Personal History

The country where I am from is Guyana. It is a small country in South America. Not many people know's about it. It is the the north of Brazil and next to venezuilla. It is not a spanish speaking country. Most people think that all of the people from South America are spanish speaking. There are few of the english and french speaking countries left in South America. The many language spoken is that country is English. Since it was ruled by the English for a while. But before the English ruled it the Dutch ruled there. But the first people there were the Native Indians, it is unknown for when they got there. But it is known that they were the first people there and knew how to use the land to their advantage. Guyana is mainly forest, Guyana is one of the last known unexplored regions on earth . They say there are many undiscovered animals and other things in the world. They say that is where big foot lives and other close and lost links to the human ape evolution chain. Guyana is a very mysterious place and weird place.


I can trace my personal history back to China and India. My mom is 1/2 indian and 1/2 chinese. On my dad he is full indian but he dosen't speak hindi (the language spoken in India). I don't know what were the intetions of my family coming to America. But I do know that my great grandma was brought to Guyana as a slave. But in 1834 when slavery was abloished she moved to the capital which is now Gerogetown. There she met my great grandpa who was a very wealthy person. His name was Dave Hussain. As for my great grandma, Her true name was never known thats what my grandma says. But her english name was Boda Ping.

My dad's Grandpa name was John Primey. He was directly from India and Before he lived in india he was born in England. He was married in 1849 , to my great grandma. Her name was Frances. My great grandpa was bught over to help the rebillion of slavery. Sometime during the boat ride his sister died and she was buried at sea. My great grandpa was a great musican to he played many instruments. But towards the end of his life he went blind. My family is very complicated and confusing.

As for the history of my mom's side of the family. I might never the true history of why they came to Guyana because my grandpa is now dead and my grandma is in florida. But my dad's mom and dad are in New York. The language mainly spoken in my house is English. My mom dosen't know full chinese. My grandma in Florida dosen't speak it at all, she won't tell anyone why. I would like to learn how to speak chinese.

The economy of china right now is very good. But in my grandma's time it was very bad. But she said she wasn't in china very long. She had moved to India which at the time was ruled by the british. Soon she had found herself taken on a ship to guyana to help harvest sugar cane.

The econmy of both countries are very good now. The average person in India makes $3,800 a year. India's overall Gross Domestic Products is $3.154 trillion. Even though poverty in India is extremly high the people still find a way out and they become very smart. Most of the doctors in the United States are Indian. As for the China there econmy is very good. There econmy is very good. The average person makes $ 4,400 a year. While China's Gross Domestic Producting is $10.17 trillion. So as you can see both of the Countries where my family are from as very wealthy countries. They both have very good econmies and produce very smart people and have the dame laws as America.

If you would compare America's econmy to Guyana's econmy. Amercan's make far more money, in everything. The average person in America make $44,000 a year. While the average person in Guyana makes $3,800 a year. Guyana's GDP is $364.8 million as compared to America's GDP which is $ 13.14 trillion. So as you can see America's econmy iis much more better than Guyana's. That is on of the many reasons why many people come to America. But the level of education is Guyana is much more higher than America's. But why my family came to America is for the better education and better way of living. So both countries are very good in education wise. People say that if Guyana wasn't a Third World Country, it would give America a run for its money. I am proud to say that I am from Guyana and I live in America.

Searching the Web

The new world that Christopher Columbus discovered was good heres a link to a good site New
World.


Heres a bad link : Bad Link

This link is bad because it has no information about The New World and Christopher Coloumbus. It only has toys and other stuff. The only people who would use this site would be little kids and parents.

The reason I choosed the good site because it has myan information about the new world and
Christopher Coloumbus. This site is hosted by a University and if praised by professional. People who would use this would be kids who are doing exit projects on the new world or people doing a report on Christopher Coloumbus.

The Jazz Era

The jazz era was a time of good music and the reason why I choose this topic because jazz is one of my favorite topic.

Here is a very good site and has many goood links: Jazz

The bad link that I found that was bad beacuse it wasn't exactly accurate from what I learned. Most of the information is untrue but most of the pictures are from the 20's and the early 30's.

Here is the bad link for the site: jazz era

I Am

I am Andre P. I am an incoming 9th grader. I like to play games and watch tv. I like to do puzzles. My goal is to solventhe rubiks cube in under 30 seconds.


I am all about girls and games. I love to ride my bike and other outdoor activities. But I spend most of the time on the computer and in my room playing the electric guitar. Music is my favorite hobby. I play many instraments for instance I play the Trumpet, Guitar...Etc.

I like blues music and rock. I love playing the blues on my saxaphone, but when I am bored I rather play some hendrix on Led Zippline on my Guitar. But I rather play the blues because I can relate to the pain and sorrow they feel.

Things that make me sad are when I pop a string on my guitar and many other things. when I am happy I start to act weird and funny. I like to make people around me laugh and move around. I like to play music for people and see that I did good and they liked it.

My family has 5 members my mom and dad, a little brother who is 6 and a sister who is 3. My family is my inspiration for my music. My dad taught me to write music and when I write songs i dedicate them to my family.

My hopes for High School is to join the band and also, have lots of fun while studying hard. I have no fears in High School because I know the people around me are cool and smart even if they act weird.

In life i hope to become a professional musican and a scientist. I know i have to practice hard and study.

I live in Jamaica queens with my family. And I also have many friends from my middle school and my neighborhood. On sundays I like to stay out with them and go ride bikes with them.

I am thankful for my life and i hope that all my drems come true in high school.
