The Bridge Between 5 months

Already 5 months has passed since I came to middle school. I chose 16 words which best describes my first 5 months in middle school. I chose these words because they are the words that best describe my first 5months in middle school. There was much changes in middle school, I have no idea where to start! 'Locker' describes my struggling with opening my locker 5months ago I opened my locker with the instructions next to me trying again and again and again but now it's scripe, scripe, scripe click! done! I couldn't have ever imagined how easily I open my locker now, it is a good thing to know that I don't have to stress out every time I open my locker. 'Homework' and 'Grades' best describe my nervousness when I handed in my graded works and when the teacher would hand it back a few days later. I remember the shock when I saw the ENORMOUS C- on my homework, I think that nightmare was haunting me for a few weeks. 'Technology' is here because now I always use the computer and learn about them everyday, when I go to Humanities, and IT. I remember learning about Excel and Brochures. I think these words will make me realize all the change during these 5 months.

S.P.C.A. Response

We were shown a power point presentation about the S.P.C.A. and what they do. The S.P.C.A. stands for The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. After listening about 10min I honestly felt sleepy, however the presentation gave a set of images which, gave a sharp slap at my face. An image of a dog's nose chopped off by children with stones. The image of the dog's legs being hacked off was disgusting. I think it will be shocking to anyone to think that human think it appropriate to do such things. And even the animals in the S.P.C.A. 20% is adopted and the rest is killed by injection. I think that we need to care and pay attention more.

New blog entry Response

There can be many qualitites that makes the leader a real leader. I think for a person to become a leader, the followers must exept the person as a leader. So most of the qualities a leader posseses, depends on the followers. The prove that a leader depends on the followers is the fact that people are allowed to vote. I think the reason the people of American voted for Obama is his way of speech, and that is the quality he possese that makes him a leader.

Well, there are a lot of leaders to chose, because as you said, 'everyone posseses qualities of a leader.' However, if I were to chose one, (I don't know if I can chose a person who passed away) it would be Mohandas Gandhi. Gandhi had a lot of courage and kindness, and those two qualities is what I look for when in search of a leader.

My Idea of Courage

For some people, an immediate picture of ‘Courage’ is a scene involving a stuntman risking his life to do a stunt. However, my idea of courage pops out of my head in many different shapes, and forms. Courage can also be explained as ‘Doing the right’ thing’. I can admit to my teacher that I was the one who bombed the boy’s locker room (completely made up story). The consequences could be expulsion, or having to pay for the boy’s locker room (or both). It would take a lot of courage to admit that I was the culprit. Courage can be seen occasionally in daily life. That is because my next idea (form) of courage is ‘Challenging Yourself’. For example, I would have done only 5 laps in my Terry Fox run, if I gave up in the middle of the run, but I pushed myself and kept running, and eventually I got 12 laps in my Terry Fox run. Stunt men challenge themselves to overcome their fears, fire man challenge themselves to run into a burning building and save people, babies challenge themselves to sit up and talk almost everyone challenges themselves in daily life. As shown courage can be formed in other ways than a stunt man risking his life, I hope this paragraph will make courage more visible to people who read it.
