Puerto Rico vs. Germany The thought of traveling sounds so fun, interesting and spontaneous. The two places I hope to travel to the most are Puerto Rico and Germany.

My reasoning for wanting to travel to Germany is because it’s outside the U.S. I have never been to another country, and I’m curious to see how different it is from here. I also picked two places that are very different from

Sleeping Beauty's Castle The past has a great influence on present culture. However ideas and themes of the past can change with time. This is true with the ideas associated with the medieval castle.

A Kiss In Time We all know the story of Sleeping Beauty right? About how she pricked her finger on a spinning wheel only to fall asleep and be woken up 100 years later by true love's kiss.

Disney's Medievalesque Sleeping Beauty "It was not once upon a time, but in a certain time in history, before anyone knew what was happening, Walt Disney cast a spell on the fairy tale. He did not use a magic wand or demonic powers.

Being the youngest, I sometimes feel my gift was what all that was left over. My sister Akila has the gift of beauty, Cass with the gift of riches, Agatha with goodness, and so on with every great gift you could imagine. I, on the other hand, was given the gift of wishfulness.
