Reflections
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 peice of advice ive ever recieved is "Cant keep a good man down". I got this advice from a football coach that said this to me when i was going through a time when i wasnt able to play because of injury. When i got this advice it was very helpful to me because it inspired me to keep going, and make sure that when i come back that i am better then ever. It also gave me confidence that i was good enough and that i could come back better. Coming from one of the best coaches that ive ever had it has stuck with me for a long time and i wont forget the advice

Week 2
What would happen if you threw a piece of trash on the ground? What if everyone did? If i through a piece of rubbish onto the ground it would pollute the environment and possibly end up in the sea and then could have an effect on the marine life that lives in the sea. That is the ripple effect because one problem turns into another and then into another one all starting from that one piece of rubbish that you dropped. If uou werent the only one to do it, and everyone did it would have the same effect but extremley worse. It would definetley pollute the environemtn and definetley end up in seas and marine animals will be killed. Rivers. creeks will be polluted and animals will be effected in there, and drains may get clogged up with rubbish and wrappers so it could be harmful for us. People should be responsible for the things they do and if they have rubbish they should put it into a bin and not expect someone else to pick it up when they drop it on the ground.

Week 3
What would you do if you saw a friend cheating - report it, confront the friend or nothing - and why? What do you think courage means? What do you think makes a good friend? If i saw a friend cheating on a test i probably wouldnt say much, thats just the way that i am. I am generally pretty quiet and probably would just keep to myself about and maybe talk to them after about it. It probably isnt the best thing to do, if you see a friend cheating you should tell them to stop, and if they dont they mayeb you should report it. The way i interprate courage is a footy players backing into a pack and getting crunched, but then boucing straight back up and keeps going. The other way that i interprate courage is a person like Jim Stynes who is going through such a tough battle with cancer but he isnt showing it and continuing with his job, i think that he is very courageous. A good friend is always honest with you, and shold be able to tell you most things. Trust in each other aswell.

Week 4
What is your most indispensable possession and why? My indispensable possesion would be my iphone4, i love it. It can do everything i need and lets me keep in contact with mates and use internet on it aswell. I also use the ipod part of it alot, especially in class when we get permission to use it. It helps me concentrate and calms me down which gets me into the mood to do work or focus on the task at hand. Its also really fun to use with all the games that you can get onto it, and you can take it pretty much anywhere. The downside to it, is they can smash very easily and they are not very cheap to get the screen repaired.

**Week 5**
What do you think about people polluting the environment? I think that people that pollute the environment are very stupid, they are definetley not thinking about the environment and definetley not the future generations to come. We need to protect the environment because it can cause major problems like global warming, which could kill alot of people because the sea levels will rise. If the environment is gone and eventually dies off our kids kids will never get to see the real environment and how it was when we were young. Polluting the environment will also kill alot of animals, not only marine life but animals in all environments. They could swallow rubbish or it could kill their habitat and they would need to find a new home and would eventually die out and once again the generations to come will not be able to enjoy the wonderful animals in the same way that we got too.

Week **6**
How do you feel when you do something wrong? How do you feel when you do something that is very good? When i do something wrong, i definetley do not like the feeling. It is not something that you want to feel because i am someone who wants to always do things right. I can sometimes get very dissapointed in myself but i think that is a good thing because next time i make sure that i don't do it wrong. Doing something very good gives you the exact opposite feeling to doing something wrong, you feel great. If it is for someone you feel good that you could help out. I much prefer doing something very good then something that is wrong, it just feels good to know that you are doing something good or that you have succeeded in whatever you are doing.

Week 7
I wish there was a law that said... This would be a good law because... I wish there was a law that said, bullying is illegal in the workplace and in schools. This would be a good law because it would mean that everyone would be treated as equal and that everyone would like to go to their school or workplace because it would be a good place to go, without worrying that you might go there and be bullied. Everyone has the right to go to school to learn and that learning should not be stopped by people bullying them. I think that this law would ensure that most people got along and discrimination would not be a problem. I also think that there should be more strict laws/rules on racism because i think that it shouldnt happen but if it does the person or persons should be punished.

Week 8
When you are angry, how do you look? When are you happiest? When have you felt lonely? When do you feel proud? When i am angry i think that i wouldnt look very happy, i would probably be grumpy and snap at people if they tried talking to me. When i am happiest i think that i am around my family in my own home, that is definetley where i feel comfortable, another time when i am happy is when i am around my good mates, i can always have a laugh and muck around with them, so that is another time when i am happiest. One time i have felt lonely was when i went on a running camp for 6 days in Sydney, i had to compete and train there but my parents did not attend. I had to make friends and sought of fend for myself, and at some stages i definetley felt like i was lonley. I feel proud when i play football for my local team altona and i love putting on the jumper and playing for them, i also felt very proud when i represented my state for athletics and competed against the other states of Australia.

Week 9
Which quality do you dislike most about yourself - laziness, selfishness, childishness - and why? The quality that i dislike about myself the most would be laziness, i can be very lazy when i need to help out around the house or something like that but i have been trying to change that. I also think that sometime i need to speak up for myself a bit because i can be quiet when i should speak up more.

Week 10
Why do you think prejudice exists in the world? Prejudice exists because people do not think before they say things, and they develop opinions before something has occured without knowledge or any thought at all. Sometimes people dont even have a reason why they have that opinion they just do.There is alot of people who think they know alot more then they actually do, whether it be about a certain topic or just generally.
