Reflection

I chose to my do project on India for a few reasons. My first reason is because my name is India and I wanted to explore more on the country I’m named after. The second reason why I chose to India is because their cultures and traditions are respected and formal. The last reason why is because India is always portrayed as something else. India is a place that I would love to travel to in the future.
