!!!!!!!!Squeaky!!!!!!!

            Through projects and assignments in the past I have already learned a variety of things about my culture, but I would like to go more in depth about the things that I already know. I would like to learn more about influential people around he world that come from the same culture that I do. I already know some information about a very influential woman named Rigoberta Menchu. She has worked toward the rights of the indigenous people of Guatemla. She has even earned a noble peace prize.                             I would still like to learn more about her as well as others. Those people who have contributed something good to the world: people whom have worked towards peace and those whom have used their god given talents in the fields of literature, art, and music.  I’d like to know why they do what they do; what is it that makes all their hard work worth while. If I could I would want to find out how they got into doing that which they do.                                                                                                                                                                   One other thing which I would love to gain knowledge of would be the history of
Guatemala. I would want to know what happened so that it is the way it is. I strongly feel that in order to understand the present I need to know the past. I would want to learn about the birth of this country and the significance and reason of many festivals and traditions that are still celebrated as they have been for hundreds of years. There are many historical monuments that have been around for thousands of years since before the country was even around. So I would really want to know who made these and why they felt it was so important.
