Today in Human Geography, we remembered nine eleven, and the lives lost on nine eleven. Mr. Schick told us about his personal experience with nine eleven. he had just started teaching, and they were in back to school mass when the principle made the announcement that a jet had crashed into one of the world trade center’s then late the other world trade center, then the Pentagon, and finally the last one crashed into an open field because of the heroic acts of the civilian passengers on board. He later told us that even one of his student’s dads had had a meeting on nine eleven and didn't make it out alive, and they didn't even find his body until days later. After that discussion, we went over the material for the test on Tuesday, this will be my first high-school test. I am praying and thinking of the lives lost on nine eleven.

Today in Honors Human Geography we discussed six topics, Agora, Polis, The importance of the year 508 B.C. to the ancient Greeks, Socrates, and the death of Socrates.

Polis- "a city state in ancient Greece, especially as considered in its ideal form for philosophical purposes.", politics comes from polis, polis helped start the Democracy. The importance of the year 508 B.C. to the ancient Greeks and the rest of the world is that this is the first time ever in recorded history that the people revolt against their leader. Socrates, was a Greek philosopher, and a teacher. The death of Socrates- Socrates was on tr...

Today in Human Geography, we went over the start of our new unit, called Thinking Geographically. Then we went over a few key questions like How do geographers describe where things are? Why is each point on earth unique? Why are different places similar? Why are some actions unstable? After this we worked on a work sheet where we had to label all regions on a map of the world. Later today I have an away soccer game with my JV Soccer team against Calvert Hall High School. I hope our team does well both today, Friday, and on Saturday against Bel Air High School. We played our game against Calvert Hall and we lost 4-0. They scored 1 in the first half, towards the end of the second half they scored again then we put in our second string and they scored 2 more goals, winning the game by four points total.
