SUTTON HOO

Sutton Hoo is an archaeological site where a sepulchral ship was found with the remains of Redwald, a British sovereign. Within the tombs there were treasures that were very important because there were not many documents of the Middle Ages in England. Gold armor, precious gemstones, a ceremonial helmet, 37 gold coins, and other items were found and they make us understand how England was the protagonist of the history and politics of that time. Sutton Hoo was further studied and another cemetery was found and there condemned to death were buried.

MY HERO, MY MOM

If I have to think about a person who is an hero, I think about my mom. I know that sometimes seems like I don't appreciate what she does, but I can only admire her. She works six days for week but she's able to be present every single moment of my life and to help me if I need some help, and if I think what she does for us at home I could say that she works every day of the week. My mom is the most determined and strong woman I know and it's thanks to her if today I am who I am, because I consider myself independent, determined, strong and selfconfident, just like my mom.
