My Journal

 

1. What was confirmed for you today; what did you already know?

~Life was confirmed for me today, just the thought of being here and living on on this world makes me very proud to say i love living, and am very honoured to have the chance to live like every day is a new adventure. 

~I know that i am suppose to do something that will help another human being or livening creature. MY job on this earth is to teach.

2. What is the word of the day? Why did you choose this word?

~The word of the day for me is "peace" 

~I chose this word today because i think that peace is more than just a word, but a act. 

i think that man kind has forgotten what peace means, its not just a symbol  we make with our fingers in a picture but a word that can change the world. Peace could  change a persons life. Peace isn't only just about the stopping of war but it is also about making a child's, animals, women's, man's life better in harmony of love.

3. What surprised you in your learning today?

~Movement surprised me in my learning today because I went to go see a movement play with my drama class, and the way that the actors expressed their feelings in movement with no talking was very well done.  It just made me think "what id our world was like that" and for the rest of the night I was thinking this to myself and trying to come up with some answers. What I saw and learned that day in the play was very knowledgeable and fun.

4. What changes are you going to make from what you have learned?

~The changes that I am going to make in my life is to relate to drama as more of a expression rather then just reading a script and memorizing it. I am also going to try and change the way I view my every day life style, the way we all go on with life is like a script. But I am just going to move my way on threw life and try to dodge every obstacle that gets in my way with a softer take.

5.What connections have you made with your own life?

~The connection that I have made with my own life is that I am to negative and hard on myself. I connected this because I always feel down. Recently I have tried a new technique to make yourself love who you are as a person. This technique involves putting sticky notes on what make you love yourself.

6.What questions are you left with?

~The question that I am left with is why do some humans have it better than others?

~The other question that i have for the world is how many people believe that we picked our parents, are own life, are own sex, colour. Is life like a story book or is it all new as you grow?

1. The thing that was confirmed with me today was that you never stop learning even if you are 110 years old, there is always something to learn.


The thing that I already knew was that school really isn't the only place that you can learn from.

2. The word of the day is family, I chose this word today because i believe that family is very important and it is important to me. I think about this word a lot because I am always thinking about the great family I have with all my pets and parents.

3. The biggest thing that surprised me in my learning today was that I taught my mom and dad something that they never knew or never heard of, so for once I was the teacher.

The connections That I made to my own life is that people must teach everyone across the world as much as I learn in one day.

4. The changes that i will make to my own life is that I will teach more people what I have learned in a day so that they can learn it too.

5. The connections that I have made to my own life is that I am going to learn from the heart, and teach from the soul.

6. The questions that i am left with are: What do teachers really think when they are teaching

Do they love the kids they teach or is it more just a job

1. The thing that was confirmed for me today is that dogs are very protective animals of their homes, owners, and young children they might not know. I already knew that my dog was very protective of her home and her family but i did not know that she would be protective of a child she didn't know.

2. The word of the day is family, i chose this word because i just got back from seeing my family on Christmas and i forgot how much they all mean to me.

3. The thing that surprised me the most in my learning today was that no matter who or what is near my dog will always protect me and sometimes even others.

4. The changes I am going to make is that i am going to teach my dog more about family and how to protect.

5.  The connection's that i have made to my own life are that animals feel that family is just as important as humans do.

The other question that i am left with is how can animal's sense danger?
