Final part 2: 

A.  What I liked about this class was that it gave us the opportunity to provide us with different carreer opportunities and gave us options to explore them a little further, I enjoyed that this class allowed us to discover different porffessions that we would normally not consider. 

     What I TRULY disliked about this class was most of the Student Success Statements. I disagreed with a large number of them because in all due respect, i have different believes and i felt obligated to staand up to what I believe in. Most of them were very close-minded and limitted, I hated them. And i hated the fact that you made us AGREE with them in th e reflection, We as students should have our own choice in what to put in the relfection. Shoving beliefs down childrens throats isn't a very good thing to do. You should give us an opportunity to actually say how we feel about the topic and disagree or agree with it. You should be making us OPEN MINDED about these type of things instead of just telling us YOUR opinion and making us back up what YOU believe in. 

B. I do have a couple suggestions to improve the class. Instead of making us support the quotes in the student success statement you should allow ourselves to decide if we agree on it or not. 

We should also be able to speak our minds on topics like obidience and rules. 

C. Well I did all of my work and I have an A in this class so you can say I put effort into it, 

D. Actually I have two Life Planning books. One i have at school,  the other at home. I have over 600 goals in the book i have at home. And I do read them everyday for more than 2 minutes. 

E. I do want to become a better person and I am striving to becoming a better person everyday. So yes. 

F. I promise that from this day on i'm just going to stop keeping my believes to myslef, I need to start standing up for what's right and true and stop going along with the crowd. I'm just going to be myself and make my mind stable and when i accomplish inner peace my spirit will be fullfilled 

                  Final Part 1:                        

Interdisciplinary Unit Experience

   I'm a freshman so I didn't really know what to expect when the teachers talked about the Interdisciplinary Unit, it made me a little nervous actually. During English class we all sat down and were paired up with random teammembers chosen by the teacher and each group was presented with a topic about Health and fitness. We didn't get to choose the topic and that was a little of a disadvantage. I disliked my topic at first. It was, "Should Students be mandated to join an athletic sport?" I'm not a fan of working out or sports in that matter, so I wasn't thrilled about the topic.
   My teammates and I wanted a new topic but the teacher didn't allow us to choose one for oursleves. My teammates, Alan, Karen, Esmeralda, Luis, and Kevin were all assigned a specific part of the assignment. I was in charge of drawing the audience in with a introduction. I was in charge of creating the claim which was "If students are mandated to join a sport it can help them overcome many physical or emotional issues and can even benefit our overall society. 

We agreed that students SHOULD be mandated to participate in an athletic sport, And we all found facts to back it up, 

  After we were done with our 7 paged essay we got the main points and converted it into a powerpoint including pictures and sources, we studied our lines and practiced what we were going to say in our Biomedic class. After we gained up confidence we were ready. We arrived after school, dressed nicely and presentable and ready to present our powerpoint and point of view to the professionals but one of our teammates wasn't there. We panicked But we took a deep breath and agreed that Alan was going to summarize her part. We stood infront of the pannel and said our part, my hands got sweaty but I managed to say my part without reading it off of my flashcard. We answered both of the professional's questions and everything went smoothlty. 

Student Success Statement 

When I do good I feel good, When I do bad I feel bad." 

Abraham Lincon 

Reflection; We as huamns feel emotions, they're hardwired to our system. For example one feeling is  a feeling of "good" that's the feeling you get when you do the right thing and you feel inner peace. But another feeling is guilt. That's the feeling we recieve when we do something that we know wasn't the right thing to do and it haunts us because we didn't have to make that decision. 

Student Success Statement 

You are in charge 

"Take responsibility for your own body, mind, and spirit, for your own physical, mental, and spiritual well-being ." 

Mr. Haymore

Relfection: I think this means that if you take responsiblity for your own mind, spirit and body it will effect the way your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being is, So it's like an outcome of your actions and decisions. If you take care of your body and exercise and eat right, you will be physically healthy. If you take care of your mind by being mentally stable, you will be mentally healthy, If you take care of your spirrt, you will be spiritually healthy. 

Student Success Statement 

"We need the courage to start and continue what we should do and the courage to stop what we shouldn't do" 

Richard L. Evans 

Reflection: I actually like this statenment. Because it's true. We should start actually focusing on the things we want to accomplish in life and stop doing whatever is keeping us from accomplishing it. There's going to be obsticles and people that'll tell you that you can't do it but have to do what you have to do and go with your guts. If we're afraid to strive for our goals, we'll never go anywhere, we'll stay in the same place with the same people that didn't believe in you. 

I think everyone should just go for whatever they want to fullfil and prove to themselves and they can do whatever they wish to do but with regualtions of course. 

Student Success Statement 

"Always do right" 

Mark Twain 

Reflection: This basically means to be always be true and honest and do the right thing throughout your lifetime. Its such a simple but meaningful statement. Just be good, and stand up to what you believe in. 

When you tell a Lie it Leads to Another

Paul Hatch 

When you tell one lie it leads to another 

  So you tell two lies to cover eachother 

Then you tell three lies, and oh brother, 

      You're in trouble up to your ears! 

So you tell four lies to try to protect you

Then you tell five lies so folks wont suspect 

   you.

Then you tell six lies and you'll collect 

     Al life filled with worries and fears

'Cause you can't rememeber how many lies

   You've told

  And half of the things you're saying aren't true

And sometimes you'll slip up and you'll trip up 

      And then  

   Whatever will become of you? 

