This is a pie chart of the amount of hours that I spend throughout my average day. Sleeping taking up the majority of my day because the average person needs about 8-10 hours of sleep each day. And eating being the lowest, because I dont eat that much throughout the day but when I do eat I don’t take a lot of time. By “other”, I mean anything that isnt that important but still takes time. Such as walking, talking, sitting, etc.
This is a bar chart of people that I surveyed. I asked them what type of pet they had and I filled out my data accordingly. It seemed that most people had a dog, which was to be expected. Dogs are far better than cats because they are a loyal companion that always love to play and wont ever want to leave your side. The lowest amount of animals fell into the section of “other”. This was only one person, who stated that their pet was a parakeet which is a type of bird. It makes sense that this was the lowest because certain exotic animals are much harder to take care of.
This was my line graph which calculated plant growth. I used an app where you use certain amounts of water on a plant and measure the growth in days. For “Pot A” I used 20mL of water only and the growth was fairly slow.
QUESTION 1: My first two months at Heritage Woods have been better than I could have imagined. At first, I thought that it was going to be confusing, I thought that the people were going to be mean, and I thought that it would be very stressful, and it has been everything but that. I have made so many new peers and colleagues during my highschool experience, and I now have a better understanding about what it is to have a true friendship. Heritage Woods have gone above and beyond my expectations for a school. Most of the teachers are outgoing and friendly, and there is always someone there to offer a helping hand.
A piece of advise that I would offer to a middle schooler is to:
1: Do something that you’re afraid of doing. Whether its performing in front of the whole school, or trying a new sport, or maybe even taking a new class. When I signed up for dance I was nervous for it. I was scared that people were going to be judge me or laugh if I messed up. However, once you put that all to the side, you look worse if it shows that you’re embarrassed. Even some of the best people in your classes mess up, but it’s the recovery that makes it better.
2: My second piece of advise is to always ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask questions because if you don’t, you’ll be 100 times more confused. ˇThere are no dumb questions, and in the end, if you are confused then, you’ll feel dumb anyways when you get your worksheets back and it comes back as 0%. In the starting year, there were many things that i was confused about. Whether it was for worksheets or directions to classes, I always asked questions and I always felt relieved.
3: For my final piece of advise, something that I would recommend to the middle schoolers is to make lots of friends. It might be scary or new for you, but even if you’re shy, there are also shy people out there. It is also very useful to make friends in your classes because you can study together and build stronger friendships with each-other. You never know, you could meet people that you’ll be friends with for the rest of your highschool experience and maybe even your life.
I think that orange shirt day is important because we are honoring the First Nations that either survived the residential schools. By doing this we are showing the importance of inclusivity and individuality. We can take time to reflect on the past and realize the harm that residential schools made.
I think that 13 people to 94 is bad because it shows how little progress that the ideas have gone. There is a greater number of unfinished projects to finished. Canada could do many more things to improve the progress and amount of ideas getting completed. If they prioritized the needs of the First Nations communities then I believe that more projects would get done. They also haven’t completed any ideas for education which is very important because there’s things we need to do about learning and realizing about reconciliation.
Orange shirt day was created as a federal day as of June 2021. It was made for us to reflect and acknowledge about the terrible and cruel things that the First Nations went through. It can be a day for the Indigenous to show people of non-Indigenous heritage their culture and ceramonies so that their culture will not be forgotten.
The Call to Action 63 changes my perspective on things in many ways. For one, a rule states that “. In order to address the jurisdictional disputes concerning Aboriginal people who do not reside on reserves, we call upon the federal government to recognize, respect, and address the distinct health needs of the Métis, Inuit, and off-reserve Aboriginal peoples.” This should be common sense. I think that it is shocking to think that some people didn’t follow this rule and that is why these rules were set in the first place. We should treat the indigenous like how we treat every other person. They are no different from anyone else and yet they got different treatment,
As I was watching the video, I was shocked to find how they changed the name Kwikwetlem to a name thats easier to pronounce for the non-indigenous speakers. The non-indigenous fished out a river full of salmon without thinking of the consequences to either the enviornment and the indigenous. The people also got rid of the trailers because they want to have an easier life style. The past, in my opinion was simpler, but you had to work harder compared to the present. I don’t think the future will get better due to the lack of action given to this issue.
What I learned is that the language expresses how much they appreciate their culture and how it’s such a unique language. I think that they also show how much they appreciate the earth and find all nature as beautiful as it is. I also heard that the language has many Ks, ʷs, as, and es. The language seem to be broken down into chunks of words, and they use their throat a lot.
