Week 1
What is the best piece of advice you have ever received? The best piece of advice I've ever received is to never give up. Never giving up is really important when you come across a problem or difficulty in school, at home or at any time throughout your life. Persisting is very important as it will help you to grow as a person and help you to prepare for future difficulties that you may come across. Even though it is good to try new things, I think that it is still extremely important to stick to things that you are doing until you are completely happy with the result. For example, if I had given up on every challenge that I have come across so far throughout my life, I would be getting nowhere, whereas, if I persist as well as try new things, I can learn a lot and obtain new skills that will help me in the future.

Week 2
What would happen if you threw a piece of trash on the ground? If I were to throw a piece of rubbish on the ground, it would end up damaging our environment. Whether it just gets stuck in a garden and takes an extremely long time to break down, or ends up in a lake or beach where it could kill an animal (by swallowing it thinking that its food), it is most definitely going to contribute to destroying our environment. This is something that can not be taken back, once the environment is damaged, it will take a lot more in order to get it back to its original form than it did to ruin it in the first place. What if everyone did? If everyone were to throw their rubbish on the ground, the world would become a disgusting place to live and would very quickly become damaged. Along with the production of greenhouse gasses, this would just be another way that we would be destroying our earth, the earth that we are supposed to be protecting. This would then lead to people trying to fine new ways of restoring the earth that wouldn’t have been needed if we hadn’t destroyed it in the first place.

Week 3
What would you do if you saw a friend cheating - report it, confront the friend or nothing - and why? If I saw that one of my friends was cheating, I would start by confronting my friend. I would tell them that it is wrong to cheat, and that in the long run it will get them nowhere. Then I would most definitely report it to a teacher as I know that cheating is the wrong thing to do and the teachers will be able to deal with it properly. What do you think courage means? To me, courage means to stand up for what you believe in and what you think is right. It is taking a chance, or giving up something that is important to you. What do you think makes a good friend? I think that I a good friend is someone that you can trust, someone will support you, and someone who you know will be there for you no matter what.

Week 4
<span style="color: navy; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">What is your most indispensable possession and why? <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">Even though I think that family and friends are the most important thing in my life, I also know that they are not an item. I think that even though I could live without it, my Ipod is my most indispensable item that I have. Even though I think that there are many things in my life that are extremely important to me, this is one of the things that means the most to me. Music is something in my life that is very important to me and I think that it would be something that has made me the person that I am. I have always had a passion for music throughout my life and I think that it will continue to help me throughout the rest of my life. Whether it may be helping me to relax, or making me happy, I think music is something that I can count on to help me whenever I need it. <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">** Week 5 ** <span style="color: navy; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">What do you think about people polluting the environment? <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">I think that when people are polluting the environment, it is not only killing the earth, but it is killing us. Most people don’t think that throwing a piece of rubbish on the ground is going to affect us, when it true fact it is. Something as simple as a piece of plastic wrapping can kill an animal, or break down and slowly destroy our earth. I think that when people pollute the environment, they are being careless, or just can’t be bothered doing the right thing for our world. For example, if everyone were to turn off lights and electrical appliances when that is not in use, we would be doing a lot to help save the environment. People just can be bothered putting in the effort. I think that I am not the only one who would think this too, as many people change their lives dramatically in order to save energy and cut down the amount of greenhouse gasses that they are producing.

<span style="color: navy; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">How do you feel when you do something wrong? <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">When I do something wrong I feel bad. In some cases it might be better to do the wrong thing depending on the situation that you have been put in. sometimes there is no other option and the only thing to do is the wrong thing. Sometimes I feel extremely bad when friends or family or other people are involved or hurt when I make the wrong decisions. When I make the wrong decisions and do something wrong, I feel like it is my responsibility to make it right and apologise to anyone who was affected by my decisions. <span style="color: navy; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">How do you feel when you do something that is very good? <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">I feel really good about my self knowing that I have done something good or made a right decision. I think that even though I am excited that I did something good, and I want to tell everyone, it is also important to consider other people and that it is important not to brag.

<span style="color: #003366; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Week 7
<span style="color: #003366; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">I wish there was a law that said... This would be a good law because... <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">I wish there was a law that said we don’t have to do homework after school hours. I think that this would be a good law because I believe that we do enough work at school. I also think that there are students that do not put the effort in at school, but in most cases they don’t bother doing their homework either. This results in some students doing more work than the other students. I know that many people would most definitely disagree with me on this one (especially teachers), and I know that as a student this is typical, but I also think that on top of studying for tests and exams, and completing assessment tasks, the extra homework is too much and too stressful.

<span style="color: #003366; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Week 8
<span style="color: #003366; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">When you are angry, how do you look? <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">I have no idea how I look when I am angry as I think that when I am angry, I am not in the mood to go and look in the mirror. According to friends, I look relatively average when I am angry, though I don’t talk as much as I normally do. <span style="color: #003366; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">When are you happiest? <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">I that I am happiest when I am with my friends. When I am with friends and people that I am close to, I am more myself than any other time of the day. <span style="color: #003366; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">When have you felt lonely? <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">I have felt lonely when I have been upset and it has seemed like there has been no one to turn to for help. Even though I know that there are people that can help me and I can talk to, I also know that I shut people out when I am upset. <span style="color: #003366; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">When do you feel proud? <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">I feel proud when I do the right thing or make the right decision. I think that when I help someone I feel proud that I was able to make a difference in someone’s life.

<span style="color: #333399; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Week 9
<span style="color: #333399; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">Which quality do you dislike most about yourself - laziness, selfishness, childishness - and why? <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">I think that the worst thing about myself is that I can be lazy at times. It is not tat I am a couch potato or anything, it is just that if I am not interested, I cannot be bothered I think that it is mostly with school work tough. Most things that I do in school are of average quality. An exception to this is when I am doing something that I am interested in or something that I think could be useful to me in the future. For example, I am quite happy to be going back to the main campus as I will be doing electives and I will be happy to do something that I am interested in, even though we will still have to do other subjects such as maths and English. Most things in school work that involves being creative or designing something are things that I would be interested in as it keeps me from getting bored, drawing all over my books and getting distracted in class.

<span style="color: #003366; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Week 10
<span style="color: #003366; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">Why do you think prejudice exists in the world? <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">Personally, I think that prejudice exists in our world because people are not happy with the way that things are. There is always something that people have to pick out and find a problem with because they are just being difficult. There are so many aspects of prejudice that makes it so common. People judge others before even getting to know them, when really, if they took the time to find out more about a person, then maybe they would see that there is really nothing to dislike about them. As they say, don’t judge a book by its cover. I completely agree with this saying, it is better to get to know someone before judging them or picking out the bad qualities or assets of a person. If only everyone had an open mind and were able to find out more about a person before they are prejudice towards them. This would help to make our world a much better place
