7th Topic - A Place To Go

If I had to go to a foreign place that we have studied this year it would have to be Fiji or one of the other Pacific islands. I would go there for a number of reasons including culture and the physical attributes. As I learned, these countries are made up of rainforest's and coral reefs, both have been fascinating to me since I was very young. Along with there culture, its a mixture of undiscovered and not understood land. The culture is, within its self, is a wonder to those who in counter it. As I read in one of the articles I used to complete my Fiji project, I found out that the first settlers were in confusion when the native tribes welcomed them with gifts and ceremonies. It is said that some of the island people are among the nicest in the world. Its also the fact that there culture is so old, that intrigues me. Its the discipline that these people have to pass down what they know and what they have learned to future generations, and that the "little ones" care and respect the elders. This maybe due to them not seeing other cultures, but even though you see it every so often in today's society its not like the respect in other places. These people also live one with nature. They respect the habitat that there in and care for it. I want to grow to be a marine biologist and to here about a place where the water is so clear do to no pollutants, it seems unreal.

This last week I got to go on a Biology feild-trip with all of the Pre-AP classes. It was alot of fun to be with all my friends and learning something to. I think that I will propbably do service out at the glass bottom boats place. It seems to be a great place to be and experience the unique wildlife. I have 2 soccer games this weekend, against Lady Lions and Classic Elite. Both should be good games, although one of is a 530 game on sunday in San Antoino!!! The soccer board has officaily lost their minds. Its wonderful to do homework in the car! This just so happens to be my last blog ever so if I live through this weekend and next week I wont be able to tellso....peace out girl scouts and wish me luck.
