Hey, my name is Collin. I live in Beaman, IA and Im just an average kid.

South America Self Assessment: Our proposal was to help the country of Venezuela by creating jobs in the agriculture industry, thus the poverty rate would decrease. My group and I began the "Grow A Dream" program. This program was created to grow more corn in Venezuela and in the end making more money for our company but also making money for Venezuela and creating more job opportunities to unemployed people of that particular country. I learned a lot during this process including Venezuela's corn season is exact opposite of the United States which means that we could provide year round production of corn to the United states as well.

Middle East Self Assessment: I thought that this project was fairly easy because we all worked together more then the last proposal. I learned quite a bit from research I did and found it very interesting not only because I don't know very much about their culture/customs, but because it was interesting to see what our troops have been experiencing in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and Pakistan. I realized that their religion determines just about everything in their lives and makes them very disciplined including what they eat, how their government runs, and so on. In the end, I thought our group worked really hard on this project and did a very good job.
