Talent Show.

Talent show is where people can show and display their talents. Talent show started yesterday, and it has been delightful watching the different performances. Yesterday we had a mix of performances dancing and singing, today it was the same, we have people singing and dancing. My group danced today, we all had different feelings going on. When i went on the stage i was nervous and excited. But, i was mostly excited. My group danced to a mix, which had the songs "Super Human", "I like that", "Moves like jagger" and "super bass". So far all the performances had been fantastic! Ilima's got talent, was fun to do... now we know Ilima does have talent. Tomorrow I will be the speaker, Yesterday I got a job to record the Talent show performances. It was a cool experience to try, because i never did that before. So far the people who went on for talent show, did an amazing job. They all had the guts to go up there and show their talents. Our preformance group was called JMSHJ it stands for all our first names, (jolene, megan, shayna, heighlee, joshua). This year's talent show has been very interesting to watch, what i liked about this experience was we got to show our talents to do school, also i like how we got to perform for both lunches for 8th grade lunch it was nervous first, but after i did the first song, i got use to it. And, i was use to the 7th grade lunch crowd since me and my group danced already. I'm ready to see more beautiful talents tomorrow.

Video Essay.

The Video Essay was a cool experience to try. We had to make a video for our powerpoint on our hero. What i did was, i did my video on a camera, i did a few takes and it turned out to be good. In the video essay it should show feelings, how i felt while recording is thankful to have a sister like mines, i felt honored and great. When i started talking about the reasons why she's my hero i felt really happy that i can rely on someone, and i can always count on them. That's what a hero is, you admire that person no matter what they do or say's, they help you regardless of the risks involved. What i liked about this experience is we got to share our feelings in a new way, we did feelings on our blogs, powerpoints,and  now videos. In the video essay we got to practice our speaking skills, and working more with technology. It's cool how we get to all share our hero's and introduce them to the class, your introducing the person who inspires, motivates, and the person who infleunces you. In my video essay i said my sister helped me be who i am today. I grow up with my sister my whole life, and she is 3 years older than me. She has more experience than me, I also said i don't know what i would do without her, this part also made me feel great inside, knowing i have many blessings, and one of them is to have a older sister, she always is here for me through thick and thin and i know she will stay by my side no matter what. We have our downing parts but, together we have the super powers to overcome them. In my video essay i also said i have met no one like my sister, and she is one of a kind and unique. My video lasted for 2mins and 35seconds. Before i started filming, i wrote what i was going to say on a paper, and i remember it by using highlights. In my opinion i think my video essay technique went smoothly. This video essay assignment was interesting to do, i remember one time, i was filming and i spaced out. But, it's okay because practice makes perfect. And, since i took different films, it turned out to be great. I'm looking foward to showing the class my powerpoint and video i worked on so far. The next assignment we have is the oral part of the hero assignment. I'm also looking foward to do this part because it's also different, your speaking oral in front of the whole class. But is similair to the other assignments. The video essay was great experience to do, and it would be cool to do something like this again. I'm excited for the next part of the hero assignment.   

Hero Powerpoint.

2nd Quarter unit: My Hero.
The first step we did for this Hero assignment, was to make a blog entry about who is our hero, and why. Characteristics that hero's have, and what type of characteristics our hero has. The next step we are doing is the Hero presentation/powerpoint, and the hero presentation blog which i am doing right now. The hero presentation/powerpoint was a fun experience to do. It also worked with the 6 GLO's. This step deals with technology. The first slide of the powerpoint is the title, which has "My Hero", and my hero's name, and who is it by, me. The second slide is backround information on my hero, who my hero is. The third and fourth slide is why she is my hero, it gives reasons and details that support it. The fifth slide isn't due yet, but it is the Video Essay, and the last slide is the summary/conclusion. The background i picked for my hero presentation is Flowers. I picked this background for my powerpoint because flowers grow, and my sister helps me to grow, imrove, and be the best i can be. And, when flowers are fully grown they bloom and blossom. My sister wants the best for me, and what's me to grow and blossom into a beautiful person, inside and out, just like a flower. But, i also picked that background because it reminds me of my sister, because  she is a bright person. I enjoyed doing this presentation because we got to my a visual representation on who is our hero. My hero is my sister Janine Grace, she is my hero because i look up to her as a role model. Also because, she is always there for me, when i need help or anything else, i can rely on her. One reason why my sister is my hero because she is there for me no matter what. She helps me through any type of problem, if it's school work or any other typical problem she is always there to guide me through it. My sister is not superman, but she has the powers of being a big sister. She does her job of being a big sister, spending quality time with me, and sacrificing her time for me, she even sacrafices her time for me even though she's busy. She is a true hero to me, but not only that she is my big sister. What i liked about doing this powerpoint was I like the topic, "My hero". We got to talk about the person who inspires and who we admire. I also liked how the powerpoint shows a visual representation on who our hero is. I am intrested in doing the next step for the hero assignment. The next step is doing a video essay. Something i'm looking foward to is sharing this with the class, and seeing who is their hero. A hero is someone you  that you look up to and is always there for you to help you when you need it.  No matter what they say or do to you, you still admire them. A hero is a person who in the opinion of others has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model.

