Blog Topic 8

I choose this picture because of the maps that are in our school system nowadays most students think that Hawaii is a lot closer to the United States.  However, Hawaii is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.  It is pretty much alone by its self and not anywhere close to California. 
I think that we need to make sure that in our schools today we make sure that the students to not mistake where Hawaii and Alaska are because on the map in are school books just show them off to the side.   Most people in the world do not really realize just how far away Hawaii is from the west coast until they fly there.  I have never been to Hawaii but i have heard from other people that it take a very long time to fly over there.
