Stephsacco's Reflection
Stephanie Carmen Josephine Isabella felicity sacco <3 Each student will build their own page for the puposes 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 relection 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 had ever received is, to never give up on something that you truly believe in and if you keep your head held high you can achieve even the greatest goal. If you hold on through till the end, you can accomplish anything, because if you don’t try you’re hardest and you don’t put in your best effort, then you will regret it everyday, you will wish that you took that final hurdle. Sometimes I look back at the things I gave up on and I try to do them again most of the time I succeed but sometimes I do put them aside again, awaiting the day when I finally can hang up my shoes and no that I have accomplished something that I never really gave up on I forgot it was there. If we gave up on everything that we ever tried, we would all be nothing, take a doctor for example, if they gave up on trying and passing through medical school and just gave up, then we would have no doctors helping us with our illnesses and other health hardships. So I guess never give up even when times look tough, look forward and you just might see the end of the rainbow.

Week 2
What would happen if you threw a piece of trash on the ground? What if everyone did? Sure we can throw rubbish on the ground and we can feel in a way like we are not hurting the environment, but in real fact it does. Even one piece of rubbish can make a difference I no that one piece of rubbish may not seem like very much, but we always say that even one person can make a difference, 1 kilometer over the speed limit can make a difference. So then why does rubbish make it different? So don’t ever think that one thing wont make a difference, because everything makes a difference one single thing can change the world, and make it completely different in just a single heartbeat. Okay so lets say that in one day alone every single person that lives and breaths on this planet, just decides that it wont particularly matter on that day they will throw some rubbish on floor because its just another small piece of rubbish it cant really do much harm. So by the end the day we have 6,927,670,525 pieces of rubbish, just floating around our beautiful earth polluting our atmosphere killing our animals, and destroying one of the many things that still have natural beauty our oceans.

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 off me, I would subtlety try and cover my work without embarrassing them, but honestly I don’t really mind if my friends cheat of me, I want them to do as well as they can and If I no what I’m doing and they don’t, well I would of told them anyway, if it wasn’t under lets say test conditions. What do you think courage means? Courage doesn’t always mean saving a damsel in distress from a burning building, because obviously that doesn’t happen everyday. What it truly means in my view that you have to stand up for what you believe, to hold your head high, to see the world in green and blue not anyone else’s version. If you don’t be courageous for yourself then no one else will. What do you think makes a good friend? In my view a good friend, is someone that makes you laugh as much as you breathe, who is always there for you, no matter what that, waits behind for you when you late or everyone else has left, someone that means the world to you that would do almost everything to keep you happy and not upset. Truthfully a good friend won’t ever be there to bail you out of jail, why because they will be sitting right next to you asking how you got yourselves into that position.

Week 4
What is your most indispensable possession and why? My iPod touch is my most indispensable possessions can not live without it, if anything would to happen to my iPod would be temporality lost in life. I don’t leave the house without it pretty much never leaves my sight, except when I’m at school sleeping or playing netball. It is pretty much my sun I revolve around my iPod touch, it is my everything, and it is so useful for everything, like playing games, writing notes looking at photos, going on facebook, listening to music and accessing videos and pretty much every other internet website that you could ever thing of. And even better it can store up to 35 megabytes of memory so I can pretty much have anything I want in small device that has so far lasted me three year and has still got a while left in it. You no what’s even better you would thing that all this stuff that it can store it would be a very large piece of equipment but its not it is smaller and thinner that the size of your hand. I could easily say that the IPod touch and the I phone are probably the greatest inventions ever made. To prove it that in a year the company that makes IPod touches and I phone makes 1.5 billion dollars in one year alone inAustralia.

**Week 5**
What do you think about people polluting the environment? Lets be honest we have all polluted the environment at least once by using just a small house hold appliance like a kettle. I guess people in this life their lives revolves around using electronics to survive, but even though we might use these things in short amount of time they still can cause a very big impact you. I actually fear for our future and this planet because we are polluting it so badly and taking advantage of it, I think that we might have to pay for all our bad doing to this planet, and I no that our polluting wont get better so we will just keep getting deeper and deeper into problems until we finally drown in them and we are forced to start all over again. I would actually hope that happens it would be so good to go back to the older methods of living, the times when there wasn’t so much to worry about, when life was easier and we could just talk to people face to face instead of behind a computer screen. Sadly though I don’t think people could handle that, I think most people strive on the newest thing and now they can’t live without it.

