2010 BE statement


Hello world this is a brand new year of 2010 in our class we have an activity which is called 2010 BE statement. The BE statement is like dream on who you want to be but instead of your future, it talks about what you want to be this year. My BE statement is to be more responsible and to have more faith in God and I chose this goal for many reasons. The reason I choose to be more responsible is that sometime, I like o be irresponsible and that the bad thing about being irresponsible is that you canot organize well and you cannot do time managment well so it is important that I be responsible so that I can do my time management well and so that I can finnish work on time. Also, the reason I choose to have more faith in God is so that I can have a closer relationship with Him so that I can learn more and more about God. The bible verse that helps me to remember to do these things is taken from James 2: 26 which says: As the body without the spirit is dead so faith without deeds is dead

Unit 3 How we organize ourself

Hi world, I will talk about my unit that we are starting and doing. In this unit, we discuss about human right and also social justice. Human rights are right that each human should have like our shelter, food, clothing and other daily need are provided because we were provided by our family generation but what about the street childerns? how about the peoples who lives on the slumps? They were born poor and had to fight for their lives and so organizations like KDM and also YCAB help these people and tried to rebuild their lives. Social justice also refers to human right but social justice is refering to the structure of the country and that without social justice, the country's justice system would not be organized and every thing would go wron. In this unit, our task was to build an organization and my groups organization is called International Alliance.Our organization helps in preventing child soldier to happen and we design our own vision and mission. At first it was hard but we manage to do it in a short time. In this unit I also design my own 3 lines of inquiry which is a question that I would answer by the end of this unit and here are my 3 lines of inquiry
  1. Why is it important for a country to have social justice
  2. How can they prevent the increase of human right issues
  3. What would happen if there are no organizations that help people on the slum areas

Well thank you for reading this update about my unit I hope that you can read my next updated blog, thank you for reading

Do Hard Things Reflection Chapter 1 & Chapter 2

Do Hard Things Reflection Chapter 1
The positive about the felling that I had when I read chapter one is that it starting to persuade me to do hard things that like the book author was talking about. Another positive felling that I have is that it wants me to visit the website that they made because by reading the comments that some people already commented, it make me to look into their website and read the information that they had. The felling that I had for the author is that they take risk that even teenagers would not dare and so I think that I can do it also some day. The negative felling that I had when I was reading this chapter is that I was thinking that I haven’t have the courage to stand out of my comfort zone so one day I would try to do like the author does. Another negative felling is that I have is that the book was telling the truth which is teenager never get out of their comfort zone so I want to rebel it someday and try to do an impact. There is another negative felling which is that I never that very successful on doing works other than school work and even that there was still trouble on the school work and by reading the book the title better than success gives me an inspiration that even though I fail some works that is outside of school work I still can improve in the future. What I like about this chapter is that it tells the beginning of the story and also the progress of the author and how they were success on making the blog which gives me a thought saying “ can someday I do that?” and by asking myself I think I know the answer which is yes. Another thing that they like is that they started their own campaign and mostly, teenager is participated and through their blog many teenagers were inspired so I was thinking of a way so that I can someday start a blog where I do another problem that teens face and maybe someday I can do it. The thing that I like about this chapter is that through their hardship they can accomplish something like for example from 2,200 viewer and jumped to 12,800 and for me is like that is surprising how God use these teenager to do something extraordinary and it is interesting for me. Another thing that is interesting is that how God use them from a normal-studying teenager to be rebels against low expectation and for me I would never do that but God gave them the will and courage to do it. What I don’t like about this chapter is the last sentence which is “in the upcoming chapter, we will show you how” because they could change the sentence to be more interesting which make teenagers encouraged when reading the next chapter. Another thing that I don’t like is that in page 4 it says the book was challenging and in my opinion, what part of it is challenging? The understanding or the reading? So I think that they can just change that small starting phrase and make it better for other peoples.

