The big reason this was some of my best work is because I really got into this game, as well as a lot of other people which made the game even better. I was very active in this game. I owned two power plants, so all the power in the game, two of the health care hexes, so all of the health care as well as the education and a green tile. During the game I made a lot of trades and deals and was always honest throughout the whole game which made my game play a hell of a lot easier. My family never died and I had enough money to provide the necessities and more. I was a very big part in this game, I had a seat in parliament every year and made some very big decisions with the seat in parliament. Besides that I had a lot of power with having literally all the power to power our city. I needed to stay really active and be aware for the first few years who really needed power and who didn't so I had a few more hard decisions to make. I really enjoyed being involved in this game which made this game some of my best work throughout the semester.
The reason I found this Blog post to be one of my best pieces of work is due to how deep into this topic I went with my dad. I really wanted to get/hear different opinions other people have about this. And I really am curious if people do see colors differently. I think it was a better piece of my work because of how much I cared/wanted to learn about this. I was/am really into this topic, it isn't "just another blog post" like a lot of my posts are, it is actually something I am really into learning/finding out about. I had really deep thoughts and conversations with other people and even got in fights with my parents (I won the fight) and got in a little bit of trouble because of how into this topic I was. Other reasons why this is my best work is because even after this blog post I have been researching it and learning more and more about this topic.
I found this to be my best piece of work for the whole semester, throughout every piece of work I have done this is my best. The reason I found this to be my best work is because the was a hell of a lot of hard work put out into it. This work was all done in a group of four. Kat, Chalotorn, Hailey and I. We spent a total of four or so weeks working on getting the information, creating the script, presentation and then practicing the information. We had our ups and downs during this process. We tried to call the cops to get statistics. The first time no answer, the second time we got through after twenty minutes but the officer said he couldn't help us so we had to go into the police station to get some information. We didn't get much but we got some info. When we were going to present obviously we were all nervous but we all did extremely well and Mr.Kemp was very impressed with our presentation and how well we did memorizing and speaking our script.
When I first heard of this course it was from when Mr.Kemp came into my English class. When I heard that we would be working on computers everyday, and we wouldn't have to have exams for English, Civics or History that was another bonus. I mainly wanted to take this course due to the usage of computers and the type of work we would be doing. I enjoyed hearing all the other peoples comments on this course and really wanted to take it as well. The only thing I did not like about this course is that there was not enough guidelines for our class. We have all been taught do this and that. It is great that we now have the opportunity to do what we want but I feel like it was to big of a step for some people including myself. Other than that this was a great course and I enjoyed it so much. The classmates and peers were great and supportive and the teacher, Well he was alright, Nah aha he was one of the greatest teachers I ever have had. This was a great course to take instead of taking Civics, Careers, and English all separately, it was (sounded like in my opinion) a better course to take and I would definitely recommend this to any grade 9 for next year.

Alright, so today in class we had to take these four different quizzes we had to take. Each one told us something about ourselves. Like by the end of the month I will only have $10 left of my pay, or I only have 11% initiative. I hate taking these kind of quizzes that apparently tell us “Who we are” or “What we are like.” I hate it when somebody else like society or in this case a quiz tells you or symbolizes “who you are” sure some of the results could be true, but is like a horoscope. They are meant to relate to everyone that reads it. Some of the answers I got offended me. One of my answers was that I have 7% conscientiousness. That answer I got is full of it, I know for a fact that that I am way more organized and cautious than what it tells me I am. These tests that everyone takes are usually for fun, but something like this, people could take serious. We all need to take a step back into reality, get away from the internet and not listen to what society or the internet classifies us to be. We define who we are, not someone or something else. |
