Week 1-27

I liked this week.You say HUH?! This week was very chill and fun. This week was also busy. A lot of events are coming faster and faster, like spring fling, intramurlas. The year book deadline is coming super duper fast and much more events. This week my job was ID's. I don't think there were problems this week, and I missed having weeks like these were we can just joke around, laugh until we all have 6 packs coming on and everything is just back to normal.
Monday- Odd periods, good day. First day on doing ID's for this week. We discussed our spring fling posters, our flyer assignments, banquet, yearbook, orentation, our bowling field trip, and our jobs for the evacuation tomorrow.
Tuesday- Even periods. In the morning during homeroom we had an evacuation and we had to help. During period 6 we practiced our dance for orientation and started our spring fling posters.
Wednesday- Odd periods, a good day. Practiced our dance during advisory.
Thursday- Even periods. We had period 6 first we finished our spring fling posters. I finished my whole poster during period 6, and I worked on yearbook for a while and practiced our dance for orientation again. Haha, today we were also assigned to what we will wear for our dress codes. I got a cowboy, and i am fine with that! Josh got an indian LOL I can't wait for the catwalk YMCA.
Friday- PBS opt out in the morning. I was in charge for that and I made period 4 work since they were in A102 and had lounge. I was there helping and checking there dress codes and making sure everything was going fine. After the morning we got ready for our bowling field trip. And we got to school around 12:50. We stayed in A101 for a while but then we all had to go back to period 5, so me and shanice went english. Me, Shayna, Tam, Josh, Melani and Cachie stayed afterschool to practice our dance and that pretty much ended the week. Next week Me and my team will have music so we made playlist afterschool. This week was very accomploshing and good. I hope to have more weeks like these, this quarter and the next quarter is going to be really busy, I hope next week will be better! We spent most of this week practicing our dance it was really funny. Even afterschool josh's dance ohmy. Can't wait for next week will bring. (:

ISA Bowling

Guess what Ilima Intermediate leadership and other schools on Oahu did? ISA Bowling! Hahaha, I remember last time we went bowling... Richie was vomitting and me and Tamera had front seats! LOL. I remember handing him paper to vomit on, and that message Mr.Ing showed me. Anyway, We were the first to get picked up on our bus, since usually when we arrive on the bus, waipahu is usually in the back. We always share our bus with waipahu and it's really nice to ride with them because they are all friendly. I started my morning great. First we walked to boys and girls club and waited for a while, all of us were with our groups just practicing our dances. And then our bus was here, we sat in the front as usual and went to go and pick up waipahu. On our way there the guy driving was on the phone and saying "i'm leaving waipahu" When clearly he's in ewa beach o_o. When we went to pick up waipahu we were headed to the schoolfield. It was funny because we were all like I can run faster than this driver can drive. When we first entered the bus it was queit, but then we started talking. We talked with all the people surronding me and shayna, ha. We were talking about joshy's dead dog, and the rock, then heighlee started talking about her rats and pets. lol. When we got there plans changed instead of going to the banquet planning across the street, I bowled instead :D. I was on the 8th grade girls team. We had to be A,B,C,D or E. Rhea was A, Shaela was B, Tamera was C, I was D, and chachie was E. 1. 2. 3. Look back! hehe. During round one we were still warming up. During round one through two we took turns eating, I love their food there. I ordered a small drink, curly fries and and cheeseburger, I feel like eating that right now. haha, then round 3 I did better than the other 2 rounds.
When it was time to go, we got dropped off first and said our byes to waipahu. Today was a great and adventorous day! ♥ ^____^  

Spring Fling Poster

It's time for... SPRING FLING!

