About Me

     Hello, my name is Gian Rendon and this is a blog post about me. I am 19 years old and I was born in Lawrenceville, Georgia. I am bilingual and can speak English and Spanish. Both of my parents were born in Colombia dad is from Medellin and mom is from Bogota. This is also the reason I can also speak Spanish as I was raised in a predominantly Spanish speaking household. I went to Cooper Elementary School, McConnell Middle School, and Archer High School. The two sports I used to participate in were Soccer and Cross-Country. Cross Country was very daunting at first as I had never run long distance but it was a very unique experience I enjoyed. My main hobbies include watching movies or shows, playing video games and spending time with friends and family. I am also into computers and even built my own that I use for school and personal use. My current declared major is CMAP, as I aspire to be involved with the cinema industry.

Eventually, an expedition was started by Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada. They ran into the indigenous people of Colombia, who were decimated through diseases or or violence. The Spanish in the region eventually started importing Africans for labor

Bermuda

The island is made up of seven tiny islands that mark the northern point of the infamous Bermuda Triangle. It is also home to many historical, cultural, and political events that create lasting effects on the people of the island. The bermuda was first settled in the form of a wreckage of a British ship, as stated in the Virtual Research Library.  Then, slaves were introduced to the island.  There was a lot of harsh treatment that resulted in many revolts, until slavery was finally abolished in 1834. Bermuda's economy was carried by the shipping industry, building ships from wood. The island eventually became a manning and ship building center. THere were many racial tensions on the island as well, where Afro- Caribbeans would protest they racism they would endure. Race riots began to sprout across the nation, and there was a call for independence from Bri
