Chloe's+Reflection+Page

Reflections Each student will build their own page for the puposes 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 make a relection about your experiences. Each reflection is expected to at least 200 words in length.

The topic or questions you are asked to reflect on at listed below. Copy these questions to your individual reflection page.

Week 1
What is the best piece of advice you have ever received? The best piece of advice I have ever recieved is to never give up and keep trying. Because when it is starting to feel like it's impossible or can't do it, you have to find something that will motivate you and hopefully it will keep you from giving up. No matter how hard it is, just keep trying because usually it will all be worth it afterwards. The reward will be worth the hard work and you'll feel proud of the achievement. The harder things are, the better you'll feel afterwards. It could be like conquering a fear or trying new and different things. Because of this advice I have conquered many of my fears, and its great because then I could look back to it, and say I've done that. Im proud of my achievment. It feels horrible looking back and thinking, I should have done that, I regret not doing that. Trying something is much better than doing nothing at all. Because nothing great is ever easy, so the harder its getting, don't give up, because it'll turn into something wonderful. And one day you'll look back to it, and turn around to someone and say, I've done that.

Week 2
What would happen if you threw a piece of trash on the ground? What if everyone did? If everyone would have threw a piece of trash on the ground, it would affect in alot of different ways. One way it would affect is the sea creatures living in the ocean. It would affect their health and possible die from it. Like plastic bags, they look just like jellyfishes, and turtles eat jellyfishes, so they will choke from the plastic bags. Other things like a plastic six-pack holder that people litter can end up in the ocean and suffocate many of the animals in the ocean. Another way is that it could affect our health. Alot of litter on the ground can release many chemicals, and we could suffer from it like asthma and lung disease. If everyone threw a piece of trash on the ground it won't make our world very nice looking. The would be rubbish around our streets and cities, and it won't be very nice to walk through our cities from all of the rubbish and pollution. It won't be a very good looking world if all of the nice scenery and greenery will be hidden from all of trash. Week 3 What would you do if you saw a friend cheating - report it, confront the friend or nothing - and why? If I saw a friend cheating I would probably do nothing. But it depends though, if it wasn't too bad I wouldn't have done anything. Because it is usually their own problem and not mine. If they are cheating they are only cheating themselves.

What do you think courage means? Courage means to be brave and to stand up for something that you believe in. If you were set in a situation and it feels impossible, but try to conquer it, that is courage. It is to be brave and courageous and heroic. It is about being bold and fearless, believing that you can do anything.

What do you think makes a good friend? Someone that listens to your problems and needs. A good friend is someone who gives advices to you and being honest about anything. They are the ones who encourages you to do things and what not to when they feel like its not a good idea. They're their for you when things are feeling low and when you're not feeling the best. They are there to back you up and to stand up for you when you need support. This is what makes a good friend.

Week 4
What is your most indispensable possession and why? My most indispensable possession is my art stuff. This is because I love sketching and painting, it's a way for me to escape from things that are bothering me. It's a peaceful way to relax myself and to do nothing but paint and sketch. Its a great way to go outdoors, and look at the beautiful sceneries and getting away from electronics and technology. Without my arts it would be hard for me to relax myself and would be stressed out alot more often. I would usually paint and sketch with a nice cup of tea when its a time of stress and want to relax.

**Week 5**
What do you think about people polluting the environment? If I saw people littering just a little bit, I wouldn't really care that much because its there own business. But when I drive past to a power plant and see all of the air pollution I think its disgusting and really bad for the environment. I think that the people that is responsible for the pollution might not know how bad it is affecting the environment than they realise. I think that they should know better than that and they should really think before they pollute, they should think about how it is affecting our world rather than thinking someone should pick it up after them.

Week **6**
How do you feel when you do something wrong? When I do something wrong, I usually dont realise after a while when I think about it. Afterwards I feel bad or guilty for what I did and usually think of what I should do to make things better. Sometimes it sticks to me and regret it if it was really bad but even if it was little I'd feel guilty. How do you feel when you do something that is very good? I feel proud of myself and usually praise myself by going out to go shopping or something if it was a big deal, but most of the time I jump around and scream. Sometimes if it was just little something I just smile and usually it'll make my day alot better.

Week 7
I wish there was a law that said... This would be a good law because...

Week 8
When you are angry, how do you look? When are you happiest? When have you felt lonely? When do you feel proud? When I am angry I am usually quiet because if someone was to talk to me I would usually let my anger out on them, but I learnt to control myself and stay quiet, and people usually get the point afterwards. Sometimes I keep it to myself aswell, I know it's bad to keep in emotions, but sometimes its the best because the people around me can make my day alot more happier not knowing that I am angry. I am the happiest when I usually have a good breakfast, because that usually gives me alot of energy for the day. Or when I do something great like getting a good score for an assignment/test. I am usually the happiest aswell when I am doing something that I enjoy or not doing anything stressful. I remember when I first went to MacKillop I felt really lonely because only 5 out of my primary school grade 6 when to MacKillop and I wasn't friends with anyone. I felt really lonely for a while but then I made friends not long after. I feel proud when I do something great, especially getting a good score at a test or assesment task. Because I dont usually get great scores I feel really proud when I get a score above 70%

Week 9
Which quality do you dislike most about yourself - laziness, selfishness, childishness - and why? Laziness because sometimes I'm not into the mood to do stuff and I feel really lazy. I would regret not doing it afterwards and so I am learning to push myself and keep moving around so I dont get too lazy.

Week 10
Why do you think prejudice exists in the world? Because some people think that the more money they have the better they are. They can become really selfish and the people that is "lower" suffers from them and makes they're lives alot more miserable. Prejudice exists because people don't understand that everyone is equal and that the more quality or money they have, doesn't have to seperate them from the rest of the world.
