What I have learned this first semester!

This semester in World History has been a blast! I have learned a lot about things i didn't know at the beginning of the year. I like that we studied Afghanistan, because I am more into things that are actually happening then things that happened a long time ago. I was more interested in learning about infantality rates in Afghanistan. To be completely honest before this year, I wasnt really into the news and stuff like that. I could have cared less about what was going on in the wold. Afwul, I know. After this semester, I have acutally starting reading the news paper and have begun to be more aware of issues going on in other countries. I learned something about myself too. That I am blessed, to be living the life I am living, and being with the people I am with. There are people around the world who would kill to have the life I have. I am blessed to be able to go to school, and get an education, instead of being locked in a house all day ( like in afghanistan).Girls my age now, are already married in Afghanistan , most even pregnant. I couldn't even begin to imagine myself married right now, let alone even be pregnant! I am just very thankful that the things we have studied this semester have opened my eyes to these things. And have made me realize what I need to be thankful for. Thanks a million.:)
