Day 2

-

On Sunday the girls club that Rosy and Aaliyah are in had the family event part of the club. What the club does each year,during the school year, is the girls learn about a new country each year and usually in either January or February they invite the rest of the families to a dinner and "presentation" of what they have learned so far. Depending on the country that is being studied will depend on what the girls do. This year they have been studying the USA so the girls gave different speeches from different presidents as well as American poems and in between presentations we joined in the folk songs. It was fun. After we came home after that we watched the Closing Ceremony for the Olympics. I have to say that I liked South Korea's performance better then Russia's.

Towards the beginning of the girls club event friends of ours, who we hadn't seen since March of last year, surprised us and a bunch of the other girls that they were friends with. Even though no one really got to spend a lot of time talking with them it was still nice to see them for a little while.

Especially when it comes to places like schools and the workplace. But most people don't realize that modesty isn't just about what you wear; it is also about how you act around others and toward yourself.  Photo by Amanda Canas on Unsplash I am talking about this because I read an article on my Facebook feed the other day about a father who posted a picture with his two daughters in their homecoming dresses. And it was talking about his response to the people commenting on the style of the dresses. I don't remember the article's name, but I do know that it mentioned "girls to dress, so they don't distract boys," as well as saying that they are "aski

The only bright side, besides being able to come inside and warm up, was getting hot chocolate. --- 5 --- Since I couldn't think of anything else to write for this one I decided to share the first couple sentences of what I have written so far of my story let me know how you like it :) Standing under the only low-lit street lamp Xiomara looked both ways at the quiet street lit only by the light of the street lamps.
