research.

My topic for National History Day is the Armenian Genocide. My topic is refers the annihilation of the Armenians from Turkish soil during world war one. I cover the deportation and the detention camps at which many Armenians were kept. I also discuss the role of other countries in aiding the Armenians, and the Turkish government's role in carrying out the killings of Armenians.

My topic is important because it's greatly ignored. More than two million people were killed and lead into detention camps against their will, and the world choose to sweep it under the rug. It is critical that people know about the events that took place on 1915-1918. This tragic event isn't even covered in history books, and is still denied by the current Turkish government.

A Letter To Younger Me ♡

Dear Martine,

Let's clarify something now, it gets better. School doesn't really matter in middle school so don't try too hard. Smile more, everyone looks better smiling. Find what makes you happy and stick to it. If your friends don't appricaite you find someone who does. Overthinking causes stress so avoid it all costs.  Oh, and you don't get any better at soccer.

Don't wear anything you'd regret seeing in pictures five years later. Your brother gets a little less annoying. Stay true to yourself and don't apologize for it. Learn to relax, it'll come in handy. Take a chill pill every once in a while. Most importantly don't miss out on any astounding opportunities.

Love,

An older and slightly wiser you ❁


P.S. you look better without braces
