Where I am in this leadership journey

I feel like I am doing a good job in leading my self in the right direction. I feel more confident when in the halls, presenting infront of my classes and I'm not afraid of talking to a stranger. This is only possible because of this class an all the opportunities I have had to take lead. The grade 8 retreat helped and so did the assembly and the food bank class to class box handing out. I try without thinking if someone is watching or not. Ian not the type that will just volunteer if there is a camera there or someone. I do it for my personal satisfaction. I like to help others. I this blog is jumping all over the place but it's just my thoughts. Anyways, I am highly self motivated and many of my teachers could say this. I have always been a quiet and shy while I was growing up I would just go where the crowd goes and do what the crowd died but now I stick up for my opinions. If I don't want to what the crowd wants to do I don't do it. But most of the time  my voice isn't heard in a large crowd only the popular ppl get recognized and I get pissed but I don't say anything. Sometimes I have something really good to share and I don't because I haves started to think that I am not going to be heard so why bother trying. But after watching yesterday's videos I feel I should have said what I had to so say. I will from now on. I just remembered a time where ideas were needed and I had a good one but I didn't say it because I was like to myself that let them suffer a bad grade. As if I care. They never listened to me last time and now I'm not going to help them. Ok bye now

Family

I have been having a bad experience with my group. I have been having trouble asking for donations.  I asked  a few people and only got 20$ but some said they don't have any money on them. I felt really disappointed when I asked someone and explained why I was asking for donations they said no thank you. I don't have many family members in surrey so I wasn't able to ask anyone. Anyways I almost teared up when we called the mother of our group because we weren't expecting her to say tht. She didn't want toys or games rather she wanted food and clothing. She said they need food! There was a small pause and I could see in Taylor's eyes that she felt the same. I hope I could get more money for them. We are meeting them on Saturday 20 December. I hope we can give them an awesome christmas. 

Progress report

On Tuesday we went to see the salmon in the last few minutes of class. I felt as if I was going to slip and fall in the pond but I was suprised I didn't. Prabhneet and I saw 2 male fish fighting for the female fish up stream. That was some fight we saw. They were jumping and bottom f eachother. It was hilarious but I wish we could see who would win but the bell was about to ring. I was able to take pictures and make videos of that fight. I hope I could go back but I don't want to go alone I'm still scared of falling. 😕

Lest we forget

The assembly on Friday was very emotional. It was hard Watching it two times. In the starting, it was nice to hand out the poppies and I was amazed at the number of grade eights that remembered us. I felt good to see all those people donate.  I hope we collected a lot of donations. Many people who forgot about the money felt very sorry that they couldn't donate anything. Later on when we all sat down and if started. Reseleen and Jasmin did a swell job and so did the rest. I was struck by the shoes poem. I don't have words to describe how much it touched me. 👟👢👠👡👞👢👠👞👟👞👡👠👞👡👠👢👠👞👠👞👞👟👟👡👞👞👠👞👠👠👞👞👠👡👟👡👞👢👡👟👠👠👢👞👢👠👢👞👞👟👠👟👠👢👡👞👞👡👠👢👠👢👞👢👡👞👟👡👞👞👟👢👠👟👡👞👢👠👞

Sullivan Leadership

This class has been the most interesting, inspiring and influential to me. I have respected all our class values and I can say most people in this class do the same. I really enjoyed the blackberry cutting thing. It gave me a chance to reconnect with myself and my friends. And I also made se new ones. It reminded me of my childhood memories with my grandparents who are in India. I remember I used to go to our farm and just watch and the farms tht passed I used to pet the rabbits and pick corn and carrots and other good. Anyways I just wanted to say this is the best class and it is more than I expected. I didn't think we were going to get all this time to give back to the environment and also connect with it too. I would like to do more garbage pickup and things like planting tree. Stuff outside of the class because I have spend my whole high school inside and not at all connecting with the environment. I feel we shouldn't receive grades  in this class because how can one judge a way someone gives back to its environment and helps others. But since this is for the schools sake aand also my sake I guess I have to rate myself. I think I have been very enthusiastic about the environment and the future of it. I didn't pretend to not like mud and I wasn't afraid to be dirty. I didn't sit and talk to my fellow classmates, I was actually into the game. I think I deserve a 90% or an A. I have gave examples why but it's up to u. But I still think we shouldn't be allowed to get grades for this class. ☺️

