When I think about geography I think about place, and time, and people. I chose 2 spots on the map. The first one is in Puerto Rico, the place where I was born and spent many summers in my childhood after we moved to the states. Every time I go "Home", it fills my soul. The sounds, smells, sights all coming from the people who live there, and still love life even in the face of so many hardships of hurricanes, earthquakes, poverty and government corruption.

The second spot I chose was in Lincoln, England. An original copy of the Magna Carta is in the cathedral in Lincoln. That document, written in 1215, has influenced so many governments, including our own. My passion to teach history and integrate geography is one of the reasons I am enrolled in this course.
