Norway
There’s only one way,and that’s norway
Do I really want to experience and explore the land of the midnight sun? And will I be a good ambassador for South Africa? Read this essay and enjoy my excitement, my craving for not only to learn knowledge but to share knowledge. I am positive that at the end of this essay the answer will be ‘’ýebo yes!’’
Last December my parent gave me the opportunity and the privilege to explore the culture, historical buildings, language, food and snow in 7 different countries. I was so overwhelmed by the experience that it felt like I’ve been enrolled by the world university. I am now hungry and anxious to experience more and more, and as a proud and loyal South African I have the urge to tell foreigners about our beautiful country and its rich history and colourful rainbow nation, and to encourage the Norwegians to visit our country which will help with economic growth. As my imagination runs wild I already picture myself eating lutefisk, watching them celebrate constitution day wearing their traditional clothing, hearing the people greet each other with ‘’god dag’’experiencing the northern lights, meeting the Sami people and maybe just maybe I’ll meet a troll along the way. What I admire the most about Norway is the fact that all their education is free which give everyone an equal opportunity for a good education, even the poor.
As a friendly, jolly, enthusiastic, indapendent, easy adaptable, diplomatic, honest and goal orientated individual. I believe that you won’t regret choosing me to represent South Africa in Norway. So for me there is only one way, and
that’s

    In 1916 James Wickersham, Alaska's non-voting delegate to Congress, introduced the first bill that proposed Alaska’s Statehood to Congress. Like many past attempts, the bill gathered virtually no support. In 1955, the territorial legislature passed legislation permitting a constitutional convention. Alaskan voters elected fifty-five delegates from across the territory. They met at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks in November 1955 to write a constitution for the proposed state. Alaskans voted approval of the constitution in April 1956. The new constitution was set to take effect when and if Congress granted statehood for Alaska. Efforts finally paid off in 1958 when Congress approved statehood for Alaska. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Alaska Statehood Bill into law on July 7, 1958. Alaskans accepted statehood as presented in the federal law the following month and elected their first state officials in November.…

    According to the Norse Mythology the Ginnungagap was the begging of the universe emptiness/endless spaces, there wasn’t anything full darkness. There were two lands Muspellheim the land of fir and there lived the Surt, and Niflhiem land of the ice. Latter on they connected together and created the giant Ymir and somewhere else Andhumbla which was pure a cow. The cow fed of the ice and created or came out Buri the god. This part of the Norse Mythology I believe it’s true because if you think about it Unversed was empty when it begin there was no building or what not. Far as my understanding fire, water and air where the first elements on earth and as they connect created rock, land, plants to the point where human begin able to live, but the cow Andhumbla and giant Ymir I don’t have any understanding how human came but I guess where myth has its own view of how human begin came to be.…
