New Zealand Reflections

Sarah

Before I started studying New Zealand, I thought that a lot of people, were **not** different. When I was researching, I found out there are different foods, clothing, people, animals, and the way of life. That changed my way of life. I started trying different things, wearing different clothes, and learning about different people. Now my thoughts have become more diverse.

I learned that New Zealand is an island, and made up of colonies! New Zealand also is on the other side of the world, so it's a little different. Right now in Houston it is 1:37 pm March 23, 2016. In New Zealand it is 7:37 am March __24__, 2016. Also, July is the **coldest** month in New Zealand, and in Houston it is the hottest month. In New Zealand January is the **hottest** month, and in Houston it is the coldest. I also learned that the kiwi is the country fruit, and there is a bird named the kiwi bird. One more thing I surprisingly didn't know, Lord of the Rings was also made in New Zealand! There are so many **amazing** things about New Zealand!

Learning about this country made me have a different perspective on the world. My perspective became more diverse, and now I know about many different places and religions! When I see something new, I try it. When I see someone new, I talk to them. Learning about this project made me a better person!
