I chose St. Angela Merici. St. Angela Merici is the patron saint of the disabled and physically challenged. I chose St. Angela Merici because she saw that girls were unable to get a proper academic education or an education in the Christian faith, and she then decided to help young girls get the education they needed. Education is very important to me just like it was important to St. Angela Merici. I was inspired by the way St. Angela Merici saw the problem of improper education and fixed it. She was also dedicated to prayer which I believe is an important quality.

Most Floridians are aware of the name Jose Martí and his significance to the Spanish-American War; however, many of these same people fail to understand that Martí and this war are just the tail end, albeit the triumphant end, of a long struggle for independence that lasted approximately thirty years. From 1868-1878, Cuban rebels fought for Independence in what has become to be called, “The Ten Years War” (Poyo: 1979, 289). While the wealthy Cuban elites relocated to New York, it cannot be forgotten that it was the displaced Cubans in Key West, Florida that largely financed the military efforts of The Ten Years War. Not only did they raise the majority of the money, but also supported the campaign themselves by joining different expeditions and raids throughout the war effort. In this account, I hope to give you a better understanding of how the thousands of Cubans who fled to Key West during the diaspora of the Ten Years War, while almost forgotten, became the foundation layers of the Spanish-American War, and the baton that would pass between generational, Cuban, rebel leaders against the Spanish presence on their island.
I have not had the fortune to travel to many places, but did not really need to in order to write about one of my favorite places. I have chosen to write about Vizcaya, a place in which I have personally been able to experience and enjoy many times throughout my life. Although Vizcaya was constructed in what would be considered modern times, Vizcaya’s Gardens were inspired and designed in a European Renaissance style. Its formal gardens and design are reminiscent of Italian home and garden design of the late 15th to 18th century, influenced by Veneto and Tuscan Italian Renaissance. These splendid gardens are very formal and orderly, created for the environment of the user. They are very symmetrical and include all sorts of fascinating elements

Amantine-Lucile-Aurore Dupin was born on July 1st, 1804 in Paris, France. She was a French romantic writer who is widely known for her rustic novels. She was raised in Nohant, the country home of her grandmother, which is where she developed her love for the countryside, which was illustrated in most of her works. She married Casmir Dudevant in 1822, but soon got tired of his lack of sensitivity after a few years. She developed a platonic relationship with a young magistrate and then, a passionate affair with a neighbour. She moved to Paris in 1831, where her friend Henri de Latouche, the director of the newspaper Le Figaro, accepted some of the articles she wrote with Jules Sandeau (under the pseudonym Jules Sand). Amantine adopted a new pseudonym,
Suddenly being aware of where we were, I choked up with emotion, tears filled my eyes and I was wholeheartedly captivated by the breathtaking beauty of Amalfi. Before me, jagged mountains sloping towards the sea made a dramatic backdrop for what appeared to be an imposing monastery built below the ancient remains of a castle. Picturesque, white buildings among pastel cream colored houses piled high on a rocky shore surrounded a predominant church boasting an extraordinary majolica dome. On the cliff above the harbor, the ever present traffic on the Amalfi Coast Road proceeded at a snail’s pace as it entered the resort town through a tunnel dug into a giant granite boulder.
