You haven't failed until you stop trying!
On Mother’s Day I used my strengths to cook her breakfast and dinner. My Mother’s Day started with my sister yelling so I could come downstairs so i could cook. For breakfast we cooked bacon, egg, muffin, hash browns, and a yogurt bowl. After breakfast we played cards and I lost every round. For dinner I made mash potato and steak and salad.
Although my family is special in a way that my mother is currently absent and does not live with me, I got through mother’s day just like any other normal day for me. This might bring you the question: what did i even do on Mother’s day? Well the truth is I didn’t do anything special for my mother on Mother’s day, but I did celebrate it kind of like grandparents day with my grandmother, although I didn’t craft her anything or did anything too special, she thought it was very kind and respectful for me to write a letter for her and even though it was done in a rush she gave me a big hug after what I have wrote to her and that is how I have contributed in my family on Mother’s day.
Happy Africa Day
May 25th is a day to celebrate the wonder and beauty of Mother Africa. Africa is home to 1.216 billion people. Africa is the second biggest continent in the world. I found this very surprising.
I come from Africa and yet I am still in awe of it’s beauty. This beautiful continent has a variety of natural wildlife, most of it which can only be found on the continent. It is home to different cultures and traditions and is the #1 place to go to for an exclusive tour. Africa is filled with beautiful wild animals such as the African elephant, white rhinoceros, zebra, and giraffe.
The original name of this continent was, Alkebulan, which means “mother of mankind” or “garden of Eden”
Africa day was made to celebrate the OAU (Organization of African Union) in 1963. On the 25th of May 1963, leaders from 32 African Nations converged in Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa, to form the OAU. The OAU was created to help bring change and freedom to many African countries.
This holiday is celebrated by various countries on the continent of Africa, as well as some places around the world.
On this very day, we will love, cherish, and honor the beautiful continent we know as Africa.

This is how I was able to use my strengths to contribute to my family on Mother’s Day.
I tried something new and made origami roses for my mother. I wanted to show my mother how much I cared for her so i made her a bunch of paper roses and put them in a box with one huge rose in the middle. I also made a little box and drew a picture of a heart rose for my mom. She seemed very happy about it. We also laughed and joked around about past memories. Later that day we listened to the birds outside sing. My mom also told me about how her and her father would listen to the birds for hours and be the happiest people alive. I hope my mom knows how much she means to me.
The people who make up our families love and care for us. Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Grandparents Day are special days in which we show our appreciation for the wonderful people in our families.
Think back to Mother’s Day on Sunday May 10, 2020. Share your story of how you made her feel important, especially during this unusual and stressful covid-19 pandemic.
