how do you think the culture exchange project went?

I think that the project was very good. Even though i didnt do the most participation ever i still learned about people from all the different places we talked to. Something i disliked about it was that we had chosen topics i think it would have been much easier for us to have our own topics. This way i think we would have found out more about each other.

what did i do this summer.

I did many things this summer. At the begging of summer i went to strength and speed camp for school. Then i went to birch bay and seattle washington by myself for a week. After that i went with my best freind david to galveston and had a blast. Finally i sat at home playing xbox for a week.

Illegal immigrants in my country

In my country there are many cases of illegal immigration, mostly from mexico some from canada and other places around the world. These people come to our country to find jobs and provide for their poor and starving families or to pass drugs along the border. Our country deals with these people by deporting them or kicking them out.

my school

I go to anderson high school, it is a very big school compared to my middle school. it haas aroung 2200people as my middle school only had 125 people total. we have many sports and clubs avalaible at my school like chess club and football or basketball and computer club.

terrorist ttacks

Yes the united states of america does have terrorist attacks many have been from people in the middle east, yet we have had some from here in our own country there is one main one that i am thinking of and that mans name is timothy mcVeigh. He blew up the Oklahoma City government building in the mid 90's.

favorite places in my country

My favorite place in my country would have to be birch bay, Washington. I like it so much because it is like a getaway from the realworld. it gives you time to think about life and enjoy the calm relaxtion there. It also is very fun to go there because it has an amazing fourth of july firework show.

Diversity

does your country have diverse populations? How does or does not your country promote understanding among people from different backgrounds?

Yes my country does have diverse populations. The United states promotes understanding between different backrounds by having different enviroments to do it in. For example in many big cities there are usually china towns where a large amount of asian people live. Also in big cities there are many areas where Hispanics live. In all of these places they usually have advirtisments or stores with there own cultures writing or food or much more.
