Monarch Collegiate

It is funny how a school who has so much diversity can come together when other countries are in need and fund 32 000 dollar to help out other countries. I think we can learn from this school that not to look at just how you can help yourself but how you can help others to. To make their life better.

Belonging

I think my group of friends is where i feel most belonging there is about 6 of us who hang out and we tell each other alot of things we dont fight much at all and when we do we resolve things fast. I believe that i can trust these boys to have my back when i am in trouble or need someone to talk to it gives you that sense of belonging.

Zebra

These lesson show that one person is no match for a bunch of people. If you stick together then you will be more likely to achieve your goals then if your on your own. This is shown when the scientists put the spots on the zebra and the lions would pick out the ones with spots because they can destinguish between one zebra and another. But when all huddled in a group it is hard to tell where one zebra ends and another starts.

Kim Story

I think Kim story is the most moving becasue she never gave up at the start not many people were interested in the idea to stop child labour. So she researched more and became more knowledable on the subject. To get 6000 signature is a huge accomplishment and to get the media coverage to inform other about child labour i think she is just awesome for doing that.

True Colours

I think this true colour excersise cna really help you when you are studying you no how you learn best which can make you a better student if you know how to learn. And also you can see what other poeple colours are and if you know there strengh and weakness you know what to say and what not to say.

Redefination of Happiness

I think this is the easiest way to think We. That believeing that what you have does not make up the person you are and we are all special in our own way. No matter what job your parents have, where you live, or how much money you have. We are not that much different everyone has similarities and everyone has differences it how you except other is how you will be able to think we and not me.

Voilence Prevention

I think the best way to show people how voilent realionships affect people is by showing them in a play and capturing the audience eye. My workshop went alright the kids talked alot of the bully but did not really get the whole meaning of the video. The games they did well in. The UWO students were good and lead the workshop very well.

Halloween week

I think that halloween week was not very organized we did not no what we were doing till the day of the activity. We kinda flew by the seat of our pants and certain people tried to run all of the actvities or cancel them. Dylan and I planned the one pumpkin bowl that day and we worked hard on the haunted house and overall the week turned out alright it could of been better but it turned in to a run week.

Romancing the Soul

I think this is so true people are power hungry and to have power you must have money. And money makes people happy. I agree with this i think that people should care about other more and families should stick together it is true that one person can not change the world but if we all work together we can make a difference.

Surviving Surivour

This guy who was on survivour he voted him self off the island and the chance to win the million dollar prize. He then set out on a life long journey to find happness within himself. He got feed up with the North American people asking him for interviews and commericals that he moved to Equador where the people there have not heard of Surviour nor care if he was a contestant. It just amazes me the joy that people get from vistiting and helping other people and how open these people are to letting a stranger in to there house.

Rain in Kenya

I think this is so funny that in North America when it rains people always run for cover but in Kenya where they do not have alot of possensions. When it rains they celebrate and dance in the rain. I like how these people can get so much excitment from something as simple as rain. It just goes to show how we take alot of what we have for granite and for the people in Kenya and Equador they are always happy and rejoice in something as simple as rain.

Tim Story

I really enjoyed reading about Tim's story he was this guy who was self absorbed in his own life but when volunteered at a hospital for diabled kids. It opened his eyes to the energy that these people had even tho most of them could not talk he felt the energy between him and the kids. Then when he became diagnosed with a diesease that took his eye sight he went back to the kids that he helped and they helped him so he could still paint his pictures.

Card Game

The card game was not the coolest becasue i was a low card so no one would talk to me it sucked

Blade Runner

I think it is awesome that this guy can do so well with only half of his legs. It just goes to show people that you can do what ever any able bodied person can do as her shows becasue he came in second place. It shows that all people are equal no matter how you look

Rosetta

I think this story is trying to tell us be happy with the people your around with you will live a better and more full life. It is proven that the people of Rossetta lived longer becasue they were nice to each other in the streets and they also sat and laughed together. I think if all community were like this then our world would be a better place. They have proven that it is better if your just friendly to the people around you

Rich and Poor

500 i would invest it so it grew and i could have more money in the future

5000 i would buy a car or i would put it in stock

5000000 invest some in a company and buy a nice house and car and go on a vacation

Bible Kids

I think it is important that the 10% stopped they were in a rush to get to class but they were doing a lesson on a good samaritain. It just shows that people speak and do not do. It just shows that people are followers and it takes a strong person to vere off the path and create there own path to live by.

