subject in history

I was born Tania Alisa Cox, on March 22, 1990. During my lifetime, many historical events have taken place, the vast majority of which I am unaware. What I do remember, is that as a child, there was a panic going on about the coming of the new millennium. They Y2K craze swept the nation and everyone was anxiously waiting the year 2000 to see if the whole world would plunge into chaos because of computer problems. I was in fourth grade at the time, and people around me were stocking up on all kinds of items to prepare for the end of the world. I learned that hysteria is quite contagious. I also remember the D.C sniper who went around shooting people at random. I have lived in two countries, on two continents.
I was born in Georgetown, Guyana and I lived in a few cities there until I moved to America. I have only lived in the state of Maryland while I have been here in the US. Maryland is known for its crabs, Baltimore, and the DC sniper. Guyana is probably most known for the Jonestown tradgedy where followers of a cult drank poisoned Kool-Aid in a mass murder/suicide. The British ruled Guyana before they received independence and has European influences from England and Portugal. I think the most significant set of events in the current historical moment are the events that are going in the Middle East. The wars and the fighting will have consequences that will affect many people for a very long time. I do not see myself in action in relation to those events. I simply exist at a time of turmoil and instability in the Middle East. I see a lot of problems in the future where the Middle East is concerned, and where America is concerned. I have never worked with others for important change.
