SELF ASSESMENT ON BLOG I first wrote a blog for the very first time in my life, at the beginning of this semester and I happened to learn a lot. I have noticed that each time I am assigned a blog to write, I get to learn something new. For example, the first blog I did not have to include sources on my blog, and I happened to assume that it was going to be the same thing with other blogs, but it was not. I happen to not meet the criteria of including images and soon how to include sources in most of my blogs. I started working on that as from my previous blog where I also learnt to insert and edit the images on my blog. Including sources and researching on the concept given gives me a hard time when it comes to writing blogs. I like to first research and plan my blog before I begin writing, something which takes me a lot of time to work on. I am trying extremely hard to make sure that I write great content when it comes to my blogs so that anyone who reads it will enjoy reading

Everything in Jamaica has a historical background. From the island itself, to the different cultures in the area, the dances, music, and the people living in the country. They have an origin and a history where they came from hence forming the beautiful land of Jamaica. I have done a wide research on the history of the island and that is what I will be explaining today, just as the topic states. Jamaica was conquered by two countries within a span of half a decade. The first country to conquer Jamaica was Spain in the year 1655 during the Anglo-Spanish war. The Spanish ruled over Jamaica from 1655 to 1707 after which the British conquered Jamaica again and ruled over it from 1707 to 1962. It was in August 1962 when the

All we need is peace and a little bit of enjoyment, fun and even better a change of environment for quite sometime. Some of us love vacations on the beaches, others hiking or even others adventure in the forest is something they enjoy for vacations. I would personally recommend you to visit Jamaica if you are planning to go for a vaction since it is not only rigid to the beaches but has all the features that I mentioned above. Located in the Caribbean, Jamaican tropical climate is very welcoming thus tourists can visit at any time of the year. Tempratures are always high throughout the year.

Starting from the beautiful waterfalls, one can enjoy swing diving in the blue hole which is actually a natural curve. If you enjoy mountain climbing, you may hike in t
