My contributions over those ten days where amed mostly at idald and doing the video and setting up posters to lets students know about ir. I help out completing the video and drew and painted some of the poasters.

#25 Belonging

My belonging is football at this point in my life becdause its a team sport so every one has there own role and others are counting on you to do your job which showes a feeling of belonging. I have a role of a captain on the team so not only is my role to do my job on the field but to makwe sure others do to effectivly. this gives me a taste of belonging because I have been givin a lead role by coach which make is like I have trust and in a way feel like i really belong.

#24 pg 95 ...lions and tigers and zebras...oh my

I think its just top make everyone feel equil which is hard because thats not how life is. I guess doing things equaly such as girl to guys right and gay to strait. I feel that it will always be a issue though and wont really change. giving everyone same ruights could level the feild for this isue but thats all you can really do.

Michael Johnson opinion about Oscar Pistorius. #23 should he have competed at the Olympic games?

I feel yes he should have been able to go to the regular olimpics because I meen he has no legs so thats not a advantage. If anything its a disadvantage on his part but he just wants to been seen as normal. he should have only been able to enter one olimpics not both I feel that unfare and he is abusing the system. But yes I do feel he should choose either one.

#22 can you have "bad" morals and still be a "good" leader?

Yes you can have bad morals as a leader because thats not what makes you a leader. being a leader is getting others to follow so if you can persway people than you could be a efective leader but obviously you could achive more if it was for good not bad.

#21 Lance Armstrong: Hero or Villain?

I don't thing he is hero nor villian because yes he cheated which was not right but at same time he helped out a great cause. I think yes if he didn't cheat and helped out the cause ofcoures it would have been beeter but also he couldnt win without doping and everyone did so it was a level playing feild. If I had to choose I would choose hero because he helped rais money for cancer.

#18 Me to We : pg 46 10 % stopped

I feel it is usually very important to finish what you start. Yes things might be hard but it is worth following threw if it is important to you I you find yourself not following through for something its not as important as you think to you so I think if you don't go the extra than what your doing is not important enough. I feel everything is planed in a way like things will happen that can't stop. I feel like we are all living in a story and we are in a way living it and for most part these things are happening for a reason so no I don't feel its a big deal..no.

#17 Amanda Todd essay...thoughts on this tragic story?

I do think that Amanda Todd's story is a tragedy. Any teen that is bullied and thinks that their only way out is to take their life is a tragic story. But at the same time Amanda's story is slightly different from all the other stories. Amanda's Todd's started to get bullied because of a risk she chose to take. We all know that when it comes to risk's there is going to be consequences. Amanda Todd took the risk of flashing the cameras which turned into her being bullied. So although I feel like it's a tragic story it's one that she could of prevent.

#16 so..challenge day..what happens next?

I feel we should just let the student body carry on and let there feeling play out with others and not to force any change. Yes we can have some activities but not exactly everyday but few things a week to keep the vibe that the students at our school have around. I feel this will benefit both people who did and didn't go so no one feels that they have to show there feelings.

#15 so ...Challenge Day

Challenge day...I did not go but I feel that yes there are individuals that would benefit from this and also some that would not so much which is my case. I feel I would not benefit so much from challenge day because I am happy and don't have complaints about my life so I feel if I went and saw everyone who have these problems I don't have ,yes would make me feel better but would not benefit anyone. Its a time to see that not everyone is alone with there feelings but some people need this to see there not alone where in my case with the few problems I have I know I am not alone  so i don't feel like I would benefit from this and that is why I didn't go but I do support this day and yes it does help.

#14 The World Values Study

I did not find these statistics that surprising I think only because I have talked about this so much before. To me I think it would make sense that people with more wealth are more unhappy because of the feeling of people taking advantage of you. When you have about average income yeah you can't have everything you want but your fine with what u got and don't have to worry as much about people taking advantage of you for your money where wealthy people would.

