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 knew microfinance loans were small, but I did not realize that they were that small. That was probably the thing that surprised me the most. How he started up the business did not seem out of the ordinary though.

2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
Actually there weren't any parts of the reading that were particularly confusing to me. It was very well written and cohesive.
3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?
I would ask 1. Working in the microfinance industry, isn't it a huge risk to be lending to people with such a small amount of money? and 2. What happens when they are not able to pay you back?
4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?
I do not really know much of anything about the microfinance industry so I don't have enough knowledge on the topic to form my own opinion. There wasn't anything in the article that I was truly skeptic about or stuck out as "wrong" to me.
