Recently, I joined my grade on a walkout to protest for gun safety. It was really loud there but I was so surprised by how many people came. The park was packed. We heard amazing stories from different people. The signs were cool and funny but made a point. News crews came and the back of my head got on tv. I was happy to be apart of it.

In the Inca culture, a culture and civilization that was in Peru before the colonizers, they did many rituals and activities that we might find absurd today. One of the interesting things that they did that stood out to me was what they did to children’s’ heads. They would wrap their children’s heads with cloth when they were soft and squishy. They did this for a visual appeal. Just like how today you might put on make-up.
