When I made up my mind to attend John Carroll, I expected to be that little freshman girl who is constantly getting lost, doesn't know how to use her computer, and knows just about no one. They keep telling me to get involved in clubs and sports (which seems like I'm doing pretty well at that). It's now day two and I already feel apart of the school. I was scared I wouldn't be able to keep up with my work and do all the things I wanted, but I believe that John Carroll is the type of school welcoming you to try hundreds of new things out, while still working around your schedule. It really is going to be a family! I went to Perryville Middle School, so I don't know anyone from schools in Harford County except for my friends from gymnastics. So meeting knew people is definitely going to be harder, but the people I've had the pleasure of meeting so far all seem really nice. Because John Carroll is so welcoming to different schools, I'm in the same boat as a lot of people. There are people here from schools that I've never even heard of who probably know no one too. Another way that I found is helpful to meeting knew people is doing the sports, or musicals, and clubs. Today I auditioned to be a dancer for "Grease.'' Of course like everyone I was nervous, but knowing that we were all doing the same thing took the fear away. It ended up going really well! I'm also doing cheerleading for my fall sport, which is also a fun way to be involved with the school. I really think I'm going to love this school even more as I continue my high school experience.

For today's human geography blog I'd like to start out by saying something I wish I would have spoke up in class today. The question was what is the right and wrong thing to do when a customer comes to you for a wedding cake for two males on top? Do you make it or not? It really upset me when my classmates didn't say anything as if it was okay, but then it occurred to me that I wasn't saying anything about the matter either. I soon regretted not speaking my opinions on the matter to create more class discussion. First, I'd like to begin by making my opinions on gay, lesbians, and bi relationships. To me it doesn't matter your religion, or what your parents say on the matter, you can think whatever you want on what is right and wrong to this topic. Your parents shouldn't influence your decision or what the bible says. Also I don't know why people make such a big deal about this as well. It's fine if they don't support it, but they also don't h...

Research Kiva.org . Describe your findings, such as their goals, methods, efficiency, and reputation. Research potential borrowers. Find at least two borrowers and describe their business, their reasons for wanting a microloan, their past history, etc. Look at the big picture. Check out the city and country they live in, and describe what effect their location has on their need to borrow. Write your findings in an essay and post it to your blog. This should be a well-written, informative, and possibly inspirational essay that shows how much you have learned about developing nations, poverty throughout the world, and ways of dealing with this difficult situation. Kiva.org is a site that is used by about a million people who lend money to those in need. When you go onto the cite, you will find different profiles on some one or a group of people and a biography of why they want the money you might be willing to lend to them. This cite seems to work very efficiently as y...

I'd like to begin saying that I successfully emailed my blog to you last night. I've never been too great with technology, so that was a plus. Secondly, I can't tell you how interested I am in your class already. In my old school, we didn't have human geography but just social studies where we covered the basics like wars and how the people of that time lived. So I hope to expand that topic and learn of different times of different people. I say I'm already interested because of the little speech you gave us today. It's so true. The conflict with our generation so far, is how people think so strongly of their opinion that they can't even stop to listen to someone who thinks differently than them. It's the same way when someone is different from them. This often happens when it comes to people being gay/lesbian or transgender. As well as religion and politics. I feel that if everyone just stopped once in a while, and saw from one another's point of vi...
