Jess'+Reflection+Page

Reflections Each student will build their own page for the purposes 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?// The best piece of advice I’ve ever been given is 'treat others how you would like to be treated'. I think that is the best piece of advice because these days there is hardly a day that goes by where everyone gets along and uses manners. My parents are the ones that gave me this piece of advice based on personal experiences and i think that it was good of them to tell me this because that way i would be able to fully understand the effect it has on people that we sometimes treat the wrong way. Another good piece of advice that my parents have given me is 'It's okay to make a mistake'. I also think this is a good piece of advice because no body is perfect and I think sometimes we forget that we are allowed to make mistakes.

**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 i would know that it was the wrong thing to do and pick it up. Our environment is polluted enough so i would try to do anything i could to not make it any worse. If everyone was littering i think i would try to convince them that it's unnecessary and irresponsible. Personally, i think it's easier to put something in the bin rather then leaving it on the floor.

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 confront them. I wouldn't do it so I could yell at them but I’d ask them why they did it when they know that it probably wasn't the smartest thing to do but I think I would have a clear conscience knowing that it wasn't me breaking the rules. //What do you think courage means?// I think that courage means having the ability to face your fears and accept the challenges that life gives you. //What do you think makes a good friend?// I think that to be a good friend you have to be loyal. Whenever i look for a friend i always try to guess if they're loyal by their first impression, i'm not always right but sometimes you just have to go with your gut feeling. Another important thing that i think you need to have is a good sense of humour; being honest and caring are important too but not being able to have a laugh with a friend is not a good thing.

Week 4
//What is your most indispensable possession and why?// My most indispensable possession would have to be my iPod. This is because I have a lot of music on there for all the types of moods I have. I take it almost everywhere with me because it makes me feel comfortable knowing that I have it with me and that I can listen to it anytime that I want. For some reason it makes me concentrate more on my work when I listen to it at school which makes me achieve marks to the best of my ability.

**Week 5**
//What do you think about people polluting the environment?// I don't think they're bad people although I think that they make bad choices. As I said in a previous answer it really isn't that hard to put the rubbish in the bin and help save the environment rather then throwing it on the ground. It also makes the place where you hang around look so much better and there is so much more variety of places to sit.

Week **6**
//How do you feel when you do something wrong?// It depends on the type of day I’m having, if I’m having a bad day I will feel like I just need something or even someone to take my anger out on but if I’m having a good day and I do something wrong I will try and get into the right state of mind and point out that everybody makes mistakes and there’s always those days where sometimes you will feel like you can’t do anything right but it’s not only you that feels that way because everybody experiences it. //How do you feel when you do something that is very good?// //Whenever I do something that is good I always feel good about myself because I know that I have made someone happy for the day. It makes me feel like I’ve gone out of my way for someone else. It makes me so happy knowing that I have made someone happy for a day; sometimes knowing that I have made someone else happy makes my day.//

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?//

Week 9
//Which quality do you dislike most about yourself - laziness, selfishness, childishness - and why?//

Week 10
//Why do you think prejudice exists in the world?//
