My connections!!!!!
I wanted to learn about South Carolina because of a YouTuber I have watched for many years now, her name is Illymation. She came from South Carolina and was talking about it in a few of her videos. I enjoyed learning about South Carolina also because it reminds me of how passionate I am about learning about new states! My favorite fact that I learned was: South Carolina produces the most peaches, around 3x more than Georgia! That's impressive! I would LOVE to visit South Carolina one day, but uhh I don't think I can, but why I would, IT SOUNDS SO FUN!!!! ♥️
