About Me

Getting To Know The Dominican Republic Doing Research The Dominican Republic takes over two-thirds of the island Hispanola. This country was explored by Christopher Columbus in 1492. It was named La Espanola. Four years later in 1946 Santo Domingo was founded and is the oldest European Settlement in Western Hemisphere.

Fields I could Improve In      There are many things that I think I can improve on. For starters, my organization could use some work. I have some trouble in my blogs when it comes to knowing where to put what and when. Sometimes I don't know whether I should start another subheading or insert a picture there. Sometimes my transitions don't seem smooth which I feel makes my blog all over the place.      When it comes to writing in general I always procrastinate becau