#13 happiness

I feel for happiness to happen you can get it from 2 sources. for happiness to take place you could find it from doing something for someone/something else or your self. when things happen they way you would like in the end that's where happiness will come from. Even if you have a hard time accomplishing this the reward is just that much sweeter in the end. Therefore to get happiness you have to do thing that will make you happy its easy as that.

#12 Joe Paterno

I think this story is sick. I feel that not enough was done against the coach and why it took so long for someone to find out. I think it took so long to find out because football is a american game especially college football so they kept mouths shut because the program had things going for them. I know that doesn't matter how well things are going if your doing something wrong something should happen right away. I feel coach should never be aloud to return to football and should be be banned from the sport.

#11 Keith Taylor's Story

This story sondes like make a wish foundation to me, because the people donating are literaly making peoples withes come true. The fact that there people with lots of money who can see others who arent as luckey need help and need things other people have but don't need. For people with lots of money to give out to people that need things showes how kind welthy people can be and not all stuck up holding on to there money that they won't use. To think of doing this is nice to see theres people who can see the big picture. I found this nice.

#10 Marc's story

I think Craig's story is pretty cool because of the fact he stood up for what he thought was right. helping these other countrys people who are dying everyday and helping out these hospitals showed heart from marc and showed there are people out there who can make a change.

#9 Book of Awesome Gpp301 edition

That game day morning after 4 hours of sleep just reran to go. wake up start your game day ritual, getting up at exactly 6:35am get your gym bag together with all your football equipment. pick out your favorite dress shirt and dress pants have a nice hot shower focus on the same. get all fresh eat a nice breakfast listen to some beats focus on that hit your gonna lay on that guy that momentum shifting play of the game hitting a 45 yard field goal than hearing the roar of the crowd feeling chills down your back knowing you have done your job.   # AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

#8 a thanksgiving idea

the week or so before thanksgiving in the school, you could have stations of different activities you would do on thanks giving, you could do the activity and wright something your thankful for on the activity you did, at the end of the week there could be a showcase of what the school did that week and people could go up and see everything people are thank full for and have fun during the week doing it to encourage participation.

#7....14-Year-Old Teaches Family the Power of Half...thoughts?

This story about the 14 year old girl who brought the idea to her family about people who are unfortunate  and wanting to make a change is moving. The fact she saw this and had thought if she could live with half the stuff she had than that homeless person could have a place to stay at night and not on the street. The idea of her parents sarcastically saying "what you want us to do sell our house?" and her saying yes showed she was serious about making a change. her parents actually going ahead selling there house and downsizing to live with half that they had and donating the other half to unfortunate people showed care that yes no one deserves to live on the street when others have so much money they don't know what to do with it. This story showed me yes i do have it good I don't know what having it hard is like. This is a nice act.

#6 Kim's story

The fact that this has/is happening around the world is really sad. the story of Kim getting attack and coming out with burns but still living is incredible. Knowing there is a foundation out there to help these victims of this horrible act is great and there should be more like them.

#5 Me to We Craig's story

my response to this story is to have the courage to try to make a change with freeing children as a child is very brave. To not only read about this but to actually go and witness with your own eyes and get the prim minister to listen to your concerns is amazing. To know this is how the family has been raised from generations past is nice to know that there are people who believe they can change the world because we need leaders like that. as such a young kid thinking this way is cool how he thought i can do this and knowing he had the support of him friends and family. and with him getting things done looking like the end is near and knowing we have to go farther and not stop is just what he needed to really make a change and he has

#4 describe your best "leadership" experience

My best leadership experience was when I was in grade 11 (last year) playen football.I saw that the team was lacking some issues with commitment, so I thought someone needs to say something. That night I posted on our wall how everyone needed to start coming out to practice and start working hard, working like its your last practice ever. players started to put in more effort and our team had gone 8-0 winning the varsity cup

#3 a leader

George Clooney. George is a leader for attempting to end war crimes in Sudan and bringing it to our attention. There are war crimes going on in Sudan that there trying to hide and Clooney has committed to end the war Crimes and to get Americans to help support and act upon this issue.

#2 what's not wrong?

What's not wrong? gay marriage is not wrong.
