    well im from honduras and i hope that people keep helping to recognize our beautiful beloved honduras that not many people recognize.
    its not about being famous its about remember where youcame from and where your memories as a young child are and where most of your family is from…ive been in the united states for a while now and ive meet a few honduran that maybe someday they will make their country proud and show them what we are