I'm proud of the poster I made during period 6 ('; Shayna is the chairperson for spring fling, and a week ago we made flyers and hanged them up at the classes we were assigned to from the teams we got. This week she made us work on spring fling posters. Everybody's posters were nice, colorful and had effort in it. The poster had to include the title "it's time for... spring fling" in block letters from the cricket, we also had to include What, Where, Who, When and Why. And add pictures of the activities that are going to be there. In my poster I added everything and every activity she has given us. I really enjoyed doing the poster because we all got to show our creativness and display things that will be there and the information. First I started by grabbing a really nice, colorful poster so it will catch people's eyes. Then what I did was make my title from the cricket, I printed the what, where. who, when and why letters and information from the computer. I added pictures from the computer also and cut them with really fun sisscors and glued them to black construction paper. I'm really happy on how it turned out to look and I'm really happy to be showing my hard work around the school. Today was the due date to finish the poster and today will be the day shayna will grade us on our posters. The next step will be making a banner, spring fling is coming up really fast and i'm really excited to be there, and see smiles around me. In the future I would like to do an activity like this again because it is fun to help plan for our school activities.   

Evacuation

Alert. Alert. Alert. On tuesday we had a evacuation during homeroom. Don't worry it wasn't a real one. It was just a practice drill. We had to go to Campbell's track field and we all sat on the benches which was muddy and wet. But it didn't bother me. We all had different jobs, leadership and the teachers had there vests on and we were ready to guide the school. On monday we had to assign parthners. In the beginning we didn't realize what was the problem that we kept running to. Then the 4 of us found it. It was because our class was odd, and one person had to work alone. Shayna was the indiviual. Also, for our parthners we aren't allowed to work with people we usually hang out with and work with, I was with Anne. She was a great parthner to work with. Our job was to stay at the track field benches and guide them where to sit. The drill lasted for the whole homeroom. I liked the job I got because I got to cooperate with our people. I also liked how we got to be parthners with people we don't really work with. It was a really great experience. Throughout the drill everything ran smooth. The drill was really good for a first.

Week 1-20

How was your weekend? This is the third week of quarter 3, and it's been pretty interesting. There were different things going on. The week was going pretty good, and yesterday and today was interesting, problems started coming. This week was only 4 days, here's how the week went...
Tuesday- Good day, my group 6-2 had lounge and afterschool sales this week. This morning we disscussed the activity's for spring fling and wrote them in our planners, we talked about the orientation jobs and our weed and seed support letters. Today was odd periods. And everything was normal and going fine. It was a fresh start of the week, and I planned it to be good.
Wednesday-Short day, even periods, period 6 was first, I worked on my spring fling flyer for most of this period, Weed and Seed final draft was due this week. Everything was going fine through out this day.
Thursday- Today was pretty interesting, in the morning i shared my intramurals jobs, because I was in charge for it. In the morning Mr.Ing told us that we had to go find a advisory and we had to go out for lunch if his meeting took long. Me and Rhea went 10mins early before period 3 ended, and luckly Mr.Ing just got back from his meeting. During Advisory/Lunch I haven't noticed till yesterday that period 2 had problems going on during there jobs. How 1 mistake got into 6 mistakes. During Advisory/Lunch we combined the 4 tables as a disscussion, and we talked about what was happening to period 2 and clear up the confusion, but it was still not clear. Today was also the day Mr.Ing's basketball team lost from his game. Since the problem wasn't fixed today, the problem carried on into friday.
Friday- Today was even periods, 2,4,6. After the bell rang to go homeroom me and my team locked A102 and went to A101, we were having another disscussion. We talked about how the envelope for ID's and other problems they had forgot about. During the disscussion we talked about period 2's performance, and during the morning Rhea got put into period 2's side. We had to vote either in or out. It couldn't been based on feelings, but on how they have been preforming. I said... out. Majority of us said out. It couldn't been based on our feelings, and it had to be based on their actions. I said out because when they were crying, I thought to myself and the disscussion we talked about before, "won't you rather be in a place where your happy, instead of being in a place where you are not happy?" I started tearing just like the people surronding me, i'm sensetive and wanted the best for them. Mr.Ing has been telling us how much chances he has given them, and it was hard to make a disscussion because they all want to be here so badly, but their actions say something else. During advisory, period 2 kept staring at mr.ing quietly with no solutions to say. They either had a chance to take a break for quite a while or make up an solution. From looking at period 2 they all didn't think of original solutions.They wanted a solution to not talk to mr.ing, but mr.ing gave them better examples like making a tree, a gardnen. Baking cake. After todays disscussion, they made each one of them flowers and they had to make it grow before the bell rang. I thought that was an interesting idea, and it was out of the box. During period 6 it was really funny and fun. I loved period 6 today, it was awesome hanging out with good company. Today was emotional.
Everyone makes mistakes, but sometimes people get many chances to fix it but don't realize it. I hope next week will be much better than this week, we only have 2 quarters left in Ilima Intermediate. We got to make them count. I hope next week will be better. Garden of forgivness. hahaha, Garden of smiles, something something, blank, blank. HUH?! BOB. (inside jokes period 6 and mr.ing) (: Hope all of you have a blessed weekend, see you guys next week!

