Multiculturalism, diversity and unity are characteristics that make our country, connected. This video truly captured my eye, as I hope it does to you, because it shows that no matter what race, ethnic background and person you are, you can learn to do anything.

On this boat trip, I visited the world famous Spirit Island, debatably one of most photographed islands in the world. The day we went happened to be extremely cold and foggy. We experienced everything from…
