Call to Action Day

On Tuesday October 10th I went on a truly eye opening experience. It felt great just to be able to give back to the community and spend time with the 5th graders. I had forgotten what it really felt like to help others out. Im so glad it was with these kids too, because I feel like I can relate to when I was in elementary school. I hope we gave them good examples to look up to and gave them hope and motivation. It made me want to work harder and set a better example not just for these kids but for all of the little ones that are in my family that look up to me.
One of my favorite moments was at the end when we had to say goodbye to the kids. Alonso gave me and my partners like four hugs and he said he did not want to leave us. I feel we really had an impact on him. The teacher also came up to us and thanked us because she said that he did not really get a long well with others. After I learned that it made me really happy and it made the whole trip a thousand times better. I really hope we get to do another activity with them.

Chapter 9

The beginning of this chapter was really interesting because learning about Hassan and how he was Christian and Muslim that was very interesting to me, I had no idea you could do that. One of the most interesting things about his chapter was how the religion was started. It not only was the religion it was an empire at the same time. Unlike other religions they had the man power to go to war with other regions. They grew simultaneously as a religion and as an empire. It was the largest and most influential third wave civilization. Islamic civilization challenged and provoked Christendom, transformed by African cultures, and took root in India, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia. The spread continued to the modern era by 2013 1.6 billion people followed it which was 23% of the population. Now if that doesn't tell you something I do not know what will.. Another thing that was intriguing was how it changed how the people lived. they went rom being nomadic Arabs (Bedouins)  to a settle

Reading #4(Chapter 3)

In this reading I really got to see how different all of the civilizations were. Starting out with the Persian empire we saw a gigantic empire that had millions in it population. We saw how to conquered a lot of land. What was really surprising however was how they were really nice towards the people they took over, they would still let them practice their religions. One thing about them was they had one leader and that leader got the upmost respect and power. He was feared so he could do anything. Next we saw the Greek empire which was very different from the Persian empire. First it was different in size, the Greek empire was only 5 or 6 million. Another major thing was the government, instead of having on ruler the Greek empire operated in smaller but more city states. What was crazy was when these two clashed and the Greek empires being the underdog was able to defeat the Persians. Now we couldn't talk about civilizations without talking about the Roman Empire. Which really wen
