Human Geo: Part 1

            In my future when I am done high school and college, I would definitely like to be doing something that has to do with sports, either a trainer, coach, or even a physical therapist. The only place I could see myself living in is the East Coast of the United States. I want to stay on the East Coast mainly because that’s where lacrosse is played for the most part. On the East Coast I would like to go to Florida maybe, and North or South Carolina. I would like to move to Florida because of the warmer weather and it is a huge peninsula on the ocean. Also, I would want to go to one of the Carolina’s because it has the Ocean. So definitely having the huge bodies of water are pull factors for me to come live there. Another pull factor for those two places is that they are both in the United States, so that means I still have freedom of speech and religion. I can’t think of many push factors for those two states except for the fact that, being on the ocean like that there could be some pretty bad storms. Maybe another push factor from those two places could be jobs because I’m sure many illegal immigrants try to go to Florida or the Carolina’s to enjoy the weather and to get money, so finding a job could be a problem possibly. I definitely would not like to leave the United States because all the other countries are not free like we are, and the U.S. has basically everything a person could want, land, water, jobs, money, and freedom, so there is no reason for me to leave. I will most likely be staying on the East Coast because the sport I love is down here and so are the places I would want to move to.   

 Human Geo: Part 2

            After speaking with my parents and grandparents I learned that both my parents and immediate grandparents were all born in Maryland. My great grandparents on my mom’s side were born in Maryland and Massachusetts. My great grandparents on my dad’s side were born in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. It is known by my maternal grandparents that our ancestors came from Ireland and Whales. It is not known however who our first ancestor was and when they arrived in the United States. My grandpa on my dad’s side also knows little about his ancestry, he was told growing up however that some of his ancestors came from Scotland. My grandma on my dad’s side has been looking into her ancestors for a few years. She has found that the first ancestor on her dad‘s side of the family came from Graben, Germany in August of 1750 to Philadelphia. His name was Caspar Defibaugh and he migrated by a ship called the Edinburg. He came to buy property. His wife and kids did not come at first but planned to meet up with Caspar in the future. When his wife and kids came to join him his wife got very sick and died. Caspar then remarried and moved from Lancaster P.A. to Bedford County P.A. When he was done moving around he bought one hundred and fifty acres, two horses, and a cow. Later he and his older son began work on the Defibaugh Tavern. It took many years but Caspar Defibaugh finally made his Tavern and became the Baker in it, and the Tavern still exist today. I really loved learning all this information and I think it is good to know about your family and where you came from. I think it is amazing that so many people come from so many different places.
