__What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?__
 * Week** **1**

The best piece of advice I have ever received was "it doesn't matter if you're bad at something, as long as you try you will succeed". The reason this was the best advice I have ever received is because with school I am not the best learner and not the smartest person but as long as I try and work to my full potential I will pass and maybe even get good marks. The advice also applies with sport. There have been some sports, probably all of them that when I first started them I wasn’t very good at all but I tried my hardest in all of them and over years I have become very good at them because I kept trying and trying and never gave up on it and didn’t stop until I was good and now because of all that trying its finally payed off and I am very good at soccer now but when I first started I wasn’t good, I could barely even kick the ball. That’s the same with all the sports I’ve done in the past and I’m good at all the ones I kept trying in now.

Week 2
__What would happen if you threw a piece of trash on the ground? What if everyone did?__

If I threw a piece of trash on the ground it would actually be very bad for the environment. If it was a plastic of some sort or anything I could even kill an animal that mistook it for food. If I kept throwing trash on the ground all the time we would live in a very bad environment and could kill many animals and that would not be good at all. If everyone decided to throw trash on the ground it would be so bad for the environment and would damage so much out there in the world. We would live in a terrible waste land with rubbish around everywhere if people just constantly just kept throwing rubbish on the ground and didn’t dispose of it properly. There would be many animals that would die from the rubbish and could even get endangered or extinct. It would be terrible for the environment and should never happen. People should just dispose of waste and rubbish properly and not throw it on the ground which could harm the environment quite a lot. This is why people should not throw rubbish all over the place and dispose of it properly.

Week 3
__What would you do if you saw a friend cheating - report it, confront the friend or nothing - and why?__ If i saw my friend cheating on a test or an essay or something i would not report it because if im there friend i would not tell anyone what they were doing to get them in trouble because thats what being a good friend is. If i wasnt there friend i still probably wouldnt tell anyone or a teacher about it because that would be unfair on them because there could have been someone else that was cheating in it aswell but because i didnt see them cheating or hear about it i couldnt say anything but it is also unfair on the person that they are cheating off because that person is putting in so much effort and they are just getting there work stolen off of them with out them even knowing so it is unfair on them. i wouldnt tell any teacher or anyone about it but i would advise for them not to do it again and tell them off and let them know that i saw them cheating. __What do you think courage means?__ I think courage means somebody who sets out to do something but even know the odds are against them they dont give up untill they set out to acomplish what they are meant to do. It also means somebody who has struggled to do something but they dont give up and they keep pushing and pushing untill they do what they are meant to achieve and they dont give up untill they complete there set out task. They have a lot of bravery and keep going out to do what they are meant to achieve and acomplish. That is what courage means to me.

Week 4
__What is your most indispensable possession and why?__

**Week 5**
__What do you think about people polluting the environment?__ What I think about people ­polluting the environment is very bad because they are the wrecking the place that we all live in and making it worse for everyone and for themselves. It could damage the earth and everything very bad and make a big impact on everything around it. People who pollute the environment don’t even realise that they are wrecking the earth they are just throwing there paper, plastic, rubbish and everything on the ground and wrecking it, they don’t even realise they are just too lazy to stand up and walk all the way over to a bin and put it in there which is the right thing to do rather chuck it on the ground and making the earth worse slowly. It is a very bad thing to go and throw rubbish on the ground and wreck the environment not just for them but for everyone else that lives in it. If everybody did this every single day the world would be a terrible place with rubbish everywhere.

Week **6**
__How do you feel when you do something wrong?__ How I feel when I do something wrong is I get a terrible gut feeling that I can’t get over and that I know that I’ve done something wrong even if I don’t admit it. I would feel really bad about what I did and try as hard as I can to fix it and make it better, even if I can’t I would still keep trying until I would be able to eventually. I would go and try and make everything better and make that person or what I did better and feel good again if I had upset somebody or make them angry. Even if I can’t I would keep trying and trying and trying until I make it all better again.

__How do you feel when you do something that is very good?__ When I do something that is very good I feel great about myself, I feel so happy, I feel like I have made everything better and it makes my day. I feel so good about myself just to know that I have done something right and very good that makes somebody or something that much better and helped it out a lot. It is a very good feeling that you get and you don’t want it to go away because you feel like you have made something so right that you can’t even explain it. It is a great feeling to have and you always want to have it because not only is it good knowing you have done something very good but you also are a lot happier and nicer and it’s just a great feeling.

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 people weren’t allowed to smoke cigarettes. I hate smoking, it is terrible. It’s disgusting, stupid, horrible and selfish. This would be a good law because even if that person wanted to smoke, it still shouldn’t be allowed because they could get lung cancer or something, and how would there family and friends react about it? They would be terrified and so upset and you would feel so bad that you have ruined your life and your family’s life as well just because of smoking cigarettes. Even if that person who was smoking didn’t care about their life, and didn’t care if they got lung cancer or anything they would still have somebody out there in the world that cares about them and would be upset if they died from smoking. It also makes people look scum. It makes them look filthy, and it’s a massive turn off if a girl smokes, because I know I wouldn’t touch them then.

Week 8
__When you are angry, how do you look? When are you happiest? When have you felt lonely? When do you feel proud?__ Well how I look when I’m angry, I don’t know how I would look because I wouldn’t check myself, I would probably just be yelling and stuff but I think if I did look in a mirror it wouldn’t look like myself because I would look evil and angry, but still I think I would look pretty adorable aye inch! When I’m happiest I would be smiling heaps and I would look very happy because something would have made me so happy that I would just want to keep smiling and smiling, but I still probably wouldn’t check in a mirror again. When I have felt lonely I would probably be when, I actually don’t know, maybe when like I’m home alone or something and I’m all by myself with no one and yeah. I feel proud when I do something that is right, that I know I have done that is for the better and made things that much better and right, even if it’s not a big thing at all.

Week 9
__Which quality do you dislike most about yourself - laziness, selfishness, childishness - and why?__ The quality I dislike about myself the most is probably my childishness. It might not seem like it but I’m actually not normally childish. When I’m at school or with mates or anything I just act it just so it’s not awkward and so I can make my mates laugh and everything, but when it’s just me by myself with somebody and none of the mates I muck around and have jokes and stuff are around I’m actually very mature and not childish and everything, and now that I have gotten used to being childish with my friends and everything I just say immature stuff with them without even realising because I have adapt to it from say stuff like that all the time around them and everything.

Week 10
__Why do you think prejudice exists in the world?__ I think prejudice exists in the world because some people are as accepting and aren’t as reasonable as other. Like some people might have a hate towards somebody because of just how they look, what colour/race they are and because of certain people’s opinions. There would be a lot of prejudice in the world because some people are intolerable or each other’s differences whether it there colour, race, religion, appearance, beliefs, opinions or just about anything that people stand out and or are different for that people don’t like about them and wont accept them for that particular reason.
