Monday- Microfinance

In class we talked pretty much alkl about microfinance. We watched a short power point explaining microfinance. Microfincancing can help people with small business or people who don't have access to a large bank get started. Micro loaning helps people with small buisnesses who get in trouble like having a natural disaster or something unexpected ,it can help them in relief. Micro finance is a great thing to help people overall.

Talking about microfinance and buisnesses

Today in class we talked about how micro loans/finances like kiva help small buisnesses and individuals in their daily lives It helps them pay off their loans, start a business, healthcare, or any unexpected crisis like sickness or a natural disaster. We also talked about how big buisnesses strangle out the small ones and we debated over whether it was right or not. We eventually came to the conclusion that it could not be answered and that sometimes small buisnesses turn into big ones, so other small ones die. So its a question that cannot be fully answered or completed

Tuesday

In class today we went over the test and some of the test scores were less than admirable. I feel I did ok though, considering I had no blog and did half the test without one, but still got an 80. Would've probably had an 81-84 if I had payed attention and wrote the country rather than the leader, and vice versa. So far this week has been ok, but long. I want the break to be here already and I'm growing restless for it.

Making decisions for a town

Today in class I got to decide on what to do for several issues regarding a town. We had to make choices like how to stop the malaria outbreak and several other things. We got a sheet to do in class and it was pretty easy so I finished about 75 percent of it. Im enjoying class so far and also please excuse any spelling or grammar mistakes as some of the keys on my keyboard is gone and its reall messing me up

Tuesday

Today in class we finish up the notes on the leaders. Near the end we were allowed to roam free before the second bell rung and we took some more notes on the leaders. So basically we did test prep for the day to try and prepare us for the test on the leaders. We didn't really do much that day so its a little hard for me to write about it.

Monday

We updated our blogs and I took notes
