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 reflection 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? "You should always regret something, than regret not doing something." Would be a quote from one of my friends i believe this a very true piece of advice. Which reflects on my life pretty well. This is very true, because it makes me stop and think what if i didn't do the thing I wanted in the first place? it might have been the better option. I believe that you should always do something than not do it. In the past i remember i had to go down this massive water slide and i was hesitating whether to do so, I was really scared, but I did it and really had a fun time and did it for the second time. I also take advice from my parents and close friends all the time in tough times it's always good to seek the close people to you when you are in need of help. It's always important to listen to other peoples advice, you can always get something out of it and in the end you could even help them out when they need you.

Week 2
What would happen if you threw a piece of trash on the ground? What if everyone did? If myself and everyone were to throw rubbish around our school yard or in a public place the area would become very un-clean and dirty. I don't think that many people would like to be walking around with rubbish hanging from their feet and the air wouldn't be clean or fresh. People not making the effort to help our environment by picking up their rubbish and putting it in the bin would cause much damage to the environment. If you're in a public place or the school yard and you were to just drop your rubbish anywhere without a care it would show how much you really care about the world around us. I'm sure most people wouldn't like to see rubbish scattered around them all the time it wouldn't be a nice sight.

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 honestly do nothing because it's their problem and i wouldn't want to be involved to make it become my own issue for confronting them and saying they had cheated on a test. I know cheating isn't a good thing and no one should even need to cheat because they should explain their own answer and most likely do better from that than what they would if they copied some Else's work which could be completely the wrong information. Like I have said it's their problem if they want to cheat on a test using somebody Else's answers and not use their own knowledge which in fact could be better for them to use their own thinking skills and pass the test. I don't like the idea of cheating I think it's not good because it's not going to get them anywhere using different other peoples information and not their own. In the workforce if someone was caught cheating they could lose their job, because I'm pretty sure that the place they have employed at wants to know the real person and their own knowledge.

What do you think courage means? I believe courage means great confidence and a willingness to go out of the way to gain strength from doing something good. Courage is an honor of doing something that is risky and takes a lot of guts! I think many people in the world want to gain courage in them self and do something they believe is unimaginable.

What do you think makes a good friend? What I think makes a good friend is loyalty, respect and kindness. I believe that most of the friends i have made over the past year and the friends i've known for a while have always showed this towards me and that's what i like to find in a friendship. I don't like to find out someone is talking about me behind my back or anything like that because if i believed they were a true friend why would they do it? so like i said i like to find respect in a friendship which i believe these three qualities are very important to keep a good friendship, you will always hit a hard time with a friend but you'll always get over it and solve the issue.

Week 4
What is your most indispensable possession and why? My most indispensable possession is my IPhone, I don't believe that I could go a day without it. I use it every single day and night, It's important that i have it with me 24-7 i am constantly using it because it is highly addictive easy to text with and use for social internet such as Facebook which i keep in touch with my friends with. I don't think i could ever live without it! Although, In future when I'm older IPhones will be out of date and maybe out of site! there could be some cooler futuristic phone that has everything more! I believe that i couldn't live without foxtel either, it has all my favouite shows and movies on record and there is many programmes to choose from. I like how i can watch movies and pause them or even keep them, i don't think i could live without it at all.

**Week 5**
What do you think about people polluting the environment? I hate the fact that people are polluting the environment, Although we would all be if we don't take part in decreasing pollution in our environment. Our environment is loaded with pollution and all we can do is cut down on things which is hard and we come across pollution everyday, We see it too, Factories, Cars etc; I guess there are things being done about it and they send out the message to us that pollution is just getting worse and worse over time. I think everyone should take part in cutting down on things and see how it is without using cars for example. They have come up with Hybrid cars to help the environment and pollution but they are very expensive! I believe that pollution is a bad thing but we are the ones causing it i guess.

Week **6**
How do you feel when you do something wrong? When I do something wrong i feel bad and anxious. I don't like the idea of doing anything wrong, who does anyway? In the end everyone makes mistakes and you feel the guilt and you apologize to the person you had hurt. I don't believe that I'd ever do anything wrong because it's not in my nature to hurt or put people down. Because it makes you feel very bad and you sometimes don't know how to deal with it all. I just hope I haven't done anything wrong to anyone before because i had never been told about it! I never plan on doing something wrong at anytime in my life although like I said everyone makes mistakes we're not all perfect. How do you feel when you do something that is very good? I feel happy and over the top. Especially if i achieve something I've been working hard for or a surprise or something had come up. I love doing good, because the people around you thank you for it and it makes you feel special knowing you've done something good. I always like to be happy and enjoy my life and take each day as it comes. I love the idea of people all over the world doing good for people who are in need or just to help out.

Week 7
I wish there was a law that said... This would be a good law because... I wish there was a law that said everyone was free to marry the same gender, I strongly believe this because if you can't get married just because you are gay and like the same gender why should a rock get married? there are some crazy laws out there but this one i strongly believe should be accepted because we are all human which doesn't makes us any different they just like the same gender what's the problem with that? in the end it's not affecting out life. That's their choice, people should just let them be. I am surprised that it has taken soo long for the Australian Government to consider Gay Marriage, There are soo many silly laws that should be taken away and more sensible laws should be taken into consideration.

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'm angry, I'm usually looking sad or always making a mean face! I don't like the idea of being angry ever, but it happens, can't help it. I'm happiest when i'm around my close friends talking for hours on end and laughing at every chance! It's the best feeling people making you laugh, Also when I'm with my family i'm at my happiest because I always enjoy their company. I have felt lonely if i've had an argument with a friend or something or i just had a bad day and don't want to talk about. I feel proud if i achieve something i've been working hard for or got something for earning something. I like always being positive minded and always proud at whatever i do cause in the end i earned it.

Week 9
Which quality do you dislike most about yourself - laziness, selfishness, childishness - and why? One of the main qualities i dislike most about myself would be my laziness. I seem to procrastinate an awful lot and i have never understood why, I always say i'm going to do something but never end up doing it such as hanging out with friends or even a walk. I'd like to make myself do more, i hate my laziness that's why I'd like to make a change to it and do something better for myself. I would like to get a part-time job over the holiday break, start gym and exercise and do a lot more with my friends. I hate always procrastinating things i should just do it!

Week 10
Why do you think prejudice exists in the world? I think that prejudice exists in the world because everyone believes in something differently we don't all think the same. I guess most people make unreasonable opinions or feelings in which they want to share and not all people would agree on, which is understandable because one person could feel something is right and the other person might disagree on their opinion and tell them what they really think. Nobody's the same, we're all different and think differently.