Week **6**
How do you feel when you do something wrong? When I do something wrong I feel like I have left someone down like, no matter what I have done good in the past by doing this one wrong can change someone’s life. I also feel a bit pathetic because I expect better for myself I no perfection is out of the question, but one day id like to know what it feels like. To be perfect, maybe there’s no such thing as perfection, but at least to know that everything is how I want it to be. So if I ever do something wrong I don’t be to hard on myself ,I’m a person that doesn’t care for to much what other people think and I’m thankful to god for giving me such a carefree life.

How do you feel when you do something that is very good? When I do something right I feel empowered in a way, like I just helped someone, like I did a good deed, I also feel proud of my self, I no that not everything has to be to scale not everything can be perfect, but as long as I no that I’m doing good I no that my life is still worth its value, in a way I no I can not always make the good things I do in life perfect, but at least I no I tried, and I didn’t give up till the end, because I no never giving up can get you along way in life.

Week 7
I wish there was a law that said we should not be judged by our looks, but the burning personality that we have inside of us. This would be a good law because... This would be a good law because nobody would be self conches about looking perfect in other people’s eyes. We wouldn’t have to fake our looks or hide behind makeup, and the way we act, I just wish that everyone could see the inside of people, because really you can only get so far by making some kind of a relationship, by loving someone with their looks, some people to other people may look unattractive, but if you looked inside their heart and not their outer appearance, we would all see the beauty of people. Although I can definitely say that this law will not take place, because the people of this life they have a hard time letting go of things, an we are so obsessed with the idea of perfection, that it over takes our beauty that burns deep within side of us inside and turns it rotten with insecurity, and judgment. If only we lived in a place where laws like being perfect on the outside didn’t matter, I can for sure tell you that we would all be so happy with life, and we would not have to live and breathe through life trying to please people.

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 honestly I don’t really stand in front of a mirror and look at myself crying, because I don’t really get angry I get sad so I cry instead but I would imagine that my face is not a face that anyone would like to see. I’m at my happiest when I’m with my friends and my brothers and sister they just make me so happy and they are so like me, they just get the way I am and how I feel and my own parents don’t even know me as well as my friends do because I’d rather tell my friends things then tell my parents. I feel lonely when I am home alone because nobody’s home therefore I feel lonely, but I feel lonely when I’m without my friends or my brothers or my sister, because they always make me feel better, and usually my brothers are never with us, unless we go see them on the holidays, but I guess its hard living without the things you love, I guess its good though not having them around all the time shows me, how much they truly mean to me. I feel proud when I am playing netball, I’m truthfully not very talented at a lot of things but I would say that I’m quite good at netball compared to other things. It mostly happens when I intercept the ball or steal the ball off the opposition, with out getting called up for contact.

Week 9
Which quality do you dislike most about yourself - laziness, selfishness, childishness - and why? Probably my laziness because, I can’t really be bothered putting effort into the things I do not really particularly want to do like math’s home work. I wish that I loved doing math’s homework because maybe I would actually be good at it, and pass for a change, but I guess we all can not be good at everything we just have to accept that. I also sometimes would like to be a little less childish because it really makes my parents angry, because even though I love that I still act childish, I would like to make my parents proud of me for once. Although if someone gave me the option to make my childish act to go away, well I would tell them to go away, being childish is one of my most admirable traits, being childish for me is how I choose to live and I would never want a life to be perfect in anyone else’s eyes because in my eyes, my life is pretty close to perfect and I would never ever change it for anyone, because if the person that I would care enough about would say that to me well if they wanted that part of me gone then I would not longer care enough about them.

Week 10
Why do you think prejudice exists in the world? It existed in the world because people are so much revolved around their own personal life that they are sadly so very tragically blinded to the bigger issue the right thing according to the eyes of God and what’s good for them, so the people with higher power have more of a say in what happens in the world. Take children that work, in the coco transplantation, they are taken advantage and not even paid properly it is also illegal because every child has the rite of an education.

It does not happen all the time but not all people are prejudice to women. Usually men look to women as the weaker link, like we can not do anything we are just made to cook and clean, but in real fact most women are actually mentally stronger than some men are.

It happens to people with darker skin people as well some people treat them differently because they are different to us, because they look abnormal compared to the other people, so we cast them out and make them look like animals when really they are not so different from us even though they grew up in a different country they still breathe eat drink, and all our hearts beat together as one.