Do Hard Things Chapter 2 Reflection

The positive felling about this chapter is that in this chapter, it tells about the beginning of the rebelution website so it was interesting for me to read. Another positive felling that they can come up with a new- interesting word and for me it seems interesting. The main positive that I found about this chapter is how they wake up one day and just came up with this idea and I was thinking it was God’s will or their interesting part of the conscience speaking. The negative felling in this chapter is that I feel sad for the boys and I cannot imagine what happen when my parent gave a stack of book to read and if I was given a pile of book like that I would be either fainted or receive the book and don’t read it. Another negative thing (in my opinion) is the name of the blog, rebelution because they can came up with longer and more creative name. Also in page 10 it says that when It was break, God closed the door and they didn’t follow the direction and if it was me I would directly try to pray to God asking for and assignment or just praise Him because that was another assignment that God gave us.
What I like about this chapter that I can apply is that when I have children I would gave them many books to read to make them smarter and also so that it becomes a habit. The thing I dislike is that if they know that God doesn’t gave those children assignment, why didn’t they do other outside of school without their parents telling them. Another I like about this chapter is how they started the blog for doing something than doing nothing because it gives me an inspiration because if I had nothing to do, I would play games or just being lazy. What I also like is how they tell the beginning of rebelution in this chapter and how they were able to tell the personal side of the rebelution. The Myth of Adolscence was one of the first article that grabs teen attention and for me it also grab my attention. Another thing that I like the best is how the New York Daily News put their blog and for me if it was my company it would be an honor and by looking their hard work it made me fell good and it made me feel that God can use me someday.

Grade 6 Retreat


At Wednesdat, we went to Lembah Hijau in our spritual retreat and that we stayed there for three days and then we came back. We do many things through out the retreat, we had many fun activities such as hiking and also doing the sport activities. For me I like doing the hiking but I don't really like swimming in the first day because, when you go in to the pool, it is so cold that I could fell my body starting to froze. But I also like doing the fishing but too bad that I didn't caught any fish. We also do the talent show and I do a drama about "how to be polite to you teacher" and it was fun but for me, the suprising moment is seeing my teacher, Mr.P dance because it was the first time for me to see my teacher dancing. We also had the Bonfire ( is not the real fire due to the rain and we had to use a look-like bonfire) and during that time, we had to write the bad things that influence our life and after that, the teacher burn it in a real fire



During this reatreat, I also learnt many things through out this retreat especially the messages that Mr.Rob told us about hope. Hope turns out to have diffrent meaning in each letter like for "H" it stands for help, "O" stands for Obey and other letters had other meanings. I learnt that we had to obey and do what God said in the bible rather reading but not obeying it and that I also leant that God uses people that is not always be perfect but those people follow his ways. I also learnt that we should use our talents to worship God like for example Eric Lidell who worship God by running for God and also do other sports because he enjoyed sport.



During this retreat, I also influenced people like Josan, William and also Vincent and I influence them by talking to them but also play card with some of them like Josan and William and for me, it was great to influence with these people in a positive way.

Week 2, Unit 2 Reflection

I felt releaved at the end of this week for the fact that we had been working hard on our movie makers. What is the movie makers? Well I will tell you what is our movie maker, the movie maker is a project that we had to do based upon energy and that is renewable and non renewable energy. The project was to make a movie and play it on Friday (well some have to do it on Monday like me but those from 6B who already show the movie during Friday don't fell ofended). After some of the students show their movies, I realized that mine was not so good so during this week end, I will make sure that my movie maker is better (I think is bad not because it is bad okay).

UOI Reflection

During the past six weeks, we have been doing many different activities like brainstorming the influences in our life. At first we only brainstorm by our self then we organize it into four separate tables that organize which influence should go in there. Not only we discussed our influences but we also watch “Bill Nye the science guy” about Cells during our class time. Not only we watch Bill Nye the science guy but we also do the “Why am I like my relative?” worksheet that has to be done based on our knowledge that we learn about the human body in the past few weeks. We did a web quest to search about cells from the animal cell and the plant cells. Then after a while we also have to make edible cell representation to represent the animal or the plant cell. I took the animal cell and there were pretty easy to make but I wasted many edible materials especially rice.

