Reflection On Roll of Thunder Project.

Come to Life
- The guys should stop circling around the room and talk more clearly. They should also organize it a bit so that we can tell.

Who or What?
Try to find a much harder one and add key events for the person. Although good job on describing them in almost every way possible.

Into the Future
They did a good job on making up that story and the plot is well done. Some of the plot is a bit like a fantasy but some parts contain a piece of reality.

Interview
I think that we did ok and that we shouldn't tell that blankly and should speak and pause at the right amount of time. Also there were some typos in the script and we found out about it and tyr to change the words and the formation.

Reflection On Myth Presentation

I think that the Myth Presentation was really good although you can tell that some groups gave all the work to someone while the other person obvious first seen the powerpoint. I think that my favorite myth is the Daedalus and Icarus. Our team accidentally added a picture that wasn't suppose to be there but our team remembered that we changed the picture. I think that the best presentation is kind of hard to choose since that all of them were really good. I think that Alice and Michelle's group was pretty good and also Ophelia's and Lindsey's. Not to favor towards the girls but that there presentation was organized and seem very confident in themselves. I think that our group also went pretty well but we sometimes stumbled and the wording is kind of bad but the rest is okay. I don't really like the story cause the answer to the riddle was kind of horrible since it's a really predictable thing.

What is a Winner?

I think that everybody is a winner as you may have heard many people say a lot already. I think that winners are people who feel like winners and that they appreciate the title. Although sometimes I think that it depends on the balance of the teams so that it is fair for everybody. If in a basketball tournament you are against people whom are bigger, taller, and faster than you are and our team lost. Well it obviously doesn't seem fair so I don't think that that team is a winner. A winner needs to win something that is fair or else that it may cause a lot of people to argue. A winner also needs to work hard for it or else people might think that that is not a quality of a winner. Usually people think that winners are people who won from a competition, but I don't think so. As long as people do not cheat or  play fair then that person is a winner. That is what I think about a winner.

Is there a job you were born to do?

        I don't know if I have a job that I am born to do. I am not sure, but if you mean by that parents have been stressing you to do a job that they want you to do then yes, kind of. Parents always wish that you were born to do something probably what they have been doing. I think that yes in a way that there is something that is born for me to do since that I have to have a job for me to do in the future. 
        Although I don't know what to do yet and my friends all know what they are going to do when they grow up I haven't. In my opinion, I think that there has got to be a job that is born for me to do and I hope that job is a good job too not a bad one. I think that when I can determine there is a job for me to do is when I am in high school and then I can decide. 
        My mom also told me that I have to think of the job I need to do now or I will regret it so now I am trying to think of different jobs that I am probably born to do. And I hope that everybody can have a job they were born to do and that they are good at it and can become the best at different jobs.

What are you willing to fight for?

        I have a lot of stuff that I am willing to fight for, for example at school I fight in for grades and when we get older we fight for college applications with other people that we do not know of. In my home I would sometimes fight with my sisters sometimes for attention and chores so that we can have more allowance money.
      There are nearly competition everywhere but I usually fight for stuff that might effect my future for example good grades, when I get older SAT grades and extra credits or bonuses in some classes. And sometimes the extra credit questions are only for one person.
       Sometimes at home I would also fight for food since we live with our grandparents and I have two sisters so my home is crowded and full of people. Sometimes when my mom buys some snacks or we a neighbor gives us some snacks or candy to eat I would need to sometimes eat the food first before it is eaten.
     For example my mom once bought some bread for breakfast and I wanted the chocolate bread and then my uncle came home that day and didn't know about that. And he wakes up really early and just took the bread and ate it so I guess that I would sometimes fight for food in my home too.

Do you think before you act?

Yes I usually think before I act, but I might sometimes think too long and annoy some people. Still when the answer to a choice between two things is really obvious I would not think and just act. However sometimes the act I need to make is really hard, for example once me and my sister went to a restaurant and we each ordered something. I forgot what I ordered but it sounded good and my sister ordered something else. When we got the food I took a taste of mine and it was not that good and then took a bite of my sister's and it was pretty good. I regretted ordering that meal and thought that I should've asked the waiter what was the meal. I also regret on other stuff besides food, like on tests when I just guessed an answer before thinking it throughly and got that question completely wrong ugh I regretted that for a long time. After those incidents I started to think in everything before I act and sometimes it helped me a lot. Although sometimes like I said earlier I sometimes think too long for something.

How do seasons affect you?

The temperature affects my mood. Like in spring I feel a little drowsy cause of the rain and the humidity. In the summer happy, because of the sunshine and the hot day with ice cream. Fall I feel free and loosely because it is warm and the weather and humidity is no too bad. In the winter I feel good and comfy cause when I rap myself in blankets it feels warm and that there are no more mosquitos since it's to cold. So of all the seasons I refer fall cause it's just the right ind of weather that I like. Some people like summer however I don't like it that much cause it gets too hot and then I get tanned and I hate it when it is like that. So season affect me by the weather, humidity and the temperature. However it seem like that I don't like spring, but in spring we can see cherry blossoms which are pretty, so I guess nature affects me too.