Randy Paush

Randy Paush is a guy who is terminal ill and is dying but he does not care he is going to die. He has inspires so many people to live life to the fullest and don't be worried to die. This guy has the most energy for a dying guy i have ever seen. It kinda inspires me to live me to live my life to the fullest

Fall Clean Up

On Wednesday i am going with dylan to his grandma to rake her leaves and we are getting paided in breakfast

Attitude

I think attitude has alot to with how well you will do with something. If you have a poor attitude going in to something then your outcome is going to be poor. But if you go in thinking positivly then you are more likely to come out on the better side of things. That WLC was something to help kids see that we can make a diffence in life and we can accopmplish.

J Mac

I think what we can bring to this is if given a chance people can succeed and like in this the unbeliavable happend and he sunk six 3 pointers. I think it shows that no matter what people look like or if they have a problem or disablitly anyone can achieve greatness

Stats

After reading that i'm very surprised that alomsot 80% of people have completed that survey. People have became so unpersonal now if it does not some how satify them they will not do the job. It is hard to even to find people to help you do something without paying them some how. But when people do this it surprises me in a good way that people took the time to fill out the survey.

Keith Story

Keith is a guy that had big dreams but did not have to the money to make those dreams a reallity. He created a foundation to help other in need with the money problems. Keith is not a wealthy guy he is just someone that wants to make a difference in people lives. i think what he is doing is such a nice gesture. He has changed so many people lives.

Canada Flag

I thought this assingment was fun although not every one particapated the same they were given the same chance to particapate. I think our flag was unique becasue we had our hands with our name on it like we are all together. What could of been better is there being more planning then everyone would be given a job so people were not doing something.

Kim Story

This story is one that is really meaningfull this little girl who had been a victim of war was saved by these journalists after she was almost burned to death. After looking back she was not mad at the people that had done this to her she was just glad to be alive. And I dont think that we could say we would do that if someone did this to us. We would have to beat them up or threaten them or make them go through the pain of what we had to go through. But she was not like this she was going to change that and help the people like her who have been hurt by war and give them a second chance as she had been given one.

Marc Story

Kim story is of a girl who would never of thought to go on a trip to Thailand and help people in need. She thought she had her dream job until a politican asked her a question that got her thinking about what she was really doing in life. She then was off to Thailand to help the people in need and was surprised to find the mess these people had been living in. Within the first week of arriving she was running the whole med unit by herself and never having medical training she was quite shocked to be doing so. This trip open Kim's eyes to a whole different world she had never seen before.

Craig Story

I think it is amazing that a 12 year old boy wants to make so much of a difference in the world. He does not no the people he is helping before hand but that does not matter he jsut wants them to have just as good of life as he does. To inspire all those people first in his class and then the whole world to help those in need is incrediable.

Me to We

What Me to We means to me is giving what we have to the poeple who aren't as well off as us. If that means giving our knowleadge or our strength or leanding a hand to people in need. I think Me to We means think of otheres and help those who can not take on tasks by themselves. Me to We is putting other before you and realizing that people out there are battling through war disease and hardships and We as a whole can help them over come the obsticles in there path.

What IDCI means to me

IDCI what it means to me? IDCI it is not the best school I've seen. Smashed windows smells like BO. Still we are not that bad at sports. We have good coaches and alot of goods teachers. There is a wide variety of teachers which enables students to have an oppourtunity to go in to alot of different firelds of employments. So in the end IDCI means alot to me I have meet alot of good friends here.

What I want to accomplish this year in leadership

This year i want to help out aorund the school to make this year better then other years have been. I want to make school fun for people. I have already started by helping organize intramurals and an a prefect.
