Greta Thunberg

Today I received the Prix Liberté in Normandie, France. Here is a part from my speech:

“Yesterday I spent the day with the D-day veteran Charles Norman Shay at Omaha beach. It was a day I will never forget. Not only because of the unimaginable bravery and sacrifices made by those who gave their lives to defend the freedom and democracy of the world. But also because they managed to do the seemingly impossible possible.

I think the least we can do to honour them is to stop destroying that same world that Charles, Léon and their friends and colleagues fought so hard to save for us.

We owe it them.

We owe it to the future generations.

We owe it to ourselves.”

So honoured and grateful to receive this prize!

Hey I'm not dead! History kicked me in the face so I had very little time to post anything on any social media site. But now that History Day is over, I can finally focus on schoolwork full time again! Track and Field is also starting so I'm super pumped! So, I'm annotating "The Devastation Of The Indies: A Brief Account." by Bartolomé de Las Casas for AP World History before I go to bed. My friend @ambroro decorated my daily spread and I love it so much! (Go follow her, she's awesome. Much aesthetic. Such minimalistic spreads. Wow.) Self care: I got to sing a lot today and it was amazing. Song I Just Listened To: Toulouse by Nicky Romero
