Today in class you surprised me with a pop quiz that I was not very happy about. I hope I passed it. I wasn't ready at all. As Iv'e mentioned in recent blogs, I know very little on geography. I don't even know where Siberia or Brazil are and I defintily don't know what kind of people there are. But i'm not so worried about that, because I believe that you can't really know anything about a different place in the world unless you have actually been able to go there and experience it. I hope I am fortunate to travel the world someday. But because I probably won't be able to see the whole thing, I'd at least like to go somewhere out of the country! It's funny because most people who have a lot of money spend it on nice things. Nice things are nice, but I would use the money in a more beneficial way for myself. I guess some people just don't understand that a big part of our life is learning and discovering new things. That's why we are here after all. So...next time you hint that we might have a pop quiz coming up, I'll expect it to be the next day!

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...

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...

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...
