Self Evaluation.

      I believe that some of my blogs need a little work. Maybe I could provide a little more information and also include more sources. I'm not exactly stressed out by the blogs, its just something I have to get use to. Im more comfortable having a week to turn in an essay. I am a natural procrastinator. To keep my self from doing that I put everything down in my planner and I check it every so often to make sure Im caught up. So lately in my opinion its just been more about balancing the work with this class and my other classes. As for revision of my blogs, I may read over it once just to check for a few mistakes I may have made and then I'll turn it in. I'm usually revising my sentences as I type so I don't have to do much. I also don't mind other students reading my blog. I have always loved sharing my opinion about different topics with others and starting an educated discussion. This allows me to do that. Moving forward, Im not sure what I'd like to talk about next. Maybe we could all focus specifically on the culture from each island and express in our blogs how much we like or dislike them and what makes them so unique. I have learned a few things about blogs. I didn't know that they were so public and that all you had to do was type in my URL to see it. I always thought they were at least on a website or an app seen through an account. I also didn't know I would enjoy the process of sharing information this way. It makes me feel like I have a voice and the whole world has access to it. It makes me feel empowered even if it is just for school assignments. I value that.

A Timeline of the History of Puerto Rico

       Puerto Rico was first inhabited by a society of hunter-gatherers who discovered the island at least a thousand years before the Spanish  arrived. They were called the Taino culture. They lived in small villages led by chiefs. Eventually Christopher Columbus came and discovered islands in the Caribbean including Puerto Rico. Eventually that lead to the Columbian Exchange and the Transatlantic slave trade. After that, around 1865, local commissions reported that slavery should be abolished. Then we fast forward to the Spanish American war. This allowed the U.S. to take Puerto Rico and other islands away from Spain. This also prevented Puerto Rico from putting in their new government.

About me 🙂

  My name is G'Da Stinson. Im 18 years old and I was born in Atlanta, Georgia and grew up in Covington Georgia. I went to Alcovy High school where I played volley ball and sung in chorus all four years.I got involved in school plays and clubs.

I took several Advanced Placement classes in high school so the work load hasn't been too stressful on me. Now because of COVID-19, like everyone else, I have had to experience college at home behind a computer. Despite the inconvenience, online learning has made the edu...
