About me!


Hey, my name is Kaylah, and I am a freshman in my second semester at GGC. I am originally from Hiram, GA and I moved to Lawrenceville so I could attend college. Sometimes when I need to relax, I like to meditate and listen to calming or slow music. my favorite kind of music is 90's to early 2000's R&B and almost any kind of Hip-Hop. Some of my favorite artist are J. Cole, Keyshia Cole, Notorious B.I.G., JAY-Z, and Kendrick Lamar. Another hobby I have is collecting shoes mostly Nike and Jordan brand shoes. Last time I counted I had about 55 pairs of shoes and I know that is an absurd about of things that go on your feet while you walk. But for me is id sort of like a game and an investment because some shoes are more limited than others so if I could get a limited pair and then sell it, I could get my money back plus more in some cases. Some of my favorite shoe silhouettes are the Nike Air Force One, Air Jordan 1, Nike Air max 90, Nike Air Max 95, Nike Air Max 1, Air Jordan 4, Converse Chuck Taylor All Star, and Air Jordan 11. I also like to watch different types of TV shows and movies on my free time. Some shows that I like right now are Euphoria, All American, SpongeBob SquarePants, You, Avatar the Last Airbender, and Blood & Water. All of these hobbies and interest I've had made me into the person I am today.

Getting to know Costa Rica

Image
  An interesting part about the Costa Rican culture is what they choose to call themselves. The word for men "Tico" and "Tica" for women and comes from how they speak Spanish. They tend to add "Tico" at the end of Spanish words to show affection to one another. Even though the nickname has only been around for 2 centuries it has stuck.   Something else that interested me was the food in Costa Rica. It is a blend of Spanish, African and Native American foods, plus even more. The people from Spain brought food from Spain to Costa Rica and gave the native people different flavors of food. Now Costa Rica's food are very different since the population is varied a lot and the people who move their put a spin on classic foods from Costa Rica.   One of the most popular national forest in Costa Rica is the Monteverde Cloud Forest. An interesting fact is that about 10% of the plants there are plants that you cannot see anywhere else in the world. The only way yo

  During his fourth voyage in 1502 Christopher Columbus visited Costa Rica and the Spanish did not conquer it yet. But years later in 1564 the Spanish founded its first settlement thatchy ended up calling it Cartago. Costa Rica did not use Spain's slave labor system and instead the people of Spanish Costa Rica lived on growing tobacco and cacao. After Mexico declared independence from Spain in 1821 Costa Rica joined them in the First Mexican Empire but then that failed but in 1823 they joined and became a member of United Provinces of Central America. 23 years later due to political differences the United Provinces of Central America collapsed leaving Costa Rica independent.  During the 19th century Costa Rica got into some disputes with other nations. later in 1825 after Guanacaste succeeded from Nicaragua and became a Costa Rica territory shortly after.
