I have a few passions in life; the outdoors, running, education, and travel. Im not a huge sports fan but love to go to Dodgers and LA Galaxy games with my friends. One thing that makes me unique is my crazy hair. It was straight when I was little, super curly until I was twenty five, and is not only wavy. Its crazy. My family is small and we like to be outside camping, running, hiking, and biking. My grandpa and grandma are my favorite two people in the world. My grandpa was a model maker for an aeronautics company and fought in World War II in the Coast Guard.

Why? Today I learned that Mesoamerica includes the land between North and South America. Many important groups of people lived there. They were advanced in math and science. Incorrectly, they worshiped many gods. The even practiced human sacrifice. Even though they were advanced, I think they were very mean. The Spanish eventually conquered them. Mesoamerica was the home of advanced cultures including the Olmec, Maya, and Aztecs. The Mayans and Aztecs had a diet based on maize. Both had advanced understandings of math and astronomy, were polytheistic, and practiced human sacrifice. The Aztecs built huge cities like Tenochtitlan. Mesoamerica was the home of thee cultures who shared similar cultures. They were very advanced civilizations and were polytheistic. They lived in big cities and traded.
