Yesterday, we experienced extreme poverty during the whole day.

Mr. David (?) from the charity group “Crossroad” came to our school to educated us what poverty is and how it feels to be in one. We did an activity to experience the life of poverty which was, making paper bags and selling them. We also listened to the student’s and Mr.David’s presentation and ate a lunch that simulates what the people in need eat. i was surprised that 30-40% of the population of the world were people in need.

Making paper bags and selling them, it was an awesome task, letting us know clearly how people in poverty feel and it was just… incredible. When I was young, I thought people were poor because they were lazy and didn’t work, but now I finally can admit that I was being stereotypical. Even though you work hard enough, if you are in poverty, without any others help, it is hard to break the cycle of it. Even though they work harder and eat less than us, it is hard to break the cycle of it because, it has been passed on from generations to generations. We should help them because, I’m pretty sure, they deserve a better life.

So my final thought of this reflection is, we should be more aware of poverty, and help the people in poverty to give them a chance for a better life.

THEY DESERVE BETTER LIVES
GIVE THEM A CHANCE
TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY

WE, ALL OF US, CAN DO IT

Topic: what am I looking forward to this year???

Yipee! I’m in 8th grade (finally) which means, I’m the oldest student in the whole middle school campus!

To spend my last year of middle school in a unique way, I need plans, well, i need.. organized list what I’m looking forward to or not this year.  So, yeah, these are what “I’m looking for”

1. Getting myself a new camera!!

I will save my allowance. I will “Try” not go shopping often which will help me to save more money…

2. Send my bnrother off to military school or an army where it’s impossible for him to return home.

He maybe too young, but he is seriously strong! Anyways, if it’s never possible, I am just looking forward to train him to be “Less Annoying”.

3. Make my mom and dad happier!

The happier they get, the more money comes out from their pocket! Well, that’s one of the reason why I’m looking forward to make them happier, but the main reason is.. cuz… they’re my parents!

Well, so.. these are the main three “stuff” that I’m looking foward to. I can go on and on forever but since I ran out of time, I will just stop by now..

Hi! This is my tutorial video!

Even though it’s eventually the same from the other 8th graders, hope you enjoy it!

Hi! this is my second reflection and Im going to talk about what I learned so far at school.

In science class learned about chemical/ thermal energy, the particle’s activity based on temperature and etc.

In hummanities class, we learned debating and the historical effect/ influence Columbus made.

During these recent IT classes, we were ususally working on our blog post, for example, about posting an article about cyber-bullying.

We also worked on Adobe premiere elements, making our own video about us. Mr. Bertoia said that it was going to be posted in youtube.

We learned how to use ‘wordle’ to check how good our word-choice is. We also learned how to make posters in glogster. It is easy and interesting.

I want to thank my friends that gave me a lot of help during these projects.

Thank you~*

Cyber Bully is:

A person who uses the Internet for the purpose of harassing or emotionally harming other people. Cyber bullies may use Internet features such as chat rooms, blogs, create hate sites, etc. to hurt their victims.

-http://www.staysafe.org/

Cyber bullying is when a person is harassing, threatening or simply being mean using webs/ blogs and etc.

Cyber bullying always gives the victim stress, which might cause death.

Cyber bullying is just like threatening a person with a knife.

Remember, being called by a name that you DON’T want to be called

and having negative rumors which has no evidence

can be a knife that hurts, threatens you.

STOP CYBER-BULLYING

thank you~*

To join us you should be:
-A healthy, strong and adventurous man
-Male, full of courage
-Male, age 17 to 30
-A man who will not complain but obey through the journey

You don’t need to pay. The great Queen Isabella and King Ferdinant already have paid for our journey. All you have to do is, Register!

You better hurry.
Limited amount of sailors wanted
only 100.

Your job is to sail, cook and fix the ship during the trip.

Since I used the world “man” I transferred 2 or 3 of them to “male”

I also changed the word “Trip” to “journey”

and “Join” to “Register”

This is my first wordle.

I have a lot of “trip”s and “man”s.

I should change them in to different/ better words
