The Symbole of the month of februray as always been for me Valentines day, but doing my research for our magazine, I discover that so many things happen in that month, so many celabrations around the world.
The black history remeind me of all those first black Americans who have been pioneering achievements in their fields. With talent and determination, each one has reinvented not only what it means to be an African American, but also what it means to be an American like:
Guion Bluford First African-American astronaut to launch into space, in 1983,
Dr. Mae Jemison First black woman astronaut to launch into space, in 1992.
Madam C. J. Walker First self-made African American woman millionaire.
Jackie Robinson First black major league baseball player, in 1947, and first black player elected to Baseball Hall of Fame, in 1962. to name a few.
I'm proud to live in a time where color, race or gender are not important anymore and where everyone have the same chance of succes and I canot forgot what a long way and how many sacrifices have been made to arrived at that level.
Februry is also the shortest month and the only month with fewer than 30 days. The month has 28 days in common years or 29 days in leap years.
We are happy to celebrate all the lovers of the world on Valentines day and we will try to give you some ideas about what to do that day with you loved one.
And don't forget to care about yourself and others and to say "I love you" to your close ones.

The symbol of the month of February for me has always been Valentines Day, but doing my research for our magazine, I discovered that so many things happen this month- so many celebrations around the world.
February marks the annual celebration of black history month. This reminds me of all the first black Americans who have made pioneering achievements in their fields. With talent and determination, each one has reinvented not only what it means to be an African American, but also what it means to be an American. Here are just a few. In 1983, Guion Bluford became the first African American astronaut to launch into space, and in 1992 Dr. Mae Jemison was the first black woman astronaut to accomplish the task. Madam C. J. Walker was he first self-made African American woman millionaire! Jackie Robinson was celebrated as the first black major league baseball player in 1947, and first black player elected to Baseball Hall of Fame, in 1962.
I'm proud to live in a time where we are not solely defined by color, race or gender, where everyone has the same chance for success. I cannot forget what a long way and how many sacrifices have been made to get there.
February is also the shortest month of the year and the only month with fewer than 30 days. If you live in the Northeast like me, we’re grateful for only 28 bitter cold days!
On February 14th,we are happy to celebrate all the lovers of the world on Valentines Day.
Valentine's Day is the day to celebrate love. I think personally that every day we are supposed to celebrate love. Busy and tired, we very often forget to leave a space for it. It is not given to everyone the chance to love each other for life, 10 years, 10 months or 10 seconds, the time frame is not important: LOVE is. We cannot celebrate love without having a thought for Fred Stobaugh, what an example of LOVE
In the “month of love”, don't forget to care for yourself and others and to say, "I love you" to the ones you hold dearest.
