Have you ever witnessed a crash and later on find out it was your friend? It was a normal day like any other. In fact, the day was beautiful. The skies were blue and the sound of birds filled the air. I was out driving with my love interest at the time and we decided to go to a nearby lake to swim and cool off.

Weekly Reflective Journal #6 The week was successful and fast. I felt that my learning segment leant itself to my goal for literacy to be engaging for students. The class was excited to work and participated in discussion and writing down their research. No student argued about writing this past week. I believe it is because they knew the purpose of writing and were actively engaged in the learning. In math the students worked hard with the new activities in the Investigations unit. However, on…

“Mom I’m out the door,” I said to my mom. She replied with, “Okay honey, see you later.” I was on my way to go hiking in the woods. As I was walking, I heard a thumping sound. Then it stopped, so I thought it was nothing. I started walking again. Again, the thumping sound came. I started running, and the thumping sound followed me.

It is because when people first start working toward something they want they work hard. People put endless effort into becoming successful. Making connections, creating ideas and learning from mistakes made along the way. Once these people became comfortable they had no need to keep working hard. So they stop. Everything…

I was busily working at school on a Friday when I heard some stunning news: the President of the United States, Barack Obama, would be coming to my hometown, Kotzebue, Alaska. “Have you heard Obama is coming to Kotzebue in a few weeks?” asked Mr. Gindt. My class and I were informed about the surprising news from my lively teacher during class and thought he was messing around cause he’s the type who jokes about things a lot.
