INDEPENDENT HOURS

what have i learned about myself through this experiment? that i have alot of more patience then i thought and im careing.

• Describe three moments of failure, success, indecision, doubt, humor, frustration, happiness, sadness? frankie's fight was a absolute sucess in the end at first i couldn't find the place and frustration was building but at the end we found it and i got there in time. ........the interviews i've done for the incoming 9th grade. was happiness i enjoyed touring them around the building and answering thier questions.

• How will service learning change your future behaviors/attitudes/and career? i will have more symothy for kids with cancer and i will donate to them more. hospitals, institutes....etc.

What else could be done to change the situation:
o Locally
o Nationally
o Internationally


nationally

where am i in service learning

where do i stand when it comes to service learning? well, honestly i might say i'm far to the bottom. i have not done any volentary work anywhere so far. even though thats not good im not doubting myself just yet! i have a few things in mind i would like to do for this project. one thing would be babysit my nephew, volenter at an mental association/hospital or clean the streets for m community. when shall i began? very soon starting saturday i will watch{babysit} my nephew for the minumin of hrs. then one day next week i will make my hospital vist. ...{common question} what is the point of this whole project? i have no idea all i know is that we are supposed to get some type of credit by june 1st. what's the consequence? if not completed hours, you will be asked to make them up in your sophmore year on top of the extra hours you have to do. so that's 30 hrs!!!!. so minus well start now of i'll see you at the finish line.......miss shani-miyette hayes was soo here 3/24/08 bye bye!

reflection of n.h.d

N H D. it was a very long process! it was a learning experience that i appreciate. it was heckted everyone was running around! trying to get papers printed from certain rooms it was people in the hallway practicing their performance. with boards all over the floor and the strong smell of glue as people did exhibits. loud music in the imc as people replayed their documentaries for the last time. carts moved from room to room trying to do voice overs with no noise at all. my National History Day project was an sucess! my topic was welfare rights. i did an documentary my team members was cornelius talley and shaniya pryer it was tuff but we made it through. and im glad i can proudly say im positive that im reciving an A or B on this project. i've learned a lot in this experience. but next year i must say i think i might do an exhibit it looked more managable and less stressful. ....any way back to my project in my documentary contained 2interviews one of a homeless man and another was a man that worked at a welfare reform office. the reason why i picked welfare rights it because our school topic was Conflict and Compromise. and ealier in the year i did a project in welfare and i aced it so i asked myself like why not do it again. i learned how to manage my attitude when i was frustrated. my challenges was voice overs because we was having fun at the same time i kept laughing!!! i must admit this was the biggest project i've done in my life. doing it the second time i would say yes! i like reaching for the stars it's not only about finding the easy way out not all the time!..{lol}........miss Shani miyette Hayes

what should my grade be in this subject?

Well last report marking i did well i had an A but this marking period i think i should get a B . i honestly didnt work as hard as i did 1st. period i think i could;ve did better but i dont kknkow what i happen see i cant blame my other subs and projects i had such as NHD i can only blame myself. and nobody else or anything else but english sometimes i may be lazy but eventually i get my work done. but really the only think i slacked on is my blogger and how to write things in essay form instead of a direct answer. but besides that i think {personally} that i shouldnt get a failing grade at all. i made up my work that i missed or didnt do correct and i honelsty care about my grade because if i didnt i wuldnt be using my time for this i would be playing around.


But look on your point of view what do u think i should get? how do u think my work effort is in your class? do i talk alot?{duhh!} do i do my work? do you have to push me to do my things? but in the end i still do my work and get the job done dont i? so what do u think SHANI MIYETTE HAYES should get in your class? its not up to me its really up to you. this is your decision. does shani deserve to pass or fail????? this is your questions that you have to answer its not up to me at all. if i was you know i wouldve made me an A+....lol{but naw im serious}


So your decision is your decision i have to let you decide . what you want my grade to be. but i know thats not a failing grade because i know what i deserve not what im going to get. so this is in your hands. this semester i had so far in english i must admit was long! and sometime tiredsing but i must say it was worth the expereince some days i wanted to cut some days i wanted to act llike im sick but i didnt i just came in and did what i had to do to get it over with. some days i been a clock watcher every 2min. i glance at the clock but all is well
