Today in class to start off we sang Happy Birthday to Mr.Schick and he, just like anybody else on their birthday, checked his Facebook for all the birthday posts on his wall and it turns out he has a lot of interesting and famous friends. Then, he told us about the rapping contest that the New York Times is having for students about the major things that happened in the year, I could probably write a really good rap but I don't think I would want to submit it. When class started we wrapped up our unit on Cultural Geography with the presentation of Mr. Schick's religion PowerPoint. We learned about the religions Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism. A lot of info about these religions was pretty interesting like how Buddhists follow the Eightfold Path and believe in the Four Noble Truths. Mr. Schick I am pretty sure was Buddhist at one point in his life because he got really into telling us about the classes he took and how even eating a raisin can be given meaning. Also, Hinduism is the oldest religion dating back way before Judaism and the time of Jesus. People believe in different religions and live different life styles but for some reason they just can't get along. Our test is tomorrow on Cultural Geography and I am pretty confident in it.
