Today in Human geography class, we discussed more on the topic of immigration and population. We looked at 3 different types of population pyramids. There is the tree, box, and cup. The U.S. is seen as the box because the number of people alive during childhood and elders is about the same. An example of the cup would be Japan. Japan is also known for kids dying younger and elders dving longer. Besides this, we discussed part of of Mr. Schick's life before he somehow became a teacher. I know I've probably said this before in an earlier post, but the job you had, is really what i what to do when I am older. It amazes me how you got to do that!

I want to be famous someday and sometimes question whether or not I have it in me and doubt. So I kinda look up to you in that way:) Great class discussion looking forward to more!
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 afte...
