All About Me

Hi, my name is Jill Bender and I'm from Bethlehem, Pa. I am a sophomore this year, living in Lackhove Hall. I am going to declare Exercise Science as my major next semester so I am currently undeclared. I love to play soccer so if anyone ever wants to shoot around or anything let me know! I also love to go horseback riding. At home we have three dogs named Ace, Rocco, and Peaches, and I also have two older sisters named Emily and Hillary. I am taking this class because I thought it sounded interesting and it also filled a general education requirement. The last book that I read was Charlie St. Cloud and I loved it. It was not what I expected but it made me think about life and why we do certain things; I love those types of books. I think cultural diversity refers to the way people live their lives, rather than peoples actual "cultural" appearance. I feel that society is very diverse and certain cultures look down on other cultures no matter where you are in the world. I am interested to see where this class takes me. I want to learn how and why people from different cultures act the way they do and why it has become such a huge problem in our society today. I think that these issues will be illustrated through the books we will read in class.
