quetzal and that is also what the money there is called.

   My favorite animal is a zebra. I like zebras because of their stripes and because of the type of pattern they have. I like zebras because they are like horses and donkeys and I like horses to but I’d prefer zebras. My favorite type of zebra is a mountain zebra. There type of class is “Mammalian” and not many animals have that class. Did you know that each kind of zebra has different type of stripes or different patterns. But they’re the same color. Researchers believe that the stripes on zebras work like camouflage so they hide from their predators.

    Gratitude means to be grateful for something or someone.     I am grateful for my mom because she does everything around the house. She always asks me if I have homework so I don’t forget and get in trouble. She always asks for my help when it comes to heavy things so she doesn’t hurt herself. She always asks me if I am hungry so I don’t starve. She always asks if I’m okay because a mother knows when her daughter isn’t. She always tells me to look at what my dog is doing so I can realize how much more I have to appreciate in my life. She always says “I love you, have a good day at school” even if I don’t say anything back  I know she means it. She always says “How was school?” And I hit back with an attitude “Same as always mom (horrible).” My mom may thing I don’t notice the little things but I always see them coming one way or another.

     Today at 9:30 when I was in science we had a fire drill, in the middle of no where you can hear the fire alarms going off. And we had to shut the lights off, and evacuate the building as quickly as possible. The fire department wanted us out of the building at least under 3 minutes. We quickly left the building through the main entrance and I turned around and all I see is kids rushing out through everywhere. Once we got outside we had crossed the street when we weren’t supposed to so we turned around and crossed the street again. We went to the sidewalk and we had to wait until the fire department told us we could go back in the building. I was already used to it, because I was in Emerson since kindergarten and they do the same thing every year.

      Now that I can post things and have the privilege to post things I am very excited to share my life with everyone one. I will use it respectfully and responsibly. I am very glad I got the privilege to blog because I love blogging and letting everyone know how my life is going. I use Blogger responsibly because if I didn’t my privileges would be gone. I like blogging because it’s like journaling but you get to share it with everyone. Imagine the whole world reading your posts, and your only one person. It’s pretty coool if you think about it.
