What I think of courage?

Courage to me is something that you need to have in order to have a stable life and that includes great achievements that help you throughout your self-esteem and timeline and if you don’t have good courageousness in your brain, heart, or soil then you won’t succeed well in life. Famous people like Armstrong are a great example of why they are courage and how it has helped them in life which the answer is winning Tour de France not only 1 but 7 times! People sometimes think that courage means being strong and fighting, that’s true but there’s a whole lot more ways of being courage and to me it not only means to be brave but also the capability to face, danger, difficulty, or pain with overcoming the fear. I would say being courage whether it’s mental, physical, or emotional you somehow manage to overcome it in life. Believe it or not once I was scared to climb the wall at our school in 5th grade so I gave up on the first attempt because I had never done anything like it, but I came the next time and was determined to do it and I did it by climbing the first big wall at school. Now that I overcame this difficultly it has helped me to be a fine climber and I never imagined I was this good at it. So this an example of courage because first it shows my fear, then I overcame it and now the outcome of it has helped to be a better climber.

My Backpack

If was in between a situation where my parents tell me to pack everything in a single backpack and we’re leaving, I think personally for me at that moment especially at World War 2 in Amsterdam I would be totally terrified and anxious by not having understanding of what’s going to happen. Also there’ll ideas popping in my brain like I’m I going to die, I’m moving to another country, and all sorts crazy ideas with curiosity and intensity. In the backpack I’ll bring everything I think will be useful and accessible which consists of fun, socializing with friends, and many more things. I’ll bring my P.S.P since I haven’t got my laptop yet because this to me is like everything I need which includes high quality games, video clips, and most importantly internet wireless and this will give me the freedom to do everything I need and want which indicates I‘ll be able to chat to my friends for help or tell them the condition I’m stuck in. I’ll also bring my new Ipod so that I can express my feelings through music since music is life. I’ll also bring a small camera so that I can take pictures of what I’m going through and I’ll transport the pictures to my P.S.P and this will be like a Anne Frank diary except I’ll use more pictures and write about the labeled picture by including dates and a brief description. If I move to a house with no electricity then I won’t be capable to charge my electric accessories so that would mean I won’t be able to use them but in case if there isn’t I’ll brings substitutes because the accessories won‘t take much of the space. The substitutes will be 200 papers for writing and drawing and 50 pencils with 10 erasers, so that I can draw or write and erase by saving paper. I’ll bring 3 days of clothes so this specifies I unluckily have to wash my clothes by hand basically everyday and I‘ll make sure that the clothes are light and will not include my jeans, so it‘ll be easy to carry and wash. I’ll bring a couple of books, magazines, and small memorial albums for filling up my social time. I’ll also bring a game either risk or twister and play them with my sisters so I wouldn’t be bored. I’ll also bring a pocket English to Spanish and English so that I can increase my knowledge of English and Spanish. I’ll write sentences and passages in English and Spanish for future reasons when I have nothing to do. Overall this is everything I would bring in my back pack.


Bloom’s Taxonomy: Lord of the Flies

I was a self directed learner by reading the book carefully and clearly which indicates that I did not escape long paragraphs and read the paragraph or chapter again that I didn’t understand. I mostly accepted responsibility and had good learning strategies for understanding the book. This means that I took notes without the teacher asking me sometimes, and after reading the book I went to sparknotes.com to fully understand a brief summary of the chapters we were assigned to read to get an advantageous review of it. Although I am a self-directed learner, that doesn’t mean I am always like that because two times I fell behind reading because I didn’t fully finish reading. I’m a slow reader and it takes time for me to understand some paragraphs. So I could have done better of this obstacle by reading some after school, in the bus going back home, and at night. When reading the book I compared it to the first day, where the class was struck with confusion and awkwardness as we were ordered to go barefoot and Mr. R in a inaudible voice said that we had to pretend we were isolated on an island, and then I read aloud the paper on the board as everyone listened to me, and on it we were asked on a brown timeworn paper with burned edges to elect a leader. So after a scrappy and baffling election, I had been nominated to be the leader of a massive class. You could say a kindergarten class with somewhat  mostly immature 8th graders that did NOT pay attention to me at all. So I experienced  that I was like Ralph, and Aron, my assistant was like either Piggy or Simon sometimes, and also I thought Fred was like Jack without a doubt and because he was the cause of intrusion by influencing other people to be like him by  messing around, not paying attention, and distracting other students from listening to me. I give my self a 8 out of 10 for the quality of me reading the book and conducting the assignment where I was the leader.

I was a critical thinker while doing the Meyer Briggs assignment because I gathered , analyzed, and processed information from other sites and variety of sources. This means first I took information from my test results from different sites and summarized them all in one. This was done by having four different Internet Explorers open on ESFP, and I used this method of taking information and typing my words on Microsoft Word. After that I also got a illustration by getting the chart that explained me. I was a critical thinker throughout the assignment because I divided my assignment by separating the other information to get to explain it all in one by having the most important facts. I rewrote what I saw from the sites by combining them in my summary and prepared the names of famous people that were ESFP like me. I think my finest and most trouble less for me in the Lord of the Flies section came in this one, and I would give myself a 9.5 for being a critical thinker.

I was a self directed learner while doing the project because I took creative risks in developing untried ideas. This means I put pictures stickers on my shirt, and even though my handwriting’s not the finest, I painted the words decent enough for people to be capable to read them. I bought special stickers, and scanned the top of my title cover and customized it in Adobe Reader 7 for the t-shirt. I spend some of my free time going around to buy a white T-Shirt. I explained the book in a quote for people to get interested and fascinated in. I connected this project to my spider man shirt by getting ideas on where pictures, logos were and how they were set that made them look so attention grabbing for the audience. I created a Puma sponsorship for the shirt and design the T-shirt on rough sketch on how I was going to construct it by as most  modern fashion look-alike. My project could have been way better if I had gone to a shirt making company to help make it, but I went around  searching for  shops in two days to get a shirt making shop but, inauspiciously I couldn’t because they would take too long to make the badges and stitches that I was going to have for my shirt. So I could have improved if I had a little more time to finish the project. I also checked that my project would be evaluated on high ranks. I think my shirt doesn’t how hard I worked, but if any one could look at  the planning  and how I went searching in malls for the supplies, then that would show my contribution and fair effort in the project, so this would mean that I would grade myself 85% out of 100% which makes me satisfied for the work I’ve done.