Spring Fling Flyer

Guess what's coming soon in February?! SPRING FLING. The assignment of the week was to create a flyer for the spring fling. It had to have the title in block letters "spring fling", and it has to say when, who, what and where. Then we had to include the activities that will be there. For example the doughnut line. I put pictures of doughnuts. Or put the horn on the unicorn, I put a picture of a unicron, and I also added a rainbow for more colors. I put different pictures to represent each of the activity's.  This activity was fun because we got to use our imagination. Also because we got to be creative. Shayna is in charge for spring fling, today was the deadline to give our flyers to her. After everyone gives there flyers to shayna, Shayna is going to pick which one she likes the most. I finished my flyer around Wednesday and thursday. It was fun making a flyer during my period, because josh and chachie was on the 2 computers by me, and I was the indiviual computer, while tamera and melani was on the laptop and black desktop, while king was reading. It was a very productive period because all of us were working on something. I believe spring fling will be on February, 3:00-5:00PM. I can't wait for February because there is going to be a lot of activity's and different songs to dance to. Me and Rhea will be at the balloon and darts place, I can't wait (:    

Weed and Seed letter

The assignment was to create a letter about weed and seed and give them to the legislators to make them keep funding for Weed and seed because they really helped Ilima Intermediate a lot. In my letter I put my past experiences with them, from my 7th grade year to currently this year. First I introduced myself to them, and I told them what Weed and seed have been doing for us, weed and seed had been helping Ilima Intermediate for quite a while, and I really appreciate it because they come on there own time to help Ilima. They helped us with our welcome dance by surronding the campus and making sure everyone was safe, but not only that they helped us get the word out to our community during drive safe for ewa sign waving, it was great participating after all the things they have done for us. I would like to thank weed and seed for everything, they are such great help and I hope this year I will get to see them again because they helped made an impact on our school. Weed and seed also helped us during intramurals. They helped us referee during our football games, and helped us with other sports. Weed and seed are our friends, and I want to thank them for all the help they have been giving. It means a lot to me. What I liked about doing this assignment is we got to write and share our feelings about weed and seed to the legislators. I liked how we got to share our voice and tell them how much weed and seed made an impact on us, and how much they mean to each and one of us. This year I hope to have a chance on working with them again. They are people who chose to come and help us. I find it very touching. I hope to see them early this february at our basketball intramurals.      

Week 1-13

This was the first complete week in quarter 3. Overall this week was good and seemed fast to me. Monday through thursday, me and Tamera had to go on tv one by one because one of our team members were put into probation because of his actions. But today he worked off his probation and produced for us on tv. I liked this week because there wasn't anything bad that really happened, it was much better than last week. In the future I hope we can have better days. It's still the beginning of 2012 we don't need more problems, it's a fresh start. This week we removed the change of weekly progress reports, and we didn't do time cards anymore. This week the chair people wrote what they are in charge for, and what every one's elses job is. This week Mr.Ing treated us with treats like doughnuts. And because Mr.Ing's team won 2 times during there basketball game, Mr.Ing bought us lunch like tacos and sandwhiches. Thank you Mr.Ing(: My start of third quarter is going great, and I hope it will be like this for the rest of the year. Third and fourth quarters are usually the quarters where we are the most bussies. We are starting to plan all the events out. I think the changes helped leadership have less problems, like weekly AR we all have a head start on AR now. Today was also a good day, in the morning I had tv then at homeroom shayna disscussed the spring fling and other events, this week was very productive. During period 6 everyone was doing their jobs and being productive. During my period Tamera picking songs and choreo to dance to, and it was fun seeing everyone dance in my team it was a great having quality time with period 6 and Mr.Ing we had many laughs this week. This whole week me and shayna would stay afterschool and talk about things with Mr.Ing, it's great quality time. We have a three day weekend, and only 4 days of school next week. I hope next week will be as great as this week.  

