Journal+Semester+1

REFLECTION ONE Journal Weeks 1 - 3 Over the past three weeks I have achieved a lot. I have fully planned three activities and started two of them. Later after I had planned the three of them. I found out that my new skill wouldn’t work but still had to hand it in.

During the first week I had completely finished my community service planning and called them but was still waiting for a call back. I also planned most of my personal development & health project which is a fitness program for me. During the second week I didn’t participate on Monday’s excursion to the courage to care because I was at CFA training but did participate in the aboriginal for a day program. I think everybody learnt something from the aboriginal for a day program and it was very good with the performances. I also got my personal development & health project completely planed and got the green sheet signed and ready to go. I also started my community service project for the meals on wheel program and it went well.  During the third week my main target was to get my new skill planed. I got it planed before the end of the Tuesday and later found out that the project wouldn’t work because my teacher for the new skill and I couldn’t get a date that suits us both. I also started my personal development & health program on the Wednesday and got some times record that I will aim to improve over the eight weeks. This week was also the first time I met up with my mentor because last week I had CFA. REFLECTION TWO Journal Weeks 4 - 6 During the forth week of PB I have had a lot of trouble. I haven’t been able to think of a new skill and I got kicked out of my event group. GREAT! But some good news is that an extra part of my personal development project, the strength part can work because I half joined another activity and can do it during Monday, Wednesday and Friday lunch times which will give me something to do instead of being bored. Also this week I didn’t do my community service because I went to VRAP which was a great time. During the fifth week I tried to make an event to Albury to see a movie and that but then decided that I could organize one for my family or something like that. I haven’t yet got a beliefs and values and I haven’t got a new skill. I am starting to not like PB because it very difficult to get everything up and running.

During the sixth week I changed the idea of organizing a trip for my family to something like going to the Albruy Skating Village with some kids and having a good time skating around. I’m also looking at doing the “Spirit of ANZAC” competition with probably the 1000 word essay. I still cant think of a New Skill and I feel I’m running out of time.

REFLECTION THREE Journal Weeks 7 - 9 During the seventh week I continued along my fitness program and so far I have improved my time by a total of 31 seconds. I also did my third community service and I seem to be getting to know everything like what I have to do and who the people are. I also scraped the ANZAC, beliefs and values project and started a group one with Jeffery where we look at different foods that are eaten because of people’s religions. I also have a new skill; I’m learning to play the guitar. I’ve planned most of it and Mr. Chambers is going to teach me. During the eighth week I have decided not to do my beliefs and values project by myself because Jeffery isn’t doing anything and I’m doing it all so I’m doing it by myself. I also started my guitar and I seem to be able to pick up part of what I had learnt a couple of years ago. Sometimes I don’t know why I stopped in the first place. I’m also going to do Jewish and Islam cultures for my beliefs and values. Also for my fitness program my times are still continuing to get better. It’s better by another nine seconds. During the ninth week I have so far done eight mentoring groups and gone to every peer teaching session we have had. I also did another guitar session and I feel I’m getting better. I had my fifth community service session and I’m enjoying it. I think I’m going to do more than my eight sessions, also with my personal development. Both those I’m going to continue into next term.

REFLECTION FOUR Journal Week 10 During the tenth week I didn't have my guitar lesson because I was sick and I had my fifth community service. I also didn't record a time for my Personal Development project due to doing other things.
