Andres: La Retama Library

I loved Andres website and topic. It was extremely well organized and it was something you just had to read. Its amazing how things can live on for years and years. I had never heard of this library, but after reading this it makes me want to visit and see it for myself. 

Kevin: Ben Garza

Kevin Chandlers topic and website was so interesting, and well organized, it really caught my attention. I had honestly never heard of Ben Garza but now after reading that website I do. It makes me think that it is sad we do not know enough of the people in Corpus Christi that tried to make a difference. To see all their accomplishments should help us make better decisions today.

Reflection On My Corpus Christi History Project

My Corpus Christi History Project research was on the Corpus Christi Cathedral. I really enjoyed doing this project because I did not know I could learn so much about the Cathedral and of Corpus Christi. It's amazing how much I found out with the short amount of time we were given to finish the project, I could just imagine if we had had more time. The best part of this project was reading about how much people donated and helped. People donated land! That is something nobody today would do. I believe that is the way it should be, we should guve without asking for anything in return. This relates to me because one day in the future I want to be able to help with nothing given to me in return. I have faith that one day I will be able to do that. 

Corpus Christi Cathedral

May 3rd I was at the Corpus Christi Cathedral for the confirmation of the kids from my church. I thought it would be a good idea to take a picture since the cathedral is what I'm doing my History Project on.

I've been doing research but I feel lost because I'm not sure what I want to get across to the people who are going to read it. I was thinking just getting the History behind it. For example, when it was built? Why was it built? What people were involved? How has the cathedral changed over time? I feel like it would gain people's knowledge about it since they probably don't hear too much of it.

Scavenger Hunt

This is my scavenger hunt partner Alyssa Cortez and I at our first landmark.

Introduction

Hi, my name is Damaris Gonzalez and this is my history blog. On this blog I will be posting my scavenger hunt updates and things relating to my Corpus Christi history project. My research project is going to be on the Corpus Christi Cathedral. My goal is to get as much information as possible so we can all learn as much as we can of something in out home town. I'm catholic and church is something that is really important to me, which is why I chose the Corpus Christi Cathedral. I thought it would be important to know about things I surround my life with.
