Map Test

This week in World Geography, our maps on East Asia were due. Today we had to take a test on it and I think I got a fairly good grade. I felt very confident in what I was doing and I think I will get a 100 on this test. Thanks to the test I now know major physical and political features on East Asia.

The things that I will be looking forward to do next year is that I will be getting new teachers and with new teachers come new subjects to learn. Also next year I will be on the Junior Varsity football team. Junior Varsity is composed of Sophmore and Jr teams. And of course, with a new year come new friends. I CAN'T WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR!!!!!!!

One Child Policy

This week in World Geography we are learning on a one child policy that China has established. We are soon going to have a socratic seminar on it. We will discuss all issues over the policy. The only thing different will be that the Socratic Seminar will be online instead of in class.

My plans for summer vacation is that I will try to get a job. Not many jobs accept 15 year olds but its worth a try in order to bring home the bacon. I will most likely try to find something that I like doing, but if nothing works out, then I will work at McDonald's.

East Asia Maps

This week in World Geography we have began a new unit. We are now learning about East Asia. We have started on our political and physical maps for this section. I'm almost done with mine and I think that these maps are going to be the best looking maps I have done this year.


As you may know from my last blog, out of all the place we have learned about, my number one place to go to would be Venice. The second best place to go to would be South America. I would go to one of the tropical places surrounded by water, such as Costa Rica. I would like to visit its beaches and its tourists attractions.

Asian Meals

This week in Geography we had a project due about Asian Meals. We had to find 3 recipes consisting of 1 Main Dish, 1 Side Dish, and 1 Dessert. We were assinged different asian geographic regions such as South Asia, Southeast Asia, East Asia, and so on. Then, the day after the project was due, we had a meal party. We cooked the different foods from each region and shared it in class. It was a fun experience because i got to taste the different types of food found in Asia.


Out of all of the places we learned about this year, I would like to visit Venice, Italy found in Europe. I like venice because I like that all of Venice is pretty much water. There are basically no streets because the streets are water canals. Not to be all gushy mushy, but I think that Venice is a really romantic place and I think that Venice would be a really great experience for me.

Mount Everest Video

This week in Geography we watched a movie about Mount Everest. It was about these groups of climbers getting together and planing to climb Mount Everest. As you may know, Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world. The group started climbing and as they got higher and higher, storms and strong winds made the climbing more challenging. Many people ended up dying on the expedition and only a few people made it to the top.

When I grow up, my first decision would be to become a doctor. If that doesn't work out, I would like to do something productive like becoming a engineer. I'm not shure what kind of engineer but I would like to do it. I like working with my hands and I've always loved fixing things and building them.

Religion Seminar

This week in Geography we learned about the different religions found in the middle east. We had a seminar at school and representatives from varous religions came to tell us more about their own religion. There were Buddhist, Hinduism, Judaism, Muslim, and Christian representatives. They all belive that there is only one God, but some of them follow the teachings of a certain person. It was a really interesting experience and I learned a lot.

What I want to be when I grow up is many things. Mainly I want to be a Doctor. I think that medicine is really interesting and I like saving others, plus it pays a lot of money. I want to be a Doctor in a hospital, but Im not shure what I will specialize in. Being a Doctor would be my number one choice when I grow up.

Mount Everest

This week in World Geography we are starting to learn about Mount Everest. Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world and many people try to climb it. The journey is a long and difficult journey which challenges you mentaly and physically. People who succesfully climb the mountain usually come back with no fingers or something missing. Many people die trying to climb the Mountain.

Something interesting that happened in my life is that 2 weeks ago me and my brother were skipping rocks in the lake. He got a rock and threw it as hard as he could into the lake, but I accidentaly got in the way and the rock hit me right in the eye. So far I have no center vision, but I still have peripheral vision. I can't see strait ahead but I can see the sides. And today I discovered that I am seeing things again. I can see figures and outlines. I thank God that my eye is getting better.
