My team was successful at the marble maze because we cooperated and took turns talking. We beat this challenge twice and we all worked together quickly and efficiently. We figured out the pattern for the maze quickly. We figured out the trick to this maze, but it was hard because we could not talk. In the hog call, we did well the first time, but we struggled the second time. My group really enjoyed the charger trails.

My Career as a Veterinarian
The career that I plan to pursue in the future is a veterinarian. A veterinarian is just like a doctor for animals. I plan to receive a bachelor of science in biology. Following my bachelor degree, I will complete a doctorate in veterinary medicine. I have been interested in this career since I was young. I think that this career would suit me perfectly because I care lovingly for animals. I am committed to animals, and have a good work ethic. This job is mentally challenging, and I am up for the challenge! I have some experience caring for animals because I have six of my own pets!
There are 29 colleges with accredited veterinary programs in the United States. To become a veterinarian you must complete a doctorate of veterinary medicine. This normally takes four years to complete, though it depends on the person. After completing school, I need to pass the licensure exam which is called the NAVLE. The outlook for this career is 12% which is as fast as the average career outlook. About one out of three veterinarians work more than 50 hours a week. The median salary is $84,460 a year, and the lowest ten percent earned less than $51,530. The number of jobs in the United States in 2012 was 70,300. These are just a few of the many benefits of being a veterinarian.

A Snip of my Culture-Verse
When I was 3.76 years old, I was given my first toy cash register for Christmas. When I received this gift, I played with it every single day. This cash register taught me about an important cultural universal, economics. The cash register came with fake coins and dollar bills. This fake currency allowed me to experiment with different ways to use currency, and how much different items were worth. I loved calculating different amounts of money using the calculator on the cash register. Currency is used to get items that we need. This monetary system is used every day, and is more efficient than trading and bartering. It eliminates “having to make a deal”. Currency is used all throughout the United States of America. All of the people in the United States of America use the same currency. This is important because when someone travels to a different state they do not need to exchange currency. This small toy cash register had a large impact on my knowledge on currency.
Social Classes
Social Classes
Casey Powell
What are the social classes and how are they organized?
- The social classes were set up in shape of pyramid
- The pharaoh was at the top of the pyramid, then came royal family, nobles, and government
- Third from top priests and priestesses, after them came scribes
- Next came artists and skilled workers, and lastly came the laborers
Why was the pharaoh the most powerful person in all of Ancient Egypt and how did he keep his power?
- The pharaoh owned all of the land and had all of the control
- The way the pharaoh kept the people happy was by providing land
- Even though he was powerful he needed help of nobles, military advisors, priests, and a bureaucracy and a vizier
Why were scribes more powerful than artists and laborers?
- Scribes had to attend school for long time and it was difficult to learn the hieroglyphs
- They recorded important events and sometimes wrote books for rich people
- Becoming a scribe is a way a person might become wealthy
What did the artists make and what was their place in the society?
- Furniture, jewelry, and cloth
- Not largest class
- Second from bottom of pyramid
Why were the laborers important to the Egyptians?
- The laborers farmed crops
- During the inundation, which is the annual flooding of the Nile, laborers worked on buildings such as pyramids
- Were also needed to build structures such as pyramids
