Learning from my struggles


The challenges I faced at school in the last few weeks were behaviour, concentration and instructions. I had problems listening to and understanding instructions. In Hard Materials class, I couldn't understand enough how to use the equipment such as the belt sander. I used the machines improperly.

Due to this, I was moved out of Hard Materials class and I decided to move to Music class, which is safe.

I was having a hard time concentrating. One time, I got upset that I still need to do my work while other students were already allowed to play games. Out of frustration, I spoke very impolitely to my teacher and teacher aide when they told me to finish my tasks. 

My mum and dad had to talk to me about these issues and gave me time to think. They took away my multimedia privileges for exactly 4 days!

The privileges I lost were my computer, the television, the Nintendo 2DS, the iMac and simply every computer or mobile in the house. My only freedom was books, food, toilet, drawing, bathtime and bedtime. I also had to do jobs around the house such as cleaning up the house and mowing the lawn.

To earn my multimedia privileges back, I have to finish at least 90% of my school tasks everyday
If there are less than 10 tasks I have to do, I have to do them all.

I have to successfully earn my multimedia privileges at least 4 out of 5 weekdays to earn multimedia privileges on Saturday and Sunday.

But if I can get 100% on all 5 weekdays I will not just earn multimedia privileges on Saturday and Sunday, I will also be able to have a McDonalds meal.

At school, I will have to ask for help if the task is hard. I also need to get enough sleep, eat less sugar, drink more water and pray that God will help me change my bad behaviour into good behaviour and not struggle so much at school.

Camp Reflection

Starting Point: Farm Cove Intermediate approx. 08:00, 25/10/2017 I arrived at school for camp. I went on bus 3. My dad was with me in all of camp. approx. 08:50, 25/10/2017 I began my trip to Totara Springs. The trip took around 02:30. Then I finally arrived.

The first time I tried it, I spun around and ended up on my back. Dinner 1: 05:30-06:30, 25/10/2017 The dinner was lasagna and some other food, like carrot sticks, corn and greens. I took more than the required time to finish at least 50% up. Campfires: Approx. 07:00-08:30, 25/10/2017 This is my first time creating a camp fire in my life.

Humour

Dictionary definitions 01) the quality of being funny 02) aka sense of humour -  the ability to appreciate or express that which is humorous 03) situations, speech or writings that are thought to be humourous Origin From the Latin humor meaning   moisture , related to Latin ūmēre to be wet, Old Norse vökr moist, Greek hugros wet In ancient and medieval physiology, it refers to any of the four body fluids (blood, phlegm, choler, and melancholy or black bile) which were thought to determine physical condition and state of mind. (Found this information online.) What does it mean when a person has a sense of humour? A person is thought to have a sense of humour when other people find him funny.

About my mum

About my mum But not the only person I love. Born on 27 June 1980 in the Philippines, my mum (full name: Wrigley Expression Santos) currently works for Auckland Council. She writes about services of the massive Auckland Council. She and my dad (Glenn Santos, born May 6, 1979) worked very hard and they migrated from the Philippines to New Zealand. My mum works very hard and has never been fired a single time. That means everytime she moves into a different office, she leaves work.  She did many things on Google Drive over the recent few years. She takes care of her second baby (Stella Lily Santos, born October 30, 2015) firmly and she and I have fun with her. My mum really hates cats. They scare her and sends my dad to scare them away.  Sometime in April she encountered a dog. She kept still and told the council there was a dog out on the street. If it were a cat, the situation would be even worse. She loves me very much. Sometimes she can tell me off because she ca...
