Blog Post 5

In the Bahamas, 700 islands make up the island that consists of long floral islands with some low hills. A lot of historical facts make up the island.

About Me

                                  About Me Hi, my name is Mackenzie Green. A few things about me that I competitively danced for 14 years. I did tap, jazz, and ballet, etc. An interesting fact that a former dancer that danced at the same studio I danced at was on the tv show 'So You Think You Can Dance'. Before I had an interest in dancing I did one year of cheerleading at church but I did not really like it so much. Over years of dancing, I traveled to a few places such as California, Myrtle Beach, Greenville S.C. After traveling to different places, it made me like traveling way more now. Some other things I like to do is to hang out with friends and watch movies and tv shows.  While in Highschool I did enjoy reading a few books in English class such as 'Fahrenheit  451', 'Frankenstein', and 'Romeo and Juliet'. I took a class in my senior year called 'Sports Medicine' gave me a huge interest in what my major is in college, Exercise Science. In
