One aspect of my country that makes me particularly proud is the benefits enjoyed by the children in our multicultural environment. During the last several years, the Turks and Caicos has experienced extreme rapid growth, both in the development of land, and the development of population that is quite large for the size of the country. Twenty years ago the population here was approximately 5000 people, now the population is approximately 40,000 people from over 66 countries. These people have migrated here from all over the world. This has lead to a population of children who have been influenced by many different cultures and languages. It is not uncommon for the children here to speak two to three different languages, some speak more. Three of the most spoken languages here in the Turks and Caicos besides English, are French, Spanish, and Creole.
UNEARTHED FACT: I am proud to say I have snorkelled in our turquoise waters with hammerhead sharks.
I SAY: The biggest thing to fear in life is fear itself is absolutely true.
