Hello Everyone my name is Emily Terry I am a freshman year film student at Georgia Gwinnett College. This is my first time creating a blog and I'm looking forward to what I will be creating on here. A little bit about myself, I was born in the beautiful state of Georgia in a quaint city of Roswell in the outskirts of Hotlanta. I am one of Georgia's first set of Quintuplets. Which means I'm one of five kids, my two sisters and two brothers were born on March 19, 1997, which happens to be around the time of the Hale-Bopp comet. Since then we've since moved to Athens Georgia and have lived there ever since. Let me speak a little bit on my interests. Every year since I was five my brother would take my siblings and I on a ski trip. This has instilled a great passion for skiing and the mountain air. This passion has led me to work at Breckenridge Ski Resort in Breckinridge Colorado, and Deer Valley Ski Resort  in Park City Utah. Now being in this specific town in Utah sparked a new passion in me that I never knew was there. Park City hosts the Sundance Film Festival  every year which showed me the exciting moments of the film industry which led me to major in film. Here is a picture of my boyfriend, twin sister and I on the ski slopes:

Blog Post #4- Getting to know your island: Bermuda

Image
 As many of us know Bermuda is infamously known as The Bermuda Triangle, VCL  exclaims "a region of the Atlantic ocean where many ships and planes were said to disappear". Still to this day people have no clue as to why these strange disappearing's keep happening, they don't know if it's the climate making people disoriented or if there's a more sinister situation happening.  All that aside Bermuda is consisted of seven main coral islands shaped like a fish hook, a little bit about the island is "it's made up of most Bermudian English, a dialect distinct from other Caribbean creole languages, Portuguese is also spoken here" (VCL).  Bermuda is unique in more ways, it's colonization was actually on accident. "the first settlement on Bermuda was forged in the wreckage of a British flagship called Sea Venture in 1609." This interested me the most because it's one of the most well known islands of the Caribbean and it was settled com...

Caribbean History- Nicaragua

Image
       Nicaragua is a beautiful country located in Central America, historically known as the Atlantic coast. Nicaragua is very unique historically, because it is the only country to be colonized by both the Spanish and the British. As stated on VCL "Nicaragua has two histories, a pre Columbian era which the indigenous people migrated from Mexico to Columbia and the modern era where Christopher Columbus invaded." Now you could say this is definitely a revolutionary time where the conquistadors are claiming their land for future generations to come. Speaking of which iEplore.com states " in 1524 Nicaragua was truly colonized by the conquistador Francisco Hernandez de Cordoba who is the founder of Nicaragua, it was left alone for 20 years before he colonized it". So these are really trying times for this region.  As one can suspect it wasn't an easy process colonizing this country, many indigenous people lost their lives due to infectious diseases and starvation. ...
