COLOMBUS DAY

Explorer and navigator Christopher Columbus was born in 1451 in the Republic of Genoa, Italy. His first voyage into the Atlantic Ocean in 1476 nearly cost him his life. Columbus participated in several other expeditions to Africa. 1492, Columbus left Spain in the Santa Maria, with the Pinta and the Niña along side. He has been credited for opening up the Americas to European colonization.

Reflection: My reflection on Christopher Columbus and Columbus day is on his voyage into the Atlantic Ocean in 1476 almost killed him, he still continued his journey to figure out. A man who would put his life up to figure out a lot of stuff for us to understand life in many ways is allowed to have a day just to show him pride for what he has done in life.
