 * Week 1 **

What is the best piece of advice you have ever received? The best piece of advice I have ever received was quite recently from my friends and family. The advice was to never give up and try your hardest at everything you do. This was the best piece of advice for me because whenever I feel down or can’t do something I would always try to finish it and never give up because giving up wouldn’t solve anything and get you no where in life but if you have a shot and try your best at everything you do, you will // definitely //Get somewhere in life because your putting in the effort. You can do this by when you get homework or assignments don’t just do a little bit and say I can’t be stuffed. Just keep going and get the work done so that you up to date and don’t fail. That’s why I believe that the best piece of advice I have ever received is to never give up and to always try your best at everything you do or complete

Week 2
What would happen if you threw a piece of trash on the ground? What if everyone did? If I or everyone threw rubbish on the ground I believe that the world would be an absolute mess. Because if we didn’t put our rubbish in the bin there would be rubbish every where and this would make our environment very messy which then will lead to rubbish getting in the ocean and killing innocent sea creature such as dolphins and sharks and fish and other animals in the ocean. If this happened then most of the animals in the world would start dying and the food chain will become very short and leave us with not much food simply. So people around the world really need to put all there rubbish they have straight into the bin when finished instead of littering. Some ways that we can make people aware of how this can impact on us and the animals would be by putting up billboards or posters just saying information about putting your rubbish in the bin and how it can affect everyone if you don’t. This is what I believe would happen if we all threw our rubbish on the ground instead of putting it in the bin. If we put our rubbish in the bin it will make our environment much cleaner and presentable.

Week 3
What would you do if you saw a friend cheating - report it, confront the friend or nothing - and why? If I saw one of my mates or someone in my class cheating in a certain test or an assignment or whatever the case may be I would do two things confront them and report it to a teacher. This is because it’s not fair on the person that they are copying off because they got that information or answers themself and they don’t need someone taking there work and getting the credit for it. So I would confront them and have a little chat to them and say way are you coping his or her work instead of cheating figure the answer out yourself because you only cheating yourself and that wont get you any in life because that’s the only thing your going to know how to do. After I confront them I would then go and explain to the teacher that this kid was cheating and I had a little talk to him just to say not to do it anymore but it might be a good idea that you talk to him to just so he stops doing it because soon he will get into a habit and keep on doing it. That’s why if I caught someone cheating I would confront them and also tell the teacher.

Week 4
What is your most indispensable possession and why? My most indispensable possession out of all the things that I have I would have to say my computer or laptop. This is because without my computer or laptop I won’t be able to do the things that I would usually do when I come home from school because I always go on the computer everyday either to do work or socialize with my friends. This would also be a huge problem for me because I also need the computer for school work so I can research things that are needed for the task that I was doing. It would also be a huge problem because with it I would usually be bored and not be doing much when I come home from school. I would also use my computer for games or to watch movies on. This is why my most indispensable possession that I have is my computer or laptop because without it I will not be doing much at all.

Week 5
What do you think about people polluting the environment? My opinion on people that pollute the environment is that there only doing it because they can’t be bothered finding or going to the bin so they just chuck it or throw it on the ground. Its like the other question its just going to mess up our environment and the world which will then again lead to the rubbish going into the ocean and killing all those innocent sea creatures and also the birds that eat it this makes the stomach fill up with everything they eat and that make them un able to breath and usually means that they end up dying and if sea creatures keep on dying then we wont have much food to eat coming out of the sea. That’s why I believe that people that pollute aren’t just messing up the environment there also killing innocent sea animals. So from now on people should just take a couple seconds out of there life and throw there rubbish in the bin. Week **6** How do you feel when you do something wrong?How do you feel when you do something that is very good? How do I feel when I do something wrong. When I have done something wrong I feel upset, regretful, annoyed and I get a gut feeling that I shouldn’t have done whatever I had done because it’s always going to stay with you and keep you thinking why did I do that because you know something’s going to happen or your going to get in to trouble for whatever you may of done. When I do something write or very good on the other hand I feel great, proud of myself and make me feel a lot happier then what I already was and when I do something right I usually have a good day because you go through the day knowing that you have done something right and makes you want to keep doing things right. You can do anything that’s very good or that you have done something right such as doing well in a test or exam or just helping someone or making them feels good would be doing something right. Doing something bad would be like breaking something and not telling anyone or just doing something wrong and keeping it secret from someone is also doing something wrong or bad. Out of the two I would much rather do something good then do something bad.

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 smoking was illegal this would be good law because there are to many people that are getting lung cancer and dying way to early in life this is bad because when they die they are leaving there kids if they have any or there family and everyone would hate for this to happen to someone in there family. The only thing we have really done to prevent people smoking is put the prices up which I believe isn’t make much of a different. I think that they should put the prices up again or maybe even just ban it make it illegal such as drugs. Or maybe some more ways we can reduce the people that smoke cigarettes is to advertise more, just to show more people what it is actually doing to them and how bad it really is. This is why I think they should make smoking cigarettes illegal in Australia and this is also the reason I wish there was a law that said smoking was illegal.

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 am angry I guess everyone and I would look upset, angry, annoyed and all the other things that would make us angry but we don’t just get angry out of no where we might be angry at a certain person or even at something bad that’s been happening in our life recently. Most of the time everyone quick to recover it’s just them certain seconds or minutes that where angry because of something that’s happened. I am happiest when im with all my friends or family and having a good time out that’s when I think that people are at happiest stage. I have never really felt lonely because I have always had my friends and family by my side to help me and look after me. So I have never really felt lonely. I feel proud when I do something good or help someone that needed it that’s the time when I fell proud of myself.

Week 9
Which quality do you dislike most about yourself - laziness, selfishness, childishness - and why? The quality I hate most about myself is that im not that organized which could be part of laziness. I don’t know why I just every time I get work or sheets of paper I always loose them and my diary am also very messy and could do with some organisation. But I haven’t always been un organised I used to be well organised in primary school but once I came into high school I don’t know why but I just started slacking off and not keeping things where there suppose to be. This does annoy me some times because things I need I can’t find because there either lost or somewhere lying around where I don’t know. Some ways that I can start improving is that maybes I should purchase some folders where I can put my work sheets in for each subject and sitting down one after noon and clean and organise my diary so that at school I got everything I need when I need it. So this is one of the qualities I dislike about myself which are organisation and laziness.

Why do you think prejudice exists in the world?
=== I think prejudice exists in the world because they try to be more than they really are by doing whatever they can to lower someone else. More and more people are convinced they aren't anything until they're more than somebody else and that they can't accomplish enough to compare to those with more, who already have the credit they want for being somebody. Every day I believe that it gets worst and you're not somebody until you're rich, beautiful, and powerful or some kind of 'Hero. I believe that prejudice as they say will never stop or end this is because everyone sometime in there life will say something mean, offensive or racist just to put someone down. So no matter how long the world alive there will always be some form of prejudice because it is part of human nature it will never end. ===
