#19 the last one

i think this semester has been a very good experience for myself, and i am liking the changes it has made on me and my life. i think that i am a more positive person and can deal with things alot better now than i could have a few months ago, and it has improved my self confidence and socail skills knowing that i can talk to people alot easier now even if i don't hangout with them on a day to day basis.

post #18

he is a leader because he faces MANY everyday challenges that people wouldn't have to face in their lives, he is so inspiring and talented i think that what he does to show people how to do things even work around small things to keep on truckinnn' is awesome he shows them what its really like to be down and helpless, but he also shows how to get up and move on with things that are holding you back.
everythings perfect but no one is happy..

i think that some people just try to take the easy way out of things that others would simpily just find another way to do something about it. for example the people in this video could have easily just walked up the stairs, but they were clearly unmotivated but if they were more motivated they'd move forward. you shouldn't let soemthing small like that keep you from contiuning on with your journey, just think of other ways to make the journey fun and successful. a way to get people motivated is show them how fun it can be and how much better they'll feel once they reach their point of success.

#14 my last lecture.

if i only had a short time to live, i would want people to know that everyone makes mistakes and there are ways you can fix them just make sure that whatever you do you do it for the best because you do not want to live with regret. i would also want to get accross the point of everythings perfect but no one is happy, just when your down take a minute to look around and notice what you have, don't be sad or mad because life cant get much better then what canada has to offer. always give people chances stay AWAY from bullying and drugs and things that can hurt other people and try to be the best person you can possibly be.

Changing the world project

1) I am going to change the world by stopping bullying. Not by saying im going to do something or telling someone to stop. But physically get myself involved to help someone, weather that be talking to someone directly or gettting someone who can truly help involved.

2) This topic is important to me because over the month of novemeber and a bit of october as well i had a really good friend threaten to kill himself because he was being bullied. That was not okay to hear, and not a good reason so i got involved, i talked to the people who were doing the bullying, the victim himself and also got people involved that could truly help, he is now being home schooled and living with my aunt :) it really had a personal impact on my life knowing that i was one of the 3 people that helped him out and convinced him that he does matter no matter what people say to you.

3) I would like to start it today for other people, and it started about a month ago for myself. yes bullying is a popular subject and people do little things to help stop but i am asking for people to come out of their comfort zones and honestly HELP, get INVOLVED and if you have suspicions of someone being bullied or you know its happening and you just dont want to get involved because it will start drama, do it anyways because these people are too afraid too speak for themselfs and will really appreciate it. And think of it this way, you COULD be saving someones life. So do what you can, a little bit of drama wont hurt and if it does, get an adult to get involved. Find a solution for the people that are afraid to speak up.

4) I need people to start thinking about more SERIOUS concequences that people have to face and deal with everyday, think about what you can REALLY do to make a difference not just say something, DO something about it. Having a little bit of drama in your life is nothing compared to what some people deal with in their everyday life.

today!

Today was a VERY emotional day for me. i found out things i NEVER would have thought about people, and somethings that i wish i didn't know.. they were heart breaking. i am sooo proud of everyone who spoke and who didn't because wether you did or not, it made a change for everyone. i think this will  change us allllllll through out this class and next semester. i hope to see a change in the way that people treat other people, i truly am.
i am glad that i cleared things up with a certain someone, it makes me so happy to see that the past CAN stay in the past and just to focus on the future.
i think everyone who spoke, in the class and at the arena are VERY strong people for being able to talk about their problems, to top it off infront of people that you don't know and aren't rally comfortable. i think even if theres not a change right away in the long run there will be and i cant wait until it happens!
this school gets worse and worse everyday because of the drugs, fights, harrassment, and teasing. i think that with this we NEED to have challenge day happen at IDCI, because it will change the future and with it getting worse and worse, it needs it big time.
no matter how much the cost, it will be worth it! maybe next time make it more then 100 people, even if that means having it HERE at our school for a few days and such. because i think EVERYONE  in idci should have a chance to experience this and be able to make a change (L)(L)(L)
ILOVEYOUGUYS. and this class, i am deffinatly gonig to miss it.
our little "if you really knew me" even in this class will make me think twice before i say something about some one or stand up for people who are being talked ABOUT  by someone forsure.
