MATT's PAGE

My life of geography. Throughout my life I have lived mostly in Iowa. Some of the places I have lived at include: Gilman, Newton, Marshalltown, Des Moines, And our very own Conrad. Some of the places I have visited include: South Dakota, Nebraska, Indianna, and Illinois. The most memorable trip was South Dakota when I visited my Uncle Greg. He showed me the falls they have over there and it was pretty sweet. Though I was disappointed because I couldn't see Mount Rushmore. I rarely like being inside unless there are video games, but when I get bored of them I go outside for walks or little explorations. All this includes my travels through out the U.S. and Towns.

South America Reflection Throughout this project I have learned that South America can use a lot of help. We planned to try and help them by pursuading them to cut down the coca and start planting sugar cane. The ways we did this is by looking up the standards and use what we learned to complete this process. The role that I played in the South American project was little. I did look up things but I'm not very good at it. I could have interacted more with the group and be more cooperative. I can do things to improve on the project to get things done. Communicating is useful in projects like this and I need to do it more.

Middle East Reflection This project was meant to teach American workers over in the middle east about what customs, religion, and really just things to do and not to do when you are over there. We made a keynote telling about the people of the Middle East to help the communication between Americans and their people. We described their religion, beliefs, and things that are not offensive so American workers and the security guards could interact with them and not offend the people.
