On Friday, it was just a regular normal day. I went to Wawa and got some coffee to make me even more happy that it was Friday. After that it was just another boring day. Sitting in classes… listening to the same old lessons. That was until I got to human geo. My mind was completely blown away. I had found out that the map of the world I have been looking at my whole life… the map of the world I have been taught to know well was actually completely wrong. Like are you believing this right now. Of course I didn’t at first. I had thought that my teacher was absolutely crazy! But It turns out my teacher was telling us the truth. The map of the world is wrong. So it turns out that a long time ago for sailors created a map to make it easier to find there way through the sea. So they made a bunch of continents smaller. Such as Africa. Africa is huge compared to North America. But was changed for the sailing reason. After today I don’t know who to trust.

Today in human geo we talked all class about this extra credit thing that could give us 5 to 15 points if we complete this with a 100 percent. But Mr. Schick, my teacher introduced us to this website called Kiva. On this site, it’s kind of like a go fund me page but it helps people in need. On this site, it shows people who need help with their lives. Here the people say the amount they need and you can have the choice to lend them money.   site it’s kind of like a go fund me page but it helps people in need. On this site, it shows people who need help with their lives. Here the people say the amount they need and you can have the choice to lend them money. You can lend as much money as you want. And you will always be paid back the amount you lent. But as we were looking and exploring this site it made me sad when people only had a few hours and they were so close to their final amount! Because when people don’t make their goal they have to restart!! But I do ...

Today in Human Geo I walk in on Hugh and Logan drawing on the board. I decided to join them and draw me as an angel that says GGMAMA next to it because the holidays are coming fast. ONLY 26 DAYS. TILL CHRISTMAS!!! If that doesn’t put a smile on your face I have no idea what will. But today in Human Geo the that the beautiful artwork I had crafted on the board we took more notes on the population pyramids. MORE NOTES. Although we have been learning about these for quite a few classes I did actually learn something new that wasn’t taught in any other class. I learned that building factories can increase the population. Cause you think about all the people who leave one place to come where the factories are to work. Which will make the population grow in that one area. That’s something new I have learned!!!

Today in human geo we watched a video on Hans Rosling who taught all about global health. He likes to show his education in both enjoyment and understanding.   Through the video he discussed his version of the population pyramid so people can both enjoy and understand. He showed us his version of a population pyramid where it shows if countries are rich and healthy or poor and sick. Lifespan starts from 25 years to 75 years old. And the income starts from 400 to 40000 dollars. During the year 1810 all countries were mostly under ages 50 and at 400 dollars. Which was extremely unhealthy and poor. On the graph Europe was brown, Asia was red, the middle east was green, the sub-Saharan Africa is blue and last but NOT LEAST… America is yellow! As the dates go one from 1810 is when America, Europe and the middle east went up. This increase came from the industrial revolution. Not only did it create a rich country but increased the population and made it more healthie...
