Women Getting the Right to Vote
One big problem we had for women was that they couldn't vote. Beginning in the 19th century women started working very hard to get their rights for voting.

When I Lived in Guatemala
One very important part of my life was living in Guatemala. When we lived in Guatemala we helped give food and many other things to orphanages in need. We also went to talk about god to these orphanages. We finally moved back to Pennsylvania after we lived in Guatemala for a year. This was a very important part of my life because we were helping people and also because we were helping save peoples lives.