If I could take away one change...

If I could take away one change, I would take away...  this question is making me thinking a lot. This is a hard decision because all these changes help all of us. One change we can't take away is the first change, lunch time. We can't take that rule away because it's not our rule. It's Mr.Ing's rule. After thinking about each and every rule, one rule I would like to change is change number 7. Weekly grade checks. I personally would like to take away this change because we don't really need it. It was a rule already before the changes came in to have good grades, and not having D's or F's. It's complete common sense. I would like to take away this change because we are just wasting our teachers and Mr.ing's time by making them write how we are doing, and by making Mr.Ing print out more papers. If we could of just followed directions and do good in your classes this rule would of not been here. But I know everyone makes mistakes, I make mistakes too, but it's always something you have to accept and learn from. I chose this rule because, not everybody in leadership is struggling with their grades. There might be a few but not all. I think without this change a lot of people won't be stressing out anymore, I don't mean once this rule is gone keep slacking in your classes, I mean once this rule is gone things can go back to normal and we don't need to worry so much, but keep doing well in our classes. This change is a good change and helps with our grades in our classes but, there's some things I don't favor about it, like having it weekly. In my opinion I don't think we need this change. Before these rules even started we should already have been doing well in all our classes. In my opinion since we did this around second quarter, and I remember no one from my group having bad comments I think we can do better without this rule. For me, this change isn't that huge, because we experienced this in second quarter suprisingly and I remember my group doing well in their classes without checking on it weekly. Overall the one change that I can take away would be change number 7, weekly grade checks. Our first weekly grade checks is on the 12th, thursday. I don't think we need to do a grade check because since we are looking at webgrader more often to check our assignments for leadership, we can check our grades and see how we are already doing. And, we can be responsible on our own to check in with the teacher. I think without this rule, we can still be responsible by checking webgrader and talking to our teacher about it. The one change that I want to take away is weekly grade checks.
Today during advisory we talked about the real meaning of having time cards, all our explanation on why we have it was far from the real reason why. The reason was to interact, and talk to Mr.Ing when we give him our planner we can be like "good morning. How's your day so far?" I thought we had time cards because of our past experiences. Mr.Ing said the time didn't even matter, he said it's to have interaction while we are waiting for our planners to be signed. I think that reason was good. It was straight out simple. Each change has a message and reason behind it.

Change number 8- Late notices from library = probation

Change number 8- Late notices from library = probation. This rules is here because people take their library books for granted, and don't return their books on the due dates when they are suppost to. Sometimes they just wait for their "love letters" and forget their library book. This is a good change because it makes us be more responsible for turning our library books on time. I remember we are a reflection of Mr.Ing, and Mr.Ing isn't a person to forget things, Mr.ing is a great role model to me, in my opinion. he has taught me many things that will live with me throughtout my life. He's a good role model to us, and we should be great role models to the students here in Ilima. Maybe if we turn in our books on time more people will start to follow us. I think late notices from library = probation because it's like you coming late for your job. The book represents you and the library helper is "Mr.ing". You turn in your library books late, you take the consequence. These rules are just here to help us become more responsible and better leaders. I think this is a good change because because it helps all of us be more aware of deadlines, and dues coming up. Also it teaches us to be more responsible for the things we borrow. All these 8 changes aren't bad. They help us, I hope in the future there won't be more problems, my goal is to have no problems at all. Leadership isn't about having many problems that aren't as important. It's about team work. Let's see what 3rd quarter has in store for us.

