"A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way" ~ John Maxwell

Evening Class:

Last night we watched a movie called 'Mabo'.​ This movie was about an aboriginal man from the Torre straight island called Eddie Mabo. He got in trouble for harassing a woman at the island and got sent to the west where he worked on a rail way. He met a girl and they eventually got married and had 4 kids, they were in love. Mabo was so dedicated to his aboriginal culture. The bad thing about it was that he had to sit separate from the whites and he wasn't allowed in the white man’s bar. Some of the things that the white people did to the aborigines was just terrible. Eventually he realised a case for Torre straight Islander rights and won the case 6-1. The sad thing was that Mabo died of cancer before it was announced and he was urgently sick. I loved how it showed actual recordings of the people and some of the events back in early 1950-1970.

AM Class:

In my AM class today we got told what was the required tasks we had to have done with our passports and also got quite a bit of time to work on them. We just learnt what we had to do for the learning journey. The learning journey is when we talk about what classes or things happen around this campus that makes you better at this skill. I got quite a bit done in this time. I set new goals, made all new tabs for my Passport, and did some of my learning journey. I will have to start taking this a bit more serious now by choosing my time wisely and doing my work in spare time.

PM Class:

In today’s PM class we had CPR Exams. Even though we learnt all the basics a few weeks ago everyone started to forget them and we had a run through of what the exam was and what we needed to do. All we needed to do was demonstrate if someone was unconscious on the ground how would you bring them back to life. We had a word that represented what you had to do, DRSABCD, this stands for look for DANGER, look for a RESPONSE, SEND for help, AIRWAYS, BREATHING, CPR, DEFIBULATOR. When it came to the exam I was all good until I got to the CPR where I held their throat instead of the mouth and the pace of what I was pushing down on the chest was way too slow. So the next time I nailed it and got the perfect time and went a little better on holding the mouth and not the throat.​​​​ Overall I passed and I still have 2 other sessions so I hope there not as hard.

WHAT DID YOU DO>>>Today I had CPR and PP5 Refocus, My goal was to finish all the tabs on weebly and finish my new goal.
WHAT DID I LEARN>>> I learnt today about what to do if a person is choking and also what happens when an asthmatic has an attack and how does it happen. 
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN>>>​ I felt relaxed and tired throughout the day and I wished I got a bit more sleep, I needed to focus a little more and focus on the task and wait till after to have a rest.
NOW WHAT>>>​ I can apply this learning in the future by if someone is unconscious I can save them. I can apply these skills when I am older and I have a job and how I can use these strengths I learnt in Passport towards my job.
 
Today I was student leader with Hayley Rogers, My goal was to build on social relationships and the way I was going to do this was to hand around with new people and know a new fact about someone, The new and interesting fact I learnt about someone was Carl who was born on a veranda.
