The Pilgrims left Plymouth, England, on September 6, 1620. Their destination? The New World. Although filled with uncertainty and peril, it offered both civil and religious liberty.For over two months, the 102 passengers braved the harsh elements of a vast storm-tossed sea. Finally, with firm purpose and a reliance on Divine Providence, the cry of "Land!" was heard.
Arriving in Massachusetts in late November, the Pilgrims sought a suitable landing place. On December 11, just before disembarking at Plymouth Rock, they signed the "Mayflower Compact" - America's first document of civil government and the first to introduce self-government.
After a prayer service, the Pilgrims began building hasty shelters. However, unprepared for the starvation and sickness of a harsh New England winter, nearly half died before spring. Yet, persevering in prayer, and assisted by helpful Indians, they reaped a bountiful harvest the following summer.
The grateful Pilgrims then declared a three-day feast, starting on December 13, 1621, to thank God and to celebrate with their Indian friends. While this was not the first Thanksgiving in America (thanksgiving services were held in Virginia as early as 1607), it was America's first Thanksgiving Festival.

My last nine weeks was okay i guess it was better than i had expected.I didn't expect to have too much fun but i ended up having a lot of fun in school and with my friends.To improve this nine weeks i think that i am going to do more of my work and try harder so that i can get very good grades.I also want to start attending all of the pep rallies that the school has so that i can have more fun.
Yes i think i have gotten started on the right path to accomplish what i want because i am in digital design and that is what i want to do when i get older. I would love to be the graphics designer for Victory Records that makes their graphics and banners for the victory records bands,that is my dream job. I have started doing more of my work and getting my grades up so that is also accomplishing what i want to. I am very happy with what i am doing in life for now hopefully things will go as i want them too.
