Speak Truth to Power

Speak Truth to Power- Now the speak truth to power project i was not there for the whole project. I ended up getting my wisdom teeth out and i was not in school for a couple days. The project was based on choosing somebody who tries fighting for something really important to them. The person Chase and I chose was Elie Wiesel. He was a holocaust survivor from WWII. He was in Auschwitz for some time but he was lucky to be saved by the Americans. He wrote a book called Night. He wanted to make sure what happened in WWII would never happen again. He was tortured back during the Holocaust and he had to go through very harsh punishments that are just not acceptable and cruel. Elie wanted to make sure there would never be any more extermination of large groups of people. We did the project to get more information on what people fight for. It would have been good though to be here for the project because i would have learned a lot more. I wasn't able to learn too much due to the fact I was not present for the project.

K-5 Reflection

K-5 Reflection- My time in kindergarten through 5 th grade was a breeze. Kindergarten was the easiest. I don’t really remember much of what happened in kindergarten but it was easy. All we had to do was draw and do very tiny things. During kindergarten was when I met my best friend Payton. I have been best friends with him for many years now. But during those years, I always went to day care in the morning and that was honestly the highlight of my day all the time when I was younger. That’s all I ever wanted to do was go to day care. 3 rd grade seemed to be difficult at the time because we started to get homework and I never liked to do homework. I still barely do my homework. Out of all the grades 5 th grade was probably the best. Our teacher was the best teacher there was. Our teacher Mrs. Ciezki was the best. She was a very nice teacher. We were always able to have fun with her and just joke around and have fun. I remember one time when the class actually locked her out of the c...

Survival

Survival- The survival unit was interesting. I liked the unit because we were able to watch survivor man. The unit taught us about the importance of having good survival skills in certain situations. Les Stroud from survivor man has a lot of survival skills. We also read a couple books. I was assigned to the Book Unbroken. The book was about Louis Zamperini from WWII. He was a hero in WWII who survived from a japanese prisoner of war camp. He was a POW for a few years during the war. Louis was a great hero. During his time of being a POW he was really strong. It's good to have strong as a character trait. If there is a time you are not strong in a survival situation then it's harder to survive. Louis had a very good will to survive as a POW even though he was tortured, beaten and starved. He was used as slave labor also in the camps.

9-12 Reflection

9-12 Reflection- This is the most important time of my life. This is where everything went down. I had a lot of rough spots during this time but I was able to get through it all thankfully. 9 th   grade was a rough spot. I did fail 2 classes which did not end well for me. I had to retake the classes sophomore year which made my life a little more stressful. I should’ve focused a lot more freshman year but too late now. 10 th   grade wasn’t too terrible. Besides the point of having to make up classes that I failed in the past, it really wasn’t that bad. But Junior year is when I started getting better. I focused a tad bit more. I was able to get through school, I got my permit and my license and I was able to meet my girlfriend. Junior year was a very great year for me. Senior year though is the big year. It went by so fast. I can’t believe I am graduating this year. It has been quite an adventure to get through everything. Soon I will be graduated and starting a new chapter o...