Change number 7- Weekly grade checks

Change number 7- Weekly grade checks. This rule is here because some people in the past haven't been keeping up with their grades. How this change works is we will have weekly grade checks which our teachers from every period has to sign, but also our parents. I remember the last time we did a progress report for leadership. I got all pluses, and good comments because I was doing good in all there classes, and I don't accept grades lower than a B. My grades are usually A's or B's. We are not allowed to have D's or F's. I like this rule because we get to see how we are doing in all our classes weekly. This is a good oppourtunity because not everyone in Ilima can have grade checks weekly and see how they are doing in their classes. I also like this change because it motivates me to do very good in my classes. It is also a good change because it's a wake up call to the people who take there grades for granted. You should try your best in all of your classes and wake up because this is reality. This change should stay because it helps everyone in leadership keep up with their work. How this weekly grade checks helped me is, it helped me strive to do better in my classes, I hope tthis quarter I will get stariaght A's and make myself proud. I can say these weekly grade checks payed off, and helped me to do my best in everything I do. This change should stay because it's helping a lot of us with our grades, but it's also helping us stay away from probation. These changes will help us a lot this quarter, and hopefully for the rest of the year.

Change number 6- First 15 minutes belong to planner

Change number 6- First 15 minutes belong to planner. I think this change is here because when Mr.Ing is trying to talk and fight for our attention, we just talk over him. And, when it's our turn to talk Mr.Ing gives his full attention to us, and we don't even notice it. I realize that sometimes we can be selfish by talking to eachother and not even having Mr.ing talk for a minute. How this change works is when we have leadership, homeroom, advisory,  or class period. Mr.Ing has the 15 minutes to himself, and that's when we take out our planners. Listen to the announcments he says, any news happening or anything we all have our eyes and ears on mr.ing with our planners open and ready. I like this change because it affects everyone in a positive way. This affects us by, listening to the new announcments, and what's going to happen. If Mr.Ing didn't make this change we wouldn't really know what's going to happen. I think this rule helped all of us be more open to Mr.ing, it's like a disscussion. I like this rule because Mr.ing is telling us more things, and making sure we understand it. I think this change is useful because we are writting the announcments Mr.ing is saying a putting it into our plaanners to remind us. This rule affects everyone becuase Mr.ing is spending his time during homeroom, and we are giving our time. I also think this rule is here because when Mr.ing is talking and just trying to get our attention, we are doing homework, or other things instead of spending time as a leadership class. I get why Mr.ing was going to get rid of reading and writting in this class because we are to busy doing our things, it doesn't even look like we want to be here. I understand why this rule is here, and I actually like this rule.

Change number 5- Time cards

Change number 5- Time cards. These rules have been applyed and we have been notified about them around at the end of winter break. Change number 5 is the change that i'm use to, I am also use to the other one also. How this change works is you have to give your planner to Mr.Ing, who signs it and writes the time you came to your leadership job. For example I have Tv this week, I have to give Mr.Ing my planner when I come to school, so he can sign my planner and write the time for my leadership job. You are not allowed to work until Mr.Ing signs your planner. If Mr.Ing isn't here to sign your planner and imagine he's at the office, you just write the time you came and just go to your job. This rule apply's during wiki also, pretened you have ID's you have to get your planner signed to start working. This change affected me. This change made me become more aware of what time I get to my job. This job helps me more with my time managment, and makes me be more responsible on what time I get to school. If you are later than 7:15 AM you are put into probation. The fear I have for every change is messing up, and going to probation. I never been on probation, and I never ever plan on going on probation. Every change we have there is a consequence. The consequence helps us learn not to do this mistake, and follow directions. Time cards, isn't a really difficult change at times, we just have to learn to accept the changes and follow along with it, maybe in the future if we become better at following directions, and don't make careless mistakes these rules wouldn't have been here in the first place.   

