To Travel the world


We all one want to do it sometime in are life, Travel to a distance land with exotic foods and places. I plan to research and find out the best places to travel in Europe, Asia and South America. First trimester we will cover Europe. Some Facts that i found about Europe that i found Interesting. The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France. The tallest Ferris wheel in the world is found in England. (These facts were found at http://www.infobarrel.com/20_Interesting_or_Fun_Facts_about_Europe) The first country we will start with is Italy.

Italy is the place where the renaissance began, this is because the Italians where surround by old world culture and did not get hit by the plague as hard as the rest of Europe. Italy was originally divided into city states. The big ones where, Venice, Papal States, Florence, Milan, Sicily. These will be the places we look at Florence, Venice, Rome (Papal states), Milan, and Sicily.

HI!!!


HI, My name is Katie and this is my blog. I plan to try and make very serous and thoughtful post but I don’t know how long that will last. I am a very happy and random person so my post might follow a little bit of a random thought line but they will still have reason. Things you need to know about me are that imp sixteen, my birthday is on Halloween and also I read a lot when I have free time. Sad things I don’t have very much free time right now.

For after school I have a lot with swimming, homework, theater tech and more swimming, I don’t see a lot of day light. I’m a varsity swimmer and my favorite event is the 500. Now I also build stages and help backstage for theater this is known as theater tech. I’m very excited to build the play time poopy set because it is the little mermaid and she is one of my favorite Disney princesses

What is in a name?


"what is in a name? That which we call a rose by another name smells just as sweet." this said by Juliet in the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. (found at http://www.enotes.com/shakespeare-quotes/what-s-name-that-which-we-call-rose) this statement asks if a name really defines a person for she is in love with a family enemy.

Now with a beginning of a new school year, we are telling are to are teacher every class. Most will tell you "they aren't very good with names." this means that if you don't talk in class they might forget you’re in the class after taking attendance.

On the other hand with a name at the beginning of a new school year you can give each teacher a different way of calling you, from Katie to Kate then Kathryn finally to Fergie. Your name to you might be just a way to know that someone is talking to you. Personally I like my name and I feel like it fit who I am. this is a step you could say in feeling comfortable in being in your own skin , to have the name that fits is like having that perfect dress! personally i feel like a name is a way to really understand how people see you and whether, its by the name you have or one they gave to you, to fit you in the way they see you. 
to close this i must say the number one thing is to be happy with who you are no matter is you have a name as sweet as a rose or not.
