Another day in Belize

Hello! These next few posts will be on the same day because unfortunately the wifi on the rest of my trip was not strong enough to upload these posts. However, no worries because I wrote them on a Word document so that I could post them as soon as I could.
Here we go!

April 8th

Today was wonderful. But before I get started... some history!

Can you Belize it or not?
1. The capital is not Belize City because it had to get moved due to constant natural disasters
2. It's total population is the smallest in Central America
3. However, it is only the second smallest country (The 1st is El Salvador)
4. The May flower tree was and is used to tell the time in the country
5. Creo is a commonly spoken language and sounds similar to a shortened and sped up version of english

Hope you have learned something!

Now on with the day.
I would like to write about one of the events that we did today, which was visiting a k-8 school in Belize known as Santa Elena Primary School. I met a young 8 year old named Shahidda and can honestly say that I learned so much from her. She was honest and hard working and most of all, with any bump in the road Shahidda pushed on. She has truly inspired me as a person and I hope and cane be a better one after our day together. I also hope that I made even the smallest print on her life as well.
The last thing I would like to mention is a quote I saw at the school. "Do my best, so that I cannot blame myself for anything." This quote was written on the inside of one of the classrooms we visited. It stood out to me because of the concept that is so very true. Often times we get upset at others and ourselves and believe there is no cure. Well, in Belize I discovered the only cure is to do your best, and if that does not prevail you push on until you reach the other side.

I'm am so grateful for this experience and hope you enjoyed this Blogging By Talia!
See you soon!
