Quote of the Day

"It’s impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well have not lived at all- in which case you fail by default."
~ J.K Rowling

Motivation Monday

ABILITY ​​​- is what you capable of doing
MOTIVATION- determines what you do
ATTITDUE- ​​determines how well you do it

Everything I do at this school I want to remember when I leave. I want to make decisions that my future self will thank me for. I have been staying positive all week and I will continue to do so throughout this week. My proudest moment would be that my design was voted for the front cover of the t-shirt. This made me feel really good. I was glad that almost everyone liked it and voted for it. It felt amazing. I think what made me feel better is that I put so much effort into it as well and did my very best to make sure that each icon represented someone, someway.

This week has a good start because I am motivated to finish expo and come back delighted ​and pleased to of gone way out of my comfort zone. I’ll be full of pride to tell my mum that we completed one expo.

Today’s Classes Am/Pm

​Today we did the same thing for both classes because we need to be ready to leave at 9 am tomorrow for expo. This day was to prep us for expo. We went through everything we needed and everything we didn't need. I got rid of a lot of things which made my pack much lighter. I was kind of worried that it would be too heavy. I'm not stressing as much now because I know it’s something I can overcome easily. No pain, No gain. I have never been camping in Australia in the bush, only glamping. This is going to be a Marvelous experience. Hopefully I will see lots of animals.  We set ourselves some goals. My goals are to work on my community engagement. We also set a group goal to become a better team using G.I.R.L.S.

G-getting to know each other
I- independence
R- respect
L- leadership
S- socializing

Today we also started to pack food for tomorrow and Wednesday. We went over who was carrying what. I realized that we use so much food just even for a small amount of us. Tomorrow we will just need to get the things from the fridge and our snacks. A positive of this class was mixing up tent partners so that we can mingle! A minus of the class is that I didn't get the main roles I wanted for expo but oh well. I will try to be one of them next time. An interesting thing about the class was the order we pack our gear in the bag. ​​​​​
