sky Karasik weekly letter assignment


Things I have learned this school year


1. Be more patient with people (Including teachers)

I learned to be more patient with others and myself by , none other than Mr. Brown himself. This kind and caring man has taught me a lot and many of the life lessons he has taught us have been affective in my life. I take all of his life lessons and many other lessons to heart and put them to good use, for instance when my friends are acting a certain way I calmly let it die out and have patience, then I give them my piece of advice in how they can work the issue out. 



2. Be more open minded about things like: Ideas in group projects, then give opinion

I learned to be open minded, also by Mr. Brown. When he had us separate ourselves into groups for our PSA's project, I thought "ok, this could either end badly or have a surprising outcome". During my group discussions on how we were going to go about forming and filming our PSA I sat and listened. After a while of listening to my group members talk I got an idea of my own that added all of the others together and in the end ours and everyone else's PSA's turned out amazing. From this particular situation I became a more open minded person, which in turn made me a better person, I listen more to my friends' opinions as well as my own.



3. Give yourself the credit you deserve for the things you have accomplished.

I have learned to give myself credit for the things I have accomplished by my learning center teacher Ms. Julie Hallgrimson. She has taught me a lot about how to be more appreciative of myself and all the hard work I do and to always keep a chin high up in the air no matter what. Because I have learned to respect and give myself more credit for all the work I do, I am getting better test scores , I'm trying harder than I have in the past and am on my way to a successful future.

If I were Margret..

If I were Margret…

If I were Margret’s parent I would have done the same thing, because it is the only safe place for her.

If I were her doctor I would have immediately had her parents put her directly into my care.

If I were her sister I would have told my parents to place her in the doctors care the second we noticed a difference in her.

I believe Margret would have rather had been home than in an institution, but her parents were trying there best to do what they thought was the right thing for her.

You need to think about her mindset, she is so shell shock (or you would) to really care where she (you) was, because her (your) mind would be too focused on what has happened to you rather than where you want to live. Overall, I would want to be put in an institution, because you are surrounded around a lot of doctors who care about you and are trying to help you the best they can.
