Columbus Day

      Columbus day is on Monday, October 10. Columbus Day first become an official state holiday on 1906. Then later on in 1937 President Franklin D.Roosevelt proclaimed Columbus Day as a national holiday. Even though the first celebration took place in 1792. This is an important day because it was the day that Christopher Columbus arrived and discovered the American continent. The landing is celebrated as “Columbus Day” in the United States. It is called differently in many other states like Spain and Belize for example. This holiday has been celebrated unofficially since the 18th century and officially in the early 20th century.

Reflection:

      My thoughts about this day is very important to me. It celebrates when Christopher Columbus found this great continent of ours that some of us are living in right now. I feel very inspired about this day because it shows that when you travel you can find amazing new things that you didn't even know existed. Many great things can come out of discovering new things just like it did to Christopher when he found the American continent. Now they made a special day for him called “Columbus Day” just because he went to travel and found something new.
