Freedom Writers

I learned that its not about were you or what you have it is aout how hard u work and i bad u want something. It also showed me however that people in these types of situations need help to get out of the way they are living sometimes even if they want to succeed and i learned how just by showing interest and believing in someone that they can change and be better people. Basically this movie shows how someone can make a huge difference in someones lives for the better.

The last Lecture

It was kind of depressing cuz he kept talking about how he was going to die. But it was uplifting because he was trying to show us how to live and how the way he thinks is a good way to think about society. He shows how u should always chase ur dreams and achieve your goals. Because your only as talented as you let yourself be.

My Grade

I think i should get a 65 out of a hundred. This is because I think that i have shown decent participation in this class. Also i have been involved in a few of the projects and am now working on the overnight with Ms Matches.

Character Development

Mrs K in grade 7 really had a positive influence on my development because she was the type of person who really pushed me to be out there and play sports and become the person that I am today. If it had not have been for her i would have even less of a drive to succeed then i do now. So i feel that she was a person in my life that has greatly affected me and has drove me to be a better person then i would have been otherwise.

Nigeria #1 US #16

this goes to show that it is not material wealth that trully allows people to be happy but a sense of belonging or some other force. If the opposite was true Americans being one of the wealthiest countries would be ranked a lot higher then it is.

Me 2 We Assemble

This was a good assemble and it really showed us what we as a group are doing to help as well as showing us what it is like in the country that we are happening and why our help and Me 2 We is so vital in these desolate areas. I also liked how they had actually speakers who new waht was going on from stuff other then pictures and how it was actually a life experience.

Suicide Play

It was a good play with a good message and it also kept you interested when u watched it. It wasnt as lame as a lot of the other ones on like bullying and stuff have been. It did i good job in showing us the problems in a subtle way but also allowing us to actually have to think about the situation