Sullivan leadership progress report

So far in my leadership class I have respected all our class values. I have had a positive attitude whenever possible, I also have heard everyone's voice. I understand my personal and social responsibility. I am honest but I didn't do the hero project and I am so disappointed with myself. By this I show no commitment but that doesn't mean I won't do anything in the future. I will try my best. I respect teamwork but in this class I feel like an outsider and hope we never have to do any group projects. I'm not selfish but sometimes the situations force me into thinking just for myself. And lastly I have always valued creativity because I consider myself to be an artist. That was just me explaining if I have fulfilled our class values. But I would like to take this time to say that I love this class and I was so looking forward to the field trip on Monday but since I am taking a few days off of school next week I don't want to miss anymore of school. I feel really bad but on Monday in period four I will be in the library the whole time and finish my other class work 😀

Interm Report April, 10 2014

So far in PE I enjoyed it; the games, the new fitness days, and the new friends I made. I got in the badminton team, I became good friends with the grade 8 girls (even more close to them than the grade 9 girls) and I'm not too shy to do anything or say anything. What I mean is I don't worry that someone is watching me when I do stuff on fitness days and other days. Also I'm more confident with the actually things like I participate more and again don't worry that someone is watching me, I do what I want to do. Moving on, I also try to give my best effort but I now when i think about it I never bring gym strip. However I always have something on that is suitable for PE but I don't bring clothes to change into for the rest of the day (I need to work on that). On the last fitness day where we did tie bow I worked really hard and went over my average workout level (even more than the beep test) but the pedometer read only about 350. I have no idea what happened but i was really disappointed when saw the number t the end of class. In Badminton we have had 3 games already and I lost all the games i played but the numbers were usually really close like us 19 or 20 and them 21. I had a lot of fun playing badminton but we only have one game left but thats totally fine because i will be playing badminton with my mom and if i get lucky I might go on a team outside of school.

Interm Report March, 2 2014

This semester so far in pe I have done pretty well but I could have done better. I say this because I have tried and done my best in pe but not outside of pe. That is because I haven't got a chance to actually BE outside. All because of the snow and for every weekend I was at my friends house or they were at mine. But I have tried out  for badminton and we have final tryouts today Monday March 3. Fingers crossed and I hope I get in. Anyways throughout this semester I have done well. Examples of this on fitness days. 

Semester End Report

So far This semester I have had fun in active learning. I think I should deserve an A because I always try my best, most of the time here on time,and always participate. Though there are some days I don't want do anything but I still try to do something. In the starting when the teachers are explaining it I never seem to like it but, once we start to do the activity I start enjoying it. Even on fitness days I feel the same. I guess u just have to keep an open mind for everything because u can't judge if u like it or not without trying out. Anyways. I think I have improved a lot since last year. Especially on fitness days because last year I didn't try a lot on days like this. What I mean to say is I didn't put my full effort into whatever it was that I was doing. This year/semester I give my best effort and actually try to achieve my goals I had set for this semester. An example of the fitness days are the beep test. I use to get a3.7but now I'm getting close 5.4 that is the biggest achievement I have made this semester. I am trying to get to a 6. Another example would be the musical chairs circuit. At first I was like to my self "why god why do we have to do this. This is the stupidest thing I have seen.why are they making us do this. " But once we started to actually do something I started to have lots of fun. That I learned I shouldn't underestimate myself and the pe teachers. One day tht was challenging to me was the circuit where we go up and down the stairs(that's hard). Badminton and volleyball are my two favourite things but I never get a good partner so I always end up hating choice day(sound weird right). I had one request if we can do Zumba one day. Even though it's us watching it on YouTube and doing it. Also another request is if we could have a girls only day. And that about it. That wraps it up and I hope u enjoyed reading my paragraph(s).  😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
