Interdisciplinary Project

When I found out about our interdisciplinary projects I was upset because I knew it was a hard project to do. Last year when I did it was hard for me to present to a class. I’m a really shy person in front of people I don’t know. My topic was hepatitis, but we had to do a lot of work because it wasn’t just one hepatitis it was hepatitis A, B, C, D, E, and G. It was a lot of work that I had to do because I got a hard part of the project. I did a lot of research and I couldn’t find anything so I kept looking for more research. I had to also do an essay so I did it and it was pretty easy. It was close to presentation week and I still hadn’t found anything about how hepatitis affects local individuals. I was stressed out because we had finals after the presentation and I had to study but with my part of the project still not done I wasn’t going to be able to study. After days and days of research I finally found something and I quickly finished the power point presentation. I was so happy that I had finally finished everything. Now the only other problem I had was my speech. I didn’t know what to say and whatever I was going to say I had to memorize as well. I decided to look for some facts about my part of the project and I soon had a speech. I memorized it and I felt proud of my work. The next day it was presentation day I wasn’t nervous at all that was until I got home from school. I was nervous because I didn’t want to forget my speech and also I was going to be in front of people I didn’t know. After I got home I started to get ready and practice my speech. When I got to school I was really nervous and I was forgetting all my speech. Then they told our group to start getting ready because we were going to present next. As I was practicing I was super nervous and I had forgotten my speech so I had to read of my card. When it was our turn to present I was scared to forget what I had to say but I kept rereading my card. We were up and presenting. After we finished I felt so relieved that we had finally finished our project. We got some good comments and overall I think my group and I did a good job. 

Student Success Statement
“When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad.” 
Abraham Lincoln

Reflection: This quote is saying that if I choose to do wrong I will always feel bad but if I choose to do right I will always feel good. For example if I choose to do drugs I might feel good at the moment when I’m doing drugs but later in life I will always feel bad because that was a wrong choice to make and the drugs can have a consequence too. If I choose not to do drugs later in life I will feel good for making a good choice by staying away from drugs and I will not feel guilty for doing something wrong nor having the consequences that drugs have.

Student Success Statement
You Are in Charge
“Take responsibility for your own body, mind, and spirit, for your own physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.”
Mr.Haymore                                   

Reflection: I think that this statement is true because we are all supposed to be in charge of our own self to be happy and have a good life. We need to take control of our body to be happy, our mind to think straight, and our spirit to be happy as well. If we take responsibility for these things we can be happy with ourselves because we are living the way we want to live.

The sting of the scorpion
I think that Patrick the little boy choose the wrong because he choose to get stung he didn’t have to get stung but because of his wrong choice he did get stung. His parents told him to always wear his shoes not sandals and he disobeyed them by not wearing his shoes because he thought that nothing was going to happen to him. I think that we should always obey our parents because they know what is right and what is wrong they tell you to do things because they care for you and they have been through that already. I think if he would’ve obeyed his parents by wearing his shoes nothing would have happened to him and he wouldn’t have gone through all the pain he went through.


Student Success Statement
“Always do right.”

Reflection: I think that what he says is true because we should always do everything right so that we can live a long, happy, right life.

Physical Fitness

“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body; it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.”

President John F. Kennedy

Reflection: I think that this quote is true because to have a healthy mind you must also have a healthy body and in order to become healthy you must do physical fitness.