Change number 4- Weekly AR

Another change we have is change number 4- Weekly AR. This change is here because last quarter some people chose to finish their AR's at the last minute. One of the people who didn't finish their ar earlier, during the winter fair we lost a worker because the person was reading inside of A101. When we got our AR points that we have to reach we have to divide it by 7, and what points it comes up to, thats the points that you have reach weekly. My points were 28.5 and now I have to read books around 4-5 points every week to reach my Ar weekly goals. I like this change because it motivates us all to read more, and reading is good for us. Also it helps us not to be procasinaters. Ever since this rules came in I seen more people reading and visting the library more often. This change made a impact on my life. It helped my time managment more. Last quarter I did my ar early because I enjoy reading, and I still do. I like how this change is weekly because it helps us finish our ar faster, and not wait at the last minute. We don't have to worry about it later on this quarter when we are busy and doing other things. This rule has been going on that if you don't finish your AR goal before the deadline you get kicked out of leadership. That saying motivates us to do our AR not at the last minute, because no one wants to get kicked out. In the future these changes will pay off, because we will learn from the mistakes we made in the past and learn to accept it, not run away from it. I think having points due weekly will help us finish our goals faster and reading daily.  

Change number 3- Probation: Late for work, Missed a due date

Change number 3- Probation: Late for work, Missed a due date. We are suppost to be at our leadership jobs before or at 7:15 AM and nor later than that. Also this apply's to jobs during wiki and lunch. That's why know we have these cards to show to our teachers that we can be excused so that we are not late to our jobs. It may sound strict but because some of us choose to come late, we all have to deal with this change. Probation is when you can't work because you broke a change in this case, and when you are on probation and you don't make an effort to get off from it, your going to be rolling like a snow ball, that you'll have all this pressure on you, and you might even have second thoughts. I already saw one person experience this. There was actually 7 people on probation last week. I wasn't one of them.  Mr.Ing said last week "Won't you rather be in a place where your happy then, being somewhere else where your not." that's true but in my opinion I rather be here, I belong here and i'm staying. You can be on probation from late for work, one of the people from my group was mostly late, and he got put into probation. Another way you can be put into probation is, missed a due date. The second change was due dates will be through webgrader. For example if you never check webgrader and there was things due, you would of been put on probation already. These changes are not difficult, if you make it difficult. I just follow the changes and directions. I never got on probation and I don't plan on being on probation. I think these rules are helping us have less problems. These rules are helping me be more responsible with  everything I do. What I have been doing a lot lately is, checking webgrader daily and coming school more earlier than I usually did last year. These rules helped me form into a better leader. I hope in the future we will learn from all these changes and have less problems. I admit this year's leadership is different from last years, but these different things are helping me learn more.

Change number 2- Due dates through webgrader

Change number 2- Due dates through webgrader, now you know what change number one is lets get to know what change number is like. Due dates through webgrader as I said during change number one, these rules apply to everyone. This change is here because in the past when Mr.ing would tell us oraly what the dates and deadlines were some people would just be careless and "Forget". I agree with this rule. In my opinion I don't think Mr.Ing should waste his voice and time on some people who aren't even going to listen or follow his directions. What I like about this rule is it helps us not to be forgetful and helps us be more caution on deadlines. It helps us do our work on time, and mostly to help us become more aware on due dates. Ever since this change has come I have been cheching webgrader more often, that's a good things because while i'm checking what's due, and what's happening. I can be checking my grades in my other classes to see how I am doing, or what I'm going to be working on in class, and that can help me in the other change with weekly progress reports. This change is here to make us be more responsible with the deadlines. These changes are here because we created them from our pass experiences. In my opinion do I like this changes? yes. I like all of the changes that are here because it makes us be more aware on what we do. It makes me realize, I am very lucky and blessed to be in leadership. I hope in the future this second change can help us be more responsible, and be ebtter leaders.

Change Number 1- Lunch time.

