mels+reflections.

Each student will build their own page for the purposes of Reflection. This is because when two students are using the same page at the same time the page will not save properly. Each week for 10 weeks you will need to write a reflection about your experiences and opinions about the topic. Each reflection is expected to at least 200 words in length.The topic or questions you are asked to reflect on are listed below. Copy these questions to your individual reflection page. Thank you

 * __Week 1 __**

 **__What is the best piece of advice you have ever received? __** 

 The best pieces of advice I have ever been given is probably to “ never regret anything” one of my friends said that to me when I was regretting all of choices I had made at this time. But now its one of the things I live by; if you regret everything you do and could take them back whenever you wanted you never would of learnt from your mistakes, and you wouldn’t of have had such a fun time doing it. Some of my biggest regrets at the time now are some of my best memories because you see after that it was a good time and even though thing did go wrong at the time it always sorts itself out in the end. When you are doing something that you later will regret always seem smart at the time as well but you find out it never was and you learn from that mistake you made. So I believe if you’re going to be sitting there at the end of the day saying I wonder what would happen if I had done that, make the choices to do it so later you are not sitting there and regretting how you never gave it a go.

 **__Week 2 __**

 **__What would happen if you threw a piece of trash on the ground? What if everyone did? __**

 If I threw a piece of rubbish on the floor it wouldn’t be such a big problem at the beginning but after a while all that rubbish would soon build up and caurse a problem in the world, that is why it would be a very big problem if everyone in the world started to litter and stop using rubbish bins or recycle bins. Another big problem would be all the populating in the world would be extremely bad and would kill off a lot of our marine life and all the life on earth and if they all died it would recon the circle of life. It would also end up caring lots of desiges so people would become extremely sick much easer. That is why we shouldn’t liter and we should use our bins and recycle bins.

 **__Week 3 __**

 **__What would you do if you saw a friend cheating - report it, confront the friend or nothing - and why? What do you think courage means? What do you think makes a good friend? __**

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> it would depend what the friend was cheating on if I confronted them to tell you the truth, if I saw a friend cheating on a test I would most likely not doing anything to them or say anything because everyone needs help sometimes even if it is a test they might not have got an opportunities to study for this test because they could have had other commitments, But if a friend had a boyfriend or a girlfriend that they were cheating on I would confront them and ask them why they would do this to the person for and I would tell them to tell the person they were going out with and if they didn’t after a couple of days I would go to the person that was being cheated on and tell them so they didn’t get lead on for too long.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> I think courage means to brave and also to stand up to what you believe in and not letting anybody tell you different. I also think it means that you can stand up to your fears and look it in the eye and give it all you got.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> What I think makes a good friend is someone that you can trust with everything and they will never let you down and they will always be by your side. A true friend would also never talk about you behind your back and would accept any of your faults and learn to live with that, that what I think a true friend is.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> **__<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Week 4 __** <span class="apple-converted-space" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> **__<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">What is your most indispensable possession and why? __**

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I would have to probably say my ipod because I don’t believe that you can own people as in friends of family you have to earn them in some way or another. My ipod is my most indispensable to me because of what it lets me do. On my ipod I can talk to people on facebook I can listen to music and I can play games when I get bored to be honest I am on my ipod pretty much every day at least listening to music because i actually haven’t gone a day without music in a long time and my ipod always has music. It also helps out a lot when I don’t have credit because I can still talk to people on it and its for free like that.


 * __<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Week 5 __**

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> **__<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">What do you think about people polluting the environment? __**

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> I don’t think polluting is right for anything but at the end of the day thing we need and use every day is polluting this world. Something we can’t help that we are polluting like we do need transport for every day like and that is polluting but if we didn’t have it would make our lives a lot harder. I believe transport should be cut back and people should be taking more things like trains, buses, trams, bikes etc but this all still pollutes the environment and I don’t believe this will ever change because we need all these things to get around and not many people are going to go back to walking ever where but I do believe that our transport should be cut back.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> **__<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Week 6 __**

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> **__<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">How do you feel when you do something wrong? How do you feel when you do something that is very good? __**

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> When I do something bad I generally fill kind of guilty and bad about what has happen, it always a really bad feeling I also generally wish that I could take it back so it never happened like if I hurt someone I feel bad for what I have done to them and wish I could go back in time and take it back so that I never had hurt them in the first places. But if you could take back everything bad you had done in your life you would never learn anything from your mistakes and you would have learnt all the things that you know today.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> When I make a good decision or the right choices it generally makes me feel good about myself and it is always a good feeling, for example when you pass on a test with really high marks that you were not sure how you were going to do but you end up doing a really good job. Or when you do something for someone else that wasn’t expecting it, that also makes me feel good.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> **__<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Week 7 __**

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> **__<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">I wish there was a law that said... This would be a good law because... __**

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> I wish there was a law that made it so student didn’t have to get any homework unless its completely needed because we go to school for 6 to 7 hours a day and that’s up to 35 hours a week we shouldn’t have to be doing more work out of those hours. Most full time jobs go for all of 8 to 9 hours which is not that much more than a school day and people who work full days generally don’t get work after hours unless it is needed. I also believe in this because most people these days have activities after school or work. We should be made to put those thing off for homework. Also as teenagers we are meant to get at least 8 hours of sleep witch doesn’t always happen because we are made to stay up late to do homework also most of the homework we get, we will never really need in life such as this homework, to me its kinda pointless because this is not going to help us with our life in the future or now.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> **__<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">When you are angry, how do you look? When are you happiest? When have you felt lonely? When do you feel proud? __**

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> When I get really angry at something or someone I generally look angry, but I don’t really know what I look like when I am angry because I don’t look at myself when I am angry. The time I am most happiest is when I am with friends or family and doing something I never have before that is fun and exciting, im los at my happiest when I am at the beach because I love to surf and swim there and running is another time I am most happiest. I generally feel at my loneliest when I am by myself because I am not with any one and when I am upset because I don’t like to be around people. The times I have felt most proud is when I have done something I thought I couldn’t before but have proved myself wrong and gone and done it.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> **__<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Week 9 __**

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> **__<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Which quality do you dislike most about yourself - laziness, selfishness, childishness - and why? __**

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> The quality I dislike about myself is that I can be lazy and I find it really easy to put things off. I hate that someday I just can’t be bothered with things even if they are good thing I use to play soccer and loved it but there were days that I just felt to lazy to put in all my effort of running and now I would do anything to be able to run properly again and I also hate that I put thing off because I generally put homework off at end up having to do heaps of work just before it is due because I would rather be out with friends then doing homework so I leave thing to the last minute and get stressed about if I am going to finish it or not.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> **__<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Week 10 __**

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> **__<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Why do you think prejudice exists in the world __**?

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I think that prejudice or prejudging is just what people have started to accept in everyday life. I hate it so much when people prejudge others I am not saying I don’t do it but I don’t do it as much as some people, people have started to be more prejudice these days because more people excepted who they are more and it lots of different ways. People who wear thing that are different are judge and treated like out casts just because of what people see on the outside. I don’t believe people can say any more that only the insides count because people judge you the second the meat you on who you are and by what you wear even before know anything about the person. For a person now who was gay it would be extremely hard coming out I think because people would forget everything about that person and only look at the point that they are gay, if a person with a disability came over to you a lot of people would laugh and call them names because that they are different but know body can help it. That is why I am agents prejudice because can hurt other people around without know. For example calling someone with special needs a name to someone that knows someone with special needs it could seriously have an effect on them that I s why I hat prejudice. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">
