1) What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your expectations?
I really enjoyed this reading as it was very understandable and very inspiring. What surprised me the most was that SKS only gave microloans to women and not men. I find it hard to believe that men would be less likely to reinvest in the household and I'd be interested to see those studies.
2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
I thought it was a little confusing that they only gave loans to women, but they said there were studies the showed men wouldn't reinvest it. The story was very easy to read and nothing about it was that confusing.
3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?
There are a lot of things I would like to ask this author and I feel like he would have been a great entrepreneur to interview for the assignments in this class. I would ask the other how he managed to deal with the risks early on in the business when he was making loans. I would also ask the author if he started the business with plans to only lend to women and if that was something he learned as a loan officer in his first job.
4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?
I don't know if he was wrong about the fact that men are less likely to reinvest in the household or not. I would definitely like to see these studies which I will try to google to find more information about.
