  1. Hi Angelique. How is South Africa? It is such an opportunity to do all the stuff your doing like visiting Nelson Mandela’s prison cell.I looked at some of his quotes. The one that said “a winner is a dreamer who never gives up” popped out to me. I love that one so much because it is true. It takes a lot of practice to win and you cant give up during your practice. That’s a amazing quote.

I can’t think of what kind of mountain it is in the photograph . l think that it was so cool that you got to visit Nelson Mandela’s prison cell . I love his quote ”do not judge me by success, judge me by how many times I fell and got backup again” . We should use his quote every day because it teaches us a life lesson and it is very true.

  8. Hi Angelique. It is Billy. I think you are having an amazing in South Africa. Is your family doing good.

  9. Hi Angelique. it’s Helena. I hope you’re having a great time in South Africa.I found a quote from Nelson Mandela.Here it is “Difficulties break some men but make others.No axe is sharp enough to cut the soul of a sinner who keeps trying,one armed with hope that he will rise even in the end”.Hows your family doing?And I have a question.How did you get in Nelson Mandelas prison sell?And why does he have a prison sell?See you in January.

  10. Hi Angelique! It’s Charlotte. I hope you are having fun! Is the mountain called “Table Mountain? Table Mountain is a very historic landmark there, like The Statue of Liberty is to New York. My mom works for a company and they travel alot and sometimes to Cape Town. I have heard that when you go to the beach that there is a guy that sits high up on a hill and his job is to look through binoculars for the great white sharks that are in the ocean. If he sees a shark he uses his walkie-talkie to talk to the lifeguards and let them know about the sharks and then they sound a loud blowhorn on the beach so everyone gets out of the water. So are you afraid to swim in the ocean water there because of the sharks? Another cool thing I heard about the beach is that there are all kinds of penguins walking around. Is that very cool and can you walk up to them and pet them?
    It is cool that you were able to visit the prison cell of Nelson Mendela. I can’t believe he was was 60 years old before he went to prison! I read that he became very friendly with one of the prison guards. Did you meet any of the prison guards and I wonder if they were all friendly?
    We miss you in class but are very happy you are having such a great trip. We can’t wait until you come back. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in South Africa!

I thought the mountain looked sort of like a rectangle but it was high up so I thought “A table!”. I looked it up to make sure and there it was “Table Mountain”. Also, did you learn anything about Nelson Mandela while you went to his prison cell? This is one of his quotes ” It always seems impossible until it’s done.”, which it always seems that way to me, but once I accomplishment something I am super happy with myself! Can’t wait to see you so you can tell me more about your trip!

  22. Hi Angelique it is Michael. Nelson Mandela has a lesson for everyone. A famous quote from him is, “I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination “This means that he wants everyone to have the same amount of control over South Africa. Hope your having fun and I can’t wait to hear more about your trip.

    Michael