So you lie without even trying 

And each each lie you tell will keep multiplying 

'Till the whole wide world will know

you're lieing 

Then you'll be

Suspected

Detected

Rejected

Neglected

Disliked 

And you should! 

When you lie, you're closing the door

On everything good

Studnt Success Statement 

"When you tell one lie it leads to another" 

Paul Hatch 

Reflection:  In order to keep up with your lie, you have to build up on it with other lies, and the outcome is not always so great. 

But lieing is part of who we are, something we can't change. We lie to protect one's feelings for example, saying an inoccent lie, like a white lie is harmless. White lies are told to make a person feel better, or even make them gain confidence or to even protect them. Imagine how the world would be if we were just all extremely honest all the time, everyone would be judging one another and the world would lead to chaos. Sometimes just being honest all the time and saying your opinions out loud isn't the best thing to do. So I don't agree that lieing is always a bad thing. 

Student Success Statement 

1. Can people trust me to do what's right? 

2. Am I commited to do my very best? 

3. Do I treat people the way I want to be treated? 

"If the answers to these questions are YES, there is no way you can fail. 

Lou Holtz

Reflection: 

1. YES

2. no, not really

3, yes. 

The reason why i answered no to the 2nd question was because I only truly commit to something when i'm really passionate about it, I don't commit to things that dont interest me. 

For example, I commit to my education only when I know I am actually learning something. I just commit to things that have a meaning to me, like art and music.

Student Success Statement

"Kindness is the essence of greatness." 

Joseph B. Wirthlin 

Reflection: I completely agree with this statement. Kindness SHOULD be the essence of greatness. But sadly in reality that's not true. There's terrible people out there that are millionaires(which is apparently considered achieving greatness) that are TERRRIBLE and selfish people but they have achieved earning all that money by inheritance or false success. This world has came to a point in which money has taken over. A piece of paper has over powered our minds. It shouldnt be that way. Money should not be important but in reality it is, It makes us greedy and blind therefore forgetting about whats really important which is kindness.

Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving day

Thanksgiving day isn't the happy celebration of peace Amercians claim it is to be. It is a violent, horrifying massacre of hundreds of Native Indians that were slaughtered or abducted from their homes to become slaves for the English. On top of that, the English took all their land

 English explorers sailed to England with a ship full of Patuxet Indians bound for slavery. They left behind smallpox which wiped out those who had escaped.  By the time the Pilgrims arrived in Massachusetts Bay they found only one living Patuxet Indian, a man named Squanto who had survived slavery in England and knew their language.  He taught them to grow corn and to fish, and negotiated a peace treaty between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Nation. At the end of their first year, the Pilgrims held a great feast honoring Squanto and the Wampanoags. 

But as word spread in England about the paradise to be found in the new world, religious Puritans began arriving by the boat load. Finding no fences around the land, they considered it to be in the public domain. Joined by other British settlers, they seized land, capturing young Natives for slaves and killing the rest.  But the Pequot Nation had not agreed to the peace treaty Squanto had negotiated and they fought back. The Pequot War was one of the bloodiest Indian wars ever fought.  

In 1637 near present day  Groton, Connecticut, over 700 men, women and children of the Pequot Tribe had gathered for their annual Green Corn Festival which is our Thanksgiving celebration. the sleeping Indians were surrounded by English and Dutch mercenaries who ordered them to come outside. Those who came out were shot or clubbed to death while the terrified women and children who huddled inside the longhouse were burned alive. The next day the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony declared "A Day Of Thanksgiving" because 700 unarmed men, women and children had been murdered.

Cheered by their "victory", the brave colonists and their Indian allies attacked village after village. Women and children over 14 were sold into slavery while the rest were murdered.  Boats loaded with as much as 500 slaves .Following an especially successful raid against the Pequot in what is now  Stamford, Connecticut, the churches announced a second day of "thanksgiving" to celebrate victory over the heathen savages.  During the feasting, the hacked off heads of Natives were kicked through the streets like soccer balls.  Even the  Wampanoag did not escape the madness. Their chief was beheaded, and his head impaled on a pole in Plymouth, Massachusett where it remained on display for 24 years.  

Reflection: Even though I truly believe the true reason why we celebrate Thanksgiving is a complete obomination. I still think it is a great holiday for the people that dont really know the true reason why we celebrate it. 

I dont celebrate thankgiving for the victory on the English murderers but because of the people im grateful for. 

I am thankful for... 

My amazing parents 

My family 

Having people there to support me 

The people that dedicate their lives to help other people

Everyone i care about being healthy

Having food everyday

Student Success Statement 

"Be cool in school-live every rule."

Mr. Haymore

Reflection: Wow. I think i will have to disagree with this statement, I believe that following orders from people is what brings danger to the world. Do you actually believe that the people that follow rules are the good people? Thats a false misconception, Its the people that follow orders that drop bombs and kill innocent people, Sometimes, following every rule you're given isnt the right decision. There are many people that changed the world for standing up in what they believed in and breaking rules. Mr. Luther King was one of them, he stood up for what was right even though he broke rules. Following rules and orders all your life doesnt make you a good person, instead it keeps you close minded. When someone isnt there to tell you what to do, you will be lost, you wont be able to think for yourself.
