RE International Festival 2019

I go to Roberts Elementary (the best school in the world) in Houston, Texas. Every year, we have an International Festival (the best event in the world) where different countries set up booths and have games and samples of their native foods. 

This year I performed a semi- classical Indian dance. It gives me an opportunity to showcase my skills and share my culture with my friends. When I perform solo, I get much more confidence and I’m ready to perform solo on other occasions.

The International Festival helps me understand how other cultures work, why they’re important, and how I can tie in with it. It broadens  my perspective of worlds I’ve never traveled to.

The International Festival is about being open minded and respecting other people’s opinions and cultures. That is one of the reasons my family goes to the International Festival at Roberts.

This year we had 30 countries being represented and tons of volunteer parents and staff.
