Who We Are Reflection

Who We Are

An inquiry into the nature of the self-

          I thought that this was about finding who you really are and not being afraid of showing it.  This was very important to discuss since we are going into middle school.  We should never be afraid of what others think of us.  The only person who gets a say in yourself is you and that is what really counts.

WHAT I LEARNED- Being who you are no matter what others think of you

Beliefs and values-

When we discussed what we thought values are not important I found out what I really followed as a student, child, and citizen.  Empathy, success, leadership, reliability, and prudence are what I value and hope to always keep following because I know that they are right.  These really reflect my actions everyday and I have only really have thought about this know.

WHAT I LEARNED- That my values announce who I am

          Personal, physical, mental, social and spiritual health-

This was something that was very new to me and took a little time to fully understand.  I interrupted this as subjects that are where most problems occur.  It feels as if people really struggle with this and it is something that is really hard to think about.  For me this is where exhibition ideas started to spark because it felt like I dug very deep even with the small activity we completed.

WHAT I LEARNED- Hard Core stuff

          Human Relations: families, friends, and communities-

When I made my glog I realized that these are some of the most important things in life.  I saw how friends connect you to others and help you along the path of life.  Then I saw what a big impact communities have.  A lot of your life is best around it and it is like your game board if you are the playing pieces.  Family was very hard for me to discover but then I realized that it is the things you do in life that they enjoy with you and the place you can turn to for support.

WHAT I LEARNED- The building block of life and the people that help you through it

          Rights and responsibilities-

When I made my T-chart I saw that you rights are what you have the right to do without any approval.  These are things like the right to speak your mind.  The reason we have the Bill of Rights is so these rights will always be protected.  Responsibilities are things that you are supposed to do or are required to do.  Like you are supposed to do community service but you are required to follow the law. Your rights and responsibilities is how our government runs.

WHAT I LEARNED- Protect your community by following these

    

What it means to be human-

Our class digged under and found what the true meaning was of what it means to be human.  Many of us thought that it was about helping other.  I thought that overall we wanted to really help people with fewer opportunities than us.  This is exactly what I thought that what it means to be human.  The hard task about this assignment was it was hard to really get passed the idea of the story and really find out what it means.

WHAT I LEARNED- That we don’t have one soul purpose to be on the Earth

          Conclusion-

At first for exhibition I wanted to do something about puppy mills, but now I have realized that it is more than that it is about you.  Know I still Have to brainstorm what I want to do since it is harder than I thought.
