the civil war in sudan

The ongoing civil war has displaced more than 4 million southerners. Some fled into southern cities, such as Juba; others trekked as far north as Khartoum and even into ethiopia, kenya, ugnda, egypt, and other countries. sudan has two major cultures arab and black african with hundreds of divisions which makes them living peacfully hard. 

today in class we continued watching the video and they sent some sudanese boys to america and it wasfunny to see them because they had no idea what anything was and how to use things.

class of 2010

in class we learned to hold the door for somebody and got told to say
your welcome when someone says thank you. We also learned that the lost boys of
Sudan had to leave their country because of a civil war. They also couldn't stay
in Ethiopia because their government started to fail, some of the boys were in
the refugee for around ten years and it was very sad.i dont no what to do for the maps because i wasnt here to watch the movie.

migration map

today we made a map where everybody was from and traced it to america and where we live now.

migration

Two places I would like to go to
after college are Hawaii and England. I would like to go to Hawaii because it
has very good weather and all the people are nice there. Also it is right on
the ocean and I could be at the beach all day. I would like to go to England because
of all the good soccer teams that are there. I would watch premier league
soccer in all of their amazing stadiums. Push factors that would push me away
from where I live now is it’s in the middle of nowhere, my parents, nothing to
do, can’t do what I would want to do. Pull factors that would make me want to
go to Hawaii or England is the warm weather, beach, style of life, watching
soccer all day, freedom to do what I want when I want. The downside of moving
away from here is that I will miss my family, I will miss the quiet country, and
the way people live around here, the food, and the sports teams. The advantages
of moving somewhere else is that I could do what I want when I want, moving
somewhere it is always warm and sunny, there is beaches I could go to every
day, watching soccer in England, the city life.


I come from Ireland. Both sides of my family came from Ireland
and migrated to the United States. My mom’s great grandparents from her dad’s
side came and move to carney in Baltimore. And they lived there with their kids
my mom’s grandparents and they moved to California. Then they had 8 children
one of them my grandpa my mom’s dad married my mom’s mother who is also from Ireland
and lived in California all of her life. My dad’s side of the family their
great grandparents arrived from Ireland and lived in West Virginia. Then they
had my pops dad and he grew up very poor as a farmer he met my grandma and the
had 7 kids one of them my grandpa was born with polio. There was no treatment then
and since they were so poor they couldn’t afford any medical care. My pop never
finished 6 grades and moved to Baltimore to find work, he ended up in Aberdeen
working on milk trucks and working for the county. My dad’s parents meet and
had two kids one of them was my dad. He also came from a poor back round my pop
was working two or three jobs at a time making little to no money. My dad had
to work for what he wanted working at the neighbors farm for money. My mom came
from California and her dad moved around the country as a manager for a
shipping industry my mom moved from California to Texas then to Maryland and
meet my dad at a bar. They meet got married and started an automobile shop then
they had four kids one of them me and we moved to Jarrettsville. That is my back
round for as far as I could go back and my parents could remember.
