I created several functions that allowed for the

creation of a scene in turtle.
I also create a function that allowd the turtle to race.

An emotion I had when doing this project was a sense of happiness that I know enough to complete this project.
I am at a very basic level, but I was able to complete and utilize python docs in order to complete.
I know that the code is fairly sloppy due to my lack of knowledge, but im happy with it as a beginner.
