Well, most of us learned in elementary school that "In 1492,Columbus sailed the ocean blue." this may be true, but Columbus did not discover the country we love and live in today. Many thousands of years before Columbus made this famous voyage, there were many different tribes of Native Americans living such territories as present day Kansas, Florida, and even our own Texas! Also, did you know that Vikings from the Scandanavian area of the world such as Norway and Sweden?
Also, Christopher Columbus was not Spanish, but Italian! The only reason Columbus sailed under the Spanish flag was because the Spanish royalty were thenonly royalties that would finance hit voyage, which many other nations believed was tomfoolery because at that time, everybody believed the world was flat. In addition to what everyone perceives as this great thic he did, Columbus also committed mas genocide of many of the npNative Americans that lived in this new world. Well, know that you know a little more about him, your opinion might change.

Scary Stuff, Man
The scariest thing that ever happened to me.....well, i would definitely say that the scariest thing that has ever happened to me happened yesterday, Thursday, October Sixth. Yesterday, I had forgotten my homework at home, and so my Dad had to bring it to me during lunch. when he brought it to me, he told me that my Mom's health was declining, and that the nurses and doctors at the Hospice El Paso facilities thought that she probably wouldn't make it through the night.
After my Dad told me this, I immeidiately went down to the attendance office and checked myself out to go to the hospice facilities. During the next few hours, my Dad and grandmother all cried together, and talked about the best memories of my Mom. After we saw that there weren't any major developments in her health, we went home. I didn't feel like doing my homework to any extent, so i went to sleep. Today is Friday, October seventh, and as far as I know her situation has not changed.
