Human Geo

Today in Human Geo I got my test back and I learned a little bit about Chris Columbus and that he was not the first person to discover the Americas. The vikings were when they were trying to go to Greenland and when they got caught in storms, high winds, and fog, they accidentally discovered the Americas. I find it a little insulting to find out that we were discovered by an accident or non-intentionally. They found Greenland eventually. Also I got a 97 on the test which never happens. I misspelled Pittsburgh which stunk because I hear them so often. I am not a ravens fan but I still hear Pittsburgh so much it makes me sick. I don't even care because I am a Redskins fan. I hope I spelled Pittsburgh right this time.

Today in Human Geo we were making ideas to help the people in Sudan. I think that we should do a couple things. The first would be bring in Jon Bual to talk about the issues in Sudan in front of the entire school so that everyone could know about this war that will not stop. Then we need to take action by taking home flyers so that our family and friends can know about this. Then we bring in money and supplies that I will list below. Then send it to Sudan through Jon Bual's foundations name.

Things we can bring in

Money            Pillows             Canned food             Blankets            School Supplies      Clothes      

Soap              Lots of water        Toys           Candy            Sports Supplies and stuff like that.

Once we do this we can say that we helped the people in Sudan. We have 800 students at this school, if we can raise 100 dollars a piece then that would be 80,000 dollars and how much that is in Sudan would make it worth much more and that could do the trick to build hospitals or schools there.

Today in human geo we finished the video on the lost boys. It was incredable how they came from not knowing how to eat a potato chip to finding there lost family members and owning organization to help build schools and medical hospitals in there home country. Jon became the president of the lost boys and he helps to get these people together in get togethers. I thought that it was very funny when Jon's mother can to the USA and was singing her song and making that epic noise. They have degrees and money to give back ti there homeland. I would honestly not have expected them to be as a smash hit as they are now.

Today in human geo, we continued the video on the boys from Sudan. They were coming to America to finally get away from the so called prison that they were in for over 10 years. They were sad but excited for a new life in America. They did not understand some of the items that Americans use and eat. This one guy ate butter. One ate mayo out if the packet. One used shaving cream for lotion. They are having troubles in the USA but they are doing it to make their country proud. They want to help them as much as they can. I can't wait to see them be successful and have great jobs and have a happy life.

Today in human geo we reviewed the quiz, I did okay, I got just lower than a B. I made some  dumb mistakes. I wish I reviewed it more and then I would have gotten a better score. But its okay because I will do better next time and everyone slips up once and a while. My grade should still be a B so its fine. We continued the movie on the boys leaving Sudan. I thought they would be happy but I was very wrong because they feel that it is prison and they want to move back to Sudan ASAP. They don't get feed that much, more than in Sudan and their way to Kenya but not enough to be more happy. They also have big .  meetings to kill time. They don't know where there parents are so that is sad. It sounds like all they want is to move back to Sudan.



The End

Human Geo

Today in human geo, I took a test and it was fairly easy and understandable. It was very clear and that is something that not all tests have. I like how it was not on scan tron because I can not stand those. We also watched a video on how the people from Sudan were leaving their country. That was very sad. I could not believe how unhealthily they looked and they looked so sad and I felt it. I must have been the worst life experience they will ever encounter. They were drinking their own urine which is discussing but it was what they had to do to survive. They ate mud and they had to go through Sudan twice because they got kicked out of Ethiopia. They finally settled in Kenya which they now get fed and taken care of by the United Nations.   

Human Geo

Today in Human Geo I learned about Germany, Nigeria, and Indonesia. Indonesia is a great place to find natural resources like gold which is very valuable. Other than that they are not the best country to live in because the overall poverty and natural disasters. Nigeria is very poor and the population is the highest in all of Africa. They can't even handle there own population and they keep having babies and some of them can not live to the age of one. There is nothing that positive about the country and the people have no where to go so they have to stay because there is no money. They also have a lot of diseases that kill people. In Germany people are making good money and the country is already developed. There is a lot of Muslims that are moving there that want to set up churches but Germany will not let that happen.

The End.
