Reflection Day 28

 Today learned about Maya Angelou. She created a plethora of poems including the "Black Family Pledge" and still I rise. After learning about her life, we created a pledge of our own to protect and honor our culture. As an African American, I pledge to take pride in my heritage. I will not betray my culture and will treat it with honor. I will incorporate it into my everyday life.

I learned about the pros and cons of self-driving cars, and come to the conclusion that self-driving cars would be good for those with a disability but unnecessary as a luxury flex.