Change number 1- Lunch time, We either had an option to stay in A101 during lunch or you got the option to stay out of A101 for the rest of this school year. This change only applyed to the 8th graders. All the 8th graders had to choose to stay in or out. All the 8th graders stayed in. I stayed in because i'm always in here, and I want to be here. Last year 8th graders didn't have an option, they had to stay out. I want to stay in A101 because it's like my home here in Ilima intermediate. All the rules apply to everyone some how, when the lunch bell rings to the late bell you and you choosed to stay in, you have to be in the room already. Also, if you chose to stay in and the doors are closed you have no other option, but to stay out. In my opinion do I like this change? Yes. Each and every one of these changes help us become more responsible for our actions. Look at the change in this way... every student here in Ilima, well most of them have to go out to lunch. Some people don't have the option to stay in, just like we do. We should be lucky Mr.ing gave us a choice, and I understand why this change is here. When we did the taken for granted essay I wrote an example of us taking A101 for granted, walking in and out of the classroom all the time and not appreciating that it's open there for us. I hope in the future we realize this change was to better us, not to make things harder. Change number one is here to help us.

Week 1-6

This week we only had 3 days of school, on tuesday me, Anne and Megan helped out Mr.Ing and I was feeling accomplished from all the things we finished. We were prepared for the beginning of quarter 3. School started on wednesday and winter break was practically over. Overall I had a great week. On wednesday during homeroom we talked about the changes. We had new rules, like time cards and bi-weekly progress reports. This week some people got on probation which affected there groups and interfere with some of there jobs. But some people overcomed them and got off probation. This week we also had schedule changing cards if they wanted to get out of leadership. Many things happened this week but it got better through out the days. Somethings we talked about was probation. We discussed how you can get off probation by picking up rubish and helping out in the library. But once you get in probation and never put effort in getting of the day your on probation, it will just keep building up and become worser for you. Mr.Ing also said "won't you rather be somewhere else where your happy, then be somewhere where you are not". In my mind I said I want to be here. I'm staying. This week my team had music, and we lost a team member for wokring this week because he didn't follow one of the changes. These changes aren't bad, they are good. They help us become more responsible and learn from our mistakes. Yes, everyone messes up. But, it's the strength you have after it's done. These changes are good for us, one example would be AR. By having points you need to succeed every week, you learn to be more responsible for AR. You don't need to procasinate and finish ar at the very last minute. Another change would be the time card. The time card helps us become more responsible for our job. It helps us be more aware of our job. Another change would be the bi-weekly progress report, this change helps us do better in our class and be successful. While the next few days pass by  I hope we are more responsible and be appreciated on what we have. Today was a great day and overall week, we ended today with a mcdonalds day. I hope next week will be better. Let's see.

Hero Oral

This morning in homeroom we all did a oral about out hero. We had to present who our hero was, introduce them, why she/he is your hero, and what did you learn from this experience. I was prepared for this day, and I had my notes to help guide me while I speak. I was proud to present my hero infront of the class because i'm really glad I have someone like my sister. One thing I liked about doing the oral was, I got to learn my leadership classmates hero's more. I got to learn who inspires and motivates them to be who they are today. I was third to present my hero, and I was glad I got an oppurtunity like this. How I presented this morning was a said a greeting which was "good morning everyone", then I introduced myself to everyone. After I introduced my hero saying what she plans on doing in the future, such as having a good career, going college and traveling the world, I told my aduience why she is my hero. I said my sister is my hero because she guides me through any type of problems, it can be school work or any other typical problem I know I can count on her for anything. I can tell my sister anything and everything and she won't judge me, she helped and impacted my life. I also said she is someone who can brighten up my day without even trying. I said sometimes we have our arguments but that's what helps our connection better. I admire my sister, and look up to her as a role model regardless of the things she says or does to me. When i'm down she is always around to help me through it. She help me become who I am today, she's not only my hero, but my big sister. What I learned while doing this activity was a hero can save the day anyday. This activity made me realize that you should be lucky someone is always there for you, you should always appreciate what you have, before it's gone. In the future I would like to do something similiar like this activity, it was enjoyable to do and fun to present.
