Christian's+reflections

Welcome to St Mary's Campus, Semester 2 2011.During your time @ St Mary's you will have a range of tasks to complete as part of the Wikispaces assessment task.In order to make things happen!! I ask that each individual 9 BROWN class member create their own page in the 'SMC Reflections page' and put your name to it.When you have created this page can you please copy and paste the following questions on to your page.We will discuss this further in terms of expectations etc during class. I will also issue you a Wiki rubric that will further outline the expectations. Please note the following Reflections and Discussion Posts need to be completed by FRIDAY 23rd SEPTEMBER. We will continue to use the Wiki beyond this date as a communication tool.Regards Ms Kays 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 piece of advice i've ever recieved was from my mum which was "Make sure to look back on the people who helped you throughout your life" which basically means that say you achieved something really great like become a famous novelist or an actor etc. make sure you don't just walk pass and ignore the people who helped you achieve your goal, you wouldn't want them to do that to you. Somehow show to them that you appreciate their help and also help them achieve their goals. 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 ground it wouldn't look like it will do alot of harm to our environment but maybe it will for example; if i threw a rotten tomato on the ground, animals that live nearby might eat it and get sick and then die. If everyone threw rubbish on the ground then it will do a massive damage to our environment which we'd want to avoid as much as possible. You just don't know what will happen if you threw a rubbish on the ground even if it's just one small piece of rubbish, it might do more than what you would of thought. And our environment will obviously get destroyed and not only the environment will suffer but also the people and animals especially if the trees die we won't have much oxygen and less food for the animals. We want to avoid these situations as much as possible so that's why we try to preserve our environment as much as possible. 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?  ‍‍ If i saw a friend cheating, I would assess the situation first and not scold him or her. If i think the person is cheating because she only have one chance left and if she uses up that chance she will fail then I won't do or say anything that would make the person depress and worry about. However, it's still not right to just let my friend cheat but I won't report to the teacher or he or her parents instead I will do everything to help my friend so he or she won't have to cheat anymore. Courage means standing up for what you believe in that would bring good impact on your relationship with someone or yourself. Courage isn't just about fighting with someone to see whos stronger, you can be a courageous person by even doing simple things like expressing what you want to say or even try to make friends. What makes a good friend is being respectful and kind to your friend and making a strong bond by supporting each other and ensuring neither of you will feel left out or taken advantage of. ‍‍  What is your most indispensable possession and why? I'd say knowledge is the most precious possession of mine because without it, I won't go anywhere in the future and end up living in the streets begging for food and money. I'd want to learn as much as possible so I can accomplish my goal to become a nurse or even a doctor. Also if I don't have the required knowledge to even get a good job like a nurse or doctor then I won't be able to repay my family for the efforts they've given to raise me and send me to a good school. I want to be able to get a good job so I can make my family proud of me so that's why knowledge is an important possesion for me.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">What do you think about people polluting the environment? <span style="color: #ed31cb; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">I think it is terrible that there are people who continously pollute our environment, although some i can understand why they're polluting. Some people just don't have a choice and pollute like fishermen for example. Fishermen are usually low educated and their only choice to make money is to do fishing and some may have a burning passion to be a fisherman. Cars are a big source of pollution but it can't be help to not to use one of those useful cars that can transport people to their destinations easily. Although not everyone who pollute have a good reason to do so, some are just plain ignorant and don't care about the environment and just pollute as much as they please. Overall, what i think about people polluting is bad but there are cases when it just can't be helped. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">How do you feel when you do something wrong?How do you feel when you do something that is very good? <span style="color: #ca32f1; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">When I do something wrong, I feel really guilty and depressed and have this urge to do something to fix the problem or issue and I won't stop until what I did wrong is fixed. Sometimes I get angry of my mum because she just bust in my room while i'm doing my homeworks so I just ignore her when she is talking to me. And then she will get sad and just leave the room. When that happens, I get really guilty and sad so I do things that will cheer her up like make her a cup of coffee or a snack to make her feel better. When I do something very good, I feel so overjoyed and happy for myself the fact that i've accomplished something amazing like when I was year 6, i keep getting ribbons and certificates for my works. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">I wish there was a law that said... This would be a good law because... <span style="color: #8506f4; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">I wish there was a law that said "Consequences for polluting is to pay money depending on how serious the pollution is and failure to do so is to do clean up duty". This would be a good law because then people would be more sensible and show more care to our environment leaving less pollution. This will be great because it will also make our environment even cleaner when someone do happen to disobey that law then they would have to do clean up duty and basically be forced to clean certain areas which just means that rubbish on our environment will be picked up lessening the harmful effects. This will also prevent animals from dieing due to pollution people are making. Also, the person who's doing clean up duty will be followeed by police or whatever to ensure that they are doing what they're suppose to be doing and not run away otherwise the whole law thing will be pointless. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">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: #0c74e4; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">When I am angry, I just lay on my bed and sleep hoping that when I wake up, my anger will dissapear. Usually when i'm angry I look really ugly and will obviously be in a "P" mood and will throw things around. However if I am angry because I am guilty when I would have to settle things straight away so everything will be fixed. I am happiest when I see my friends and family safe and healthy. I feel proud everytime I accomplish something that is hard to accomplish like get 100% in a test or be able to do something that i've never done before. I usually feel lonely when I get into an arguement with either my friends or family because usually when I get into an arguement with someone especially if it's a friend or family member, I just walk away and let the situation cool down but while i'm waiting i feel lonely and sad at the same time because i don't like being in an arguement with someone and would rather be with the person. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Which quality do you dislike most about yourself - laziness, selfishness, childishness - and why? <span style="color: #a0d219; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">The quality that I dislike the most about myself is when I can't get someone who is sad to be happy because i'm afraid that I might make the person even sadder so often I just lay off even though I want to make that person smile. However, even though I can't talk to the the person who is sad, I'd do a simple thing like give the person a cupcake or a letter hoping that it'd be enough to cheer the person up even just a tad bit and walk off straight away. I remember the time when i was year 6, I saw my teacher crying and I got really worried so I tried to talk to her but she just told me to go away as I can't do anything to cheer her up because i'm just a kid and i felt sort of sad and guilty and thought that I just made the situation worse and made her even more sadder and angrier so I just walked off. When I got home, my mum told me I didn't make the situation worse and it's just that my teacher was probably just tired or might wanted to be left alone which made me less sad. I still hoped i could of done something to make her happy, I couldn't send her a cupcake or something like that at the time because I didn't know where she lives and as my mum said, she might wanted to be left alone. So since then when i see someone sad, I just try to not say anything afraid that I might make the situation worse but then I still try to do simple things like send them a letter or something hoping it could cheer them up. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Why do you think prejudice exists in the world? <span style="color: #f0195e; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">I think prejudice exist in this world because there are people who just judge others without knowing them better. Some who are prejudice can't be blamed for being one because they may be low educated or have a disability of some sort. However, some who are prejudice and are educated are pathetic in my opinion because they shouldn't just judge someone when they don't specifically know that person well like spread rumours about the person when the rumours aren't even true or hating the person because you don't like how that person acts even though the person is acting pretty normal and harmless, these type of people are usually insecure and jealous of the person they're hating. Furthermore, I guess it's normal since everyone has their own opinions and attitude. Mostly it exists because of insecurity and jealousy of people.