In those past six weeks, I also learnt many new things about myself and about God. The things I learnt about myself are that my body is made of billions of cells and each of the cells has many different purposes to keep my body alive. Each Cell has a nucleus which keeps the information about my genes and about my DNA. Not only learning about my body made of cells surprised me but I was also formed from an egg that is from my mom. At first, I thought that the mom can get pregnant without doing anything and after a while, I realized that the egg must combine with the sperm before it changes into and embryo. Not only I learnt about that but human, animal, plant cells are all different and that each one has unique organelle that is required to keep them alive. For example, if a plants Vacuole which is and organelle that keeps the water storage ran out of water, the plant would wilt and apparently dies. Human, Animal, Plant cells had different organelles because of these organelle was put into wrong cells it could be wrong for example, if a animal cell had a vacuole, the animal must keeps on drinking and if the vacuole tank is dried maybe the animal would die. The things I learnt about God is that he made us wonderfully with His own hands and that God made the human in his own image. Not only I learnt about that but each and every human is different and even though twins looks the same, both of them still different. If the world have the same face, same talent and same thinking the world would be boring. People think that when they were born disabled that God had mistake during the creation but they were wrong, God made us so that we would be perfect and even though some people were disabled they still can do the purposes that God wanted them to do.

I enjoyed many things throughout the last six weeks and I will tell you what I enjoyed. I enjoyed learning new information because information makes me learn new knowledge and that the knowledge can make me learn new and interesting things. Throughout the past six weeks I learnt about why our body change does and how do it grow and that I realize that each year we grow taller and bigger and that our face also changes as times goes by. We cannot fell the transformation of our body as we grown older, but no matter you like it or not your body as times goes by. Not only I had enjoyed learning new informations but I also enjoyed listening and looking at interesting facts. One of the things that was interesting for me is our cells, our cell are different than any other animal and plant cell but even though our cells looks the same, the DNA information is different. Each DNA is different because it was passed down from your family generation and that the DNA had 8 trillion combinations just to make you yourself. Not only I learnt that each cells have different DNA but I also learnt new facts about sperms, sperms only reason to live is to form you and that I learnt that when it goes into your moms Vagina, the sperm would race each other to get into the egg and if a sperm already gone into the egg, the rest of the sperms would die.
Not only I learnt and enjoy many new things but there were some challenging parts that I had to face. At first, when I had a problem I would be confused but even though I got confused I still have to do my work so I came up with a strategy. If I got confused, the first thing that I do is that I try to work the homework first and if I can’t do it I first try to call my friend. If the friend also confused what to do, I would search the internet and find the definition or at least try remembering the things Mr.P told us. If I’m out of option then I would e-mail to Mr.P and ask him what to do. For the next unit, I want to improve some of the things that I did wrong such as time management skill and listening skill. For time management skill, I want to improve organizing my time because some time I thought that the work is still due in a long time and sometime when the project was nearly due, I would work on it and it becomes a late minute work which is bad for me. I would also try to make game plans and make sure that I make my own deadline and make sure that I also hand in the work on time so that I would prevent last minute works. I also have to make sure that I have to hand in work on time so that I don’t disappoint the teacher and that so that I had good marks. Not only have I had to improve on my time management skill but also my listening skills. For listening skill, sometime I didn’t pay attention and got confused on doing the project and it could make me hard to make the project. So I want to make sure by the next unit so that I would understand the task clearly so that I can do the project. Not only listening well needs to be improved but listening to instruction clearly is important, if I know what to do for the project but don’t know how to write the format of the project, it would be difficult for me to do it so by the next unit I want to make sure that I have to listen to instruction clearly so that I won’t make huge mistakes like my oral presentation for a example.

Many times we should be strong in one IB profile and PYP attitudes and every people had the same one but I would tell you what I’m strong at. At the PYP attitudes, I am strong in Independence and Appreciation because there were the two attitudes that I have been working on so far. Independence make sure that I could do it alone and that I understand the project well. For appreciation, it makes sure that I appreciates other peoples work and also my own work by pledging that the work was good. For my IB profile, I was strong at Thinkers and knowledgeable and I will tell you the reason why. One of my profile which is thinkers was strong is that because I like to think a lot and it sound strange but I like to think about new ideas on how to improve my work or how to do my work. I was also strong at knowledgeable because if I know I have to do some works, I should be knowledgeable on what I’m doing because I would know what to write and that what I wrote should be appropriate for my task. I will make sure that I would improve some of my mistakes and learn new attitudes and profile as times goes by in grade six.
