Before we get started with today's fun post, let me first reveal the lie from yesterday's post! Here were your choices: 1. I know how to speak Swahili. 2. I've been to three Olympic Games, (as a fan. i have no secret talent on the Olympian level.) one Summer and two Winters. 3. I know how to shoot a bow like Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss in The Hunger Games. And the lie is.... #2! Sadly, I have not made it to any Olympic Games so far in my life as competitor or fan. haha Hujambo! Jina langu ni Jessica na ninasema Kiswahili. Ninatoka Alabama na ninapenda kahawa na kusafiri. Translation: Hello! My name is Jessica and I speak Swahili. I am from Alabama and I love coffee and to travel. I took Swahili in college with my roommate when my major was International Studies. We chose our focal area to study and we both chose Africa, therefore, we got to learn Swahili. It was one of the coolest things ever and I love languages, so it was perfect. I got into archery when I was in high school and absolutely love it. It is such a fun sport and was something my Dad and I did together often. Sadly, we both haven't picked up a bow in awhile. This is also another reason why this place is called Polished Arrow. I absolutely LOVED this link-up and getting to know more about you guys!
