A SPEC OF GREATNESS
“In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. From hearing this amazing speech, that in 1990, Carl Sagan made NASA turn the Voyager 1 space craft to take a picture of Earth from 6 billion Kilometres away, He placed humans within the context of an infinite universe. From this phase I think it means Earth is in the great vastness of the Universe. However as small it may appear from that distance, it is so much more to us. For us it's our world ,the only known world which harbours life, sustain life, and it's our home. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which humans could migrate to. That tells us that if we screw up and destroy this wonderful planet. It will come to the point of extinction to all humankind. In addition i think it means, we need to fix our problem and help rebuild this planet. Can we, who have made such a mess of this world, be trusted with others. It makes you consider the world around you and the massive scale of the Universe. Take in consideration that this is our only 1 chance, if we fail and destroy this planet, theres no going back. In conclusion, I Tom Huynh, and my fellow human beings, we need to put our difference and side, and not fight. We need to work together and save this planet and ourselves. Or else, there won’t be a planet to rule over.

DING, DING, DING! when the crazy and childish kids are gone, and the teacher that is losing her voice because she has to tell the kids to "SHUT UP", oh wait shut up is a harsh word, I mean" BE QUIET". I get embarrasses when the teacher yells at my student. All my deskmates just stare at me. When the kids scramble for the door. I say"Finally I'm free" from that kid and those kids. They are so annoying every time they put their finger on me, I turn sticky and oh my, don't get me started on how long it takes Jab, the custodian to clean me.He starts from the door and comes towards me. Bob the wooden desk at wall takes so long to get cleaned. I had to make deals with and Bob, he makes the teacher move him.So the process of cleaning goes faster! In which case I will be cleaned faster.However, I'm finally free from those meddling kids. Oh forgot Mrs.Nazarchuk is here" shoot got to keep my voice down.." The teacher is looking, here it goes again and again. The waiting for the game. Hearing the clock tick, watching time go by. 3:00..4:00. Come on! Yes, she left. "hello, who's there.said Mrs. Nazarchuk", "oh no". come on Mrs.Nazarchuk just walk out and leave! You hate "teaching". Finally, she left. Hello, my name is Neo, Neo the desk. However, I don't know why there is a name tag named Tom glue to my desk. Like how strong is this glue I can't get it off! My friends and I sit in rows, I'm at the bottom right corner in a row with Bumblebee and ?. Their students are Jayson and Seffi. However my student... Mr. Tomtom that's what he calls himself. I know right, who calls them self TomTom. Every morning he unpacks his backpack. Let me tell you he brings the whole desk home. So every morning he put his things on the desk. Oh yeah, he doesn't place his books gently and nicely he "FRICKEN PLACES IT IN LIKE A CAVEMAN". After this, it just looks like a riot just happened inside me. Let's just put that behind us. Today I will like to tell a life behind a desk, my name is Neo, I am a desk. We desk have to stay still for 8 hours or even more. Some of us.Bumblebee falls asleep. We desk are used in schools and we have students that sit behind us. They use our heads as a writing area, they use to keep their belongings in us. However my student "Tom" is so annoying, so to get back at him. I like to eat his things like his pencils and eraser also his homework. As the sun shines over surrey, as the infinite sky is motionless above the hush of the evening on the edge of a vanishing autumn cloud. The crazy kids start scrambling in, and the teacher too and then it happens all over again...
"Is Cole going to be able to change once back in Minneapolis?"
Cole has been sent to the island. After years of violence and trouble with the law, Cole took his criminal streak a step too far when he viciously beat a classmate of his named Peter Driscal onto the floor of his school sidewalk. In which case Peter suffers head trauma, speech problems, and constant nightmares as consequences of Cole’s actions. When Cole arrived on the island, he is consumed by anger, bitterness, and an unwillingness to change. As soon as Edwin, and Garvey left, Cole sets fire to his constructed shelter and supplies. Through time Cole had been tested. He has a series of rituals that will support his healing and forgiveness process. He is instructed to take a soak in a freezing pond every morning to clear his mind of anger. Then, he must take a large rock called the “ancestor rock” up a hill, and then roll it back down as a symbol of releasing his anger. By doing this Cole has changed. He is more calm then when he was originally violence. He busies himself carving a totem pole .Cole feels ready to do the dance of anger. He again relived the bear attack, and he cries asking forgiveness for attaching Peter. He then forgives those who have hurt him, and he cries profusely. As the scene closes with Cole collapsing, exhausted, crying, halfway through the night, the Spirit Bear looks on, unbeknownst to Cole. In his last dance Cole learned to forgive. In the beginning Cole is angry with everyone. He employs his anger in the form of aggression, he abuses people, animals, nature, and whatever else he feels gets in his way. Through time Cole finds out the truth about his anger, where it comes from, how to approach and control it. He learns to trust through the people who help him. He learns to forgive, , he can feel remorse and desire forgiveness for his own actions. i think that Cole Matthews has changed and will be able to change once he is back in Minneoplis. Cyberbully, a person on the other side of the world, syaing rude and fake stuff about you,"what". Thats rude well, what if your best friend was the one saying those things to you? Well a girl a girl was hit with a wave of Spam of hate and discusting comments about her. What would you feel if your bestfriend, your friend that you trust and that been there for you. However they betraded you and wrote horrifing things to you. Also you dont even know doing this, however finding out its your best is crazy. I would be frusted and upset that the friend you look up to you Wrote mean things. My thoughts well, its crazy that your friend did that. They've torture you to the point that you think there no reason for you to have a life. TO the point where you want to hurt yourself and maybe kill yourself. Its just crazy that people sit at home and start saying rude and fake things about a person that is maybe, i don't know across the world! They dont know what that person had went through they dont know what the person is feeling.
Its just frusting that a girl that had a new laptop not even for 1 month and finds out that shes getting hate comments by her best friend..... . According to the Keeper, what is the point of the Circle, and why does regular justice often fail?11/16/2016 What is the point of the Circle, and why does regular justice often fail? Well…The whole point of the circle justice is to deal with criminal problems in the community. For example such as sacrifice, spiritual. So the circle of justice comes together to betterment their community. In addition the circle is not about punishment. For example Cole’s crime was that he beaten up peter and assaulted him. For that he could have gotten to go to jail but he decided to go to circle justice for help and fix his problem. The circle is not about punishment. It is more about taking responsibility for his actions, letting go of his pain and making amends. Prison simply punishes and would make Cole even angrier. Why does regular justice often fail? The regular system merely punishes the perpetrator without acknowledging the victim's needs. The perpetrator merely gets angry without taking responsibility for his or her actions.
Greg a hero? Is Greg Mortumson a hero, first he was going to climb the 2nd tallest mountain on Earth called K2. On his sister's behalf, however, he heard of 3rd world countries that don't have schools and the right to an education that they need. So he got money in the U.S.A and started to build schools. His first ever build was in Korphe, which is in Afghanistan. A small village where the kids don't have the right to an education. Girls in 3rd world countries don't have an education, only the boys do. Of course, if the boys have an education they will just leave their village and start a new life and family somewhere else. So Grey wanted to build schools for the women mostly because he heard that when the girls and woman get an education they will stay at their village and help them and not leave. So he wanted to help women get an education by building schools in 3rd world countries.

He has done a noble thing by giving 24 thousand rubies to a young girl for her to go to school. In conclusion, Greg has done an Amazing and flabbergastingly thing by helping kids get an education. In addition, Greg has joined C.A.I to improved his way to helping kids get an education. |