My Hero.

There are many definition of the word "Hero". One definition of hero is someone that you look up to and is always there for you to help you when you need it.  No matter what they say or do to you, you still admire them. A hero is a person who in the opinion of others has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model.

        This is my older sister, Janine Grace. She is 3 years older than me, and she has been here for me my whole life, when i was still taking baby steps. My sister is my hero because she is always here for me through thick and thin, and she understands me. She is always here for me no matter what happens in life. I look up to her, and admire her for everyhting she does, she is my role model. She helps me when i need it. Whether it's school work or any other typical problem she guides me throught it. Sometimes, she asks me if i need help even though i don't ask her. Throughout my life my sister has been there for me since day one. What my sister has done for me is, lots of things. One example is, she does her job of being a big sister. She protects me, and just wants the best for me. If I were to tell my sister what she means to me, I would say that she's my inspiration. Although she has no super powers like superman she has the strength to inspire me in many ways which makes her one of a kind, HERO. She inspires me to achieve my goals, and she inspires me to follow my dreams. She's always supporting me to do my best. My sister isn't like any other sister in the world, she's MY sister. I grew up with her, and I couldn't ask for any other sister as perfect as her. We have our up's and down's like any other siblings have, but we always will love eachother. She is my role model, and hero because she can turn my bad days, into good days with out even trying. Right there, she has the super power to inspire me and to make everyday a better day, she motivates me everyday, and cares for me and just wants me to succeed in life.

        

Characteristics that I believe all of  most heros share is Strength, Courage, Helpful, Inspiring, Loyalty, Dedication, Bravery, Motivation, Honesty, Fairness, Confidience, Uniqueness. There are so many traits to describe a hero, that you just have to look up to a hero, and feel it. Every hero has an amazing quality, which is to "rescue" people. They help people who need it, but sometimes they help people without them even asking, they are brave and they are dedicated. They would do anything to help that person. They would help anyone who is in danger, and put there own safety at risk to save a person. A hero is someone you can look up to, someone you admire, someone that you would like to be in the future and your role model.

Which chararestics my hero shares is mostly all of them, My sister is very Helpful, Inspiring, Loyal, she is Brave, Honest, she has confidience and is unique. My sister made an impact on me, which makes me admire her and look up to her, and most of all i know i can count on her. My sister is my hero because in the future i want to follow her footsteps, and be the person like she is now. My sister is loving and caring and wants the best for me everyday. She is someone that will be stand by me through thick and thin. She is a hero to me.  

"Hero's are hard to find, but you know they're always there."   

Secret Santa. ^____^

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas :) Christmas is almost here, and i'm so excited. ^----^ yaaaay!
 This year leadership is doing an activity called Secret santa, first we did a drawing, and we had to pick a card which had someone's name on it, and we buy them a present from looking at there blog and seeing what  they would want this year for christmas. The limit is $20.00, and were not allowed to tell anyone because it's a SECRET. The day we give our presents will be on December 14, and i'm so excited.
sooo... This is some thing's i want for christmas, to make it easier here's a list.  I like clothes from FOREVER21, i like floral clothes, or any type of clothes there. My size is small, well it depends but it's usually small. I like to shop at charlotte russe, jeans wear house. I was looking for a jumper in one of these stores. I also like accessories, earings, Feather earings, from claires, icing.  I like sandals, like the kinds i wear to school. I like to do my nails, shadder nail polish, or the nail polish with a skinny brush. I like stuff from Sanrio like maybe a hello kitty lanyard. Well, that's somethings that came to my mind, it's okay if you don't get these. But, these are the things i would like to have for christmas. Can't wait for December 14. ^___^       

Inter School Athletics, ISA.

11-4-11, Friday. On friday we had Inter school athletics, it's when all different schools come and play either basketball, or girls softball and compete with other schools. Some schools we had were Our school, Ilima,  Ewa Makai, Kapolei, Waianae, Nanakuli, Pearl Highlands, Waipahu, Etc. When i first came to school on that day, the first thing we did was set everything up like the tables for basketball, the scorer, the water coolers, and much more. At 8:50-9AM some of the schools had been coming to Ilima already. When all the schools were here already They stretched and did all the things they had to do before the games all started. My job was on the softball field making sure no one would step on the certain parts of the field. I liked the weather on that day, it was windy, and not hot, but warm. No one really stepped on my side, and it went smoothly, i enjoyed my job. I got to watch the softball games and it was fun to see other teams come here and play. Something i would change differently if we got to experience this again, is i would change my job. I liked my job, though i wanted to try something new. Like going on the basketball court and scoring the basketball players shots. I remember last year my job was the water cooler with my other friends when we were 7th graders. In the future i hope to do more activities like this. It was amazing. I think everyone did a good job, and it was a good day.
