Trent's+reflection

1. ** How were you feeling prior to this experience? ** I was feeling a bit nervous because I was doing things that I would not really do out side of school. Before camp I was feeling a bit nervous because I have not been on a camp with the whole campus. On this camp I was a bit unconfutable because I didn't get a lot of my friends in my class this year so I did really have a lot of friends to talk to. But at lest the hole campus when so I could still be around them at breakfast. lunch, dinner and night when the campus had the camp intro I was getting excited about the giant sewing and the high rope but when we got there I felt like I was about to turn insides out. But that just me, I get over confident and when the time comes I try to run away from it. Like when I went to dream world for three weeks before we went to Queensland I was so excited about going on the giant drop but when we got there and saw it I felt so small!

2**. What were you nervous about? What were you excited about?**
 * I ** was feeling nervous about the giant swing and the high rope. I was fine on the high rope because I love highs its just when I free fall from them when I start to freak out. Although at the start I was a bit uneasy but that’s with every ride I go on and when I get off it I want to do it again and again. Almost every one thinks that I hate heights now just because I didn't go to the top of the giant swing but the truth is that I really enjoy heights it’s just when I am falling from them like bungee jumping or sky diving. This is because I really really hate that feeling in your stoic where you feel like your insides are going to fall out your mouth.

3. **What do you think St Mary's is trying to achieve by taking you on this experience?** On this experience I think tthat st. Marys is tring to make us step out of our confit zoen because I think that there were thing there that people would never of thought of doing because some people ether hate hights or don't like the water and both of those things were there.

4. **Do you think these experiences achieved these things? Why/ why not?** Yes because before I went on the giant swing I was nerous but when I had come off I wanted to go agen.

5. **What was your favourite activity? Why?** My favourite activity was the canoeing because it was funny to see people trying to stand on the canoe but always falling off. plus the water was nice . 6. **what was your least favourite? Why?** My least favourite activity was snorkling because it was cold and you could hardly see anythink because the marsk keept on hogging up.

7. **Do you think this experience will help your time at St Mary's? Explain.** Yes because it makes you more confident about yourself. Because before I went on this camp I was good with heights but not confinable falling from them. But now I am more confinable with myself and fill like I could do it again.

8. **Discuss something you learnt about yourself while on this experience.** One thing that I have learnt is that if I am to nerves to do something all I need is a little encouragement and I will want to do it over and over again.

** 9. Discuss something you learnt about someone else while on this experience. **

** 10. How do you think you contributed to this experience? **

** 11. What do you think could be improved for next year’s portsea experience? **

** ﻿Week 1 ** ** What is the best piece of advice you have ever received? ** The best piece of advice I have ever received would be take advantage of every opportunity in life. Because if you don’t take any opportunities then you will be sitting at home doing nothing all day and never have an exciting life, career or future

** ﻿ **

** Week 2 ** ** What would happen if you threw a piece of trash on the ground? What if everyone did? **  If I threw a piece of trash on the ground all different thinks could happen frome an animal eating it to it washing up on the beach. But if we all threw trash onto the ground much, much more worse things could happen like Increasing our pollution and air pollution, birds and other wild animals could eat it and die. Some plastic bags could fly into the ocean the animals like turtles, whales, sharks and all kinds of different fish.

** ﻿Week 3 ** ** What would you do if you saw a friend cheating - report it, confront the friend or nothing - and why? ** ** What do you think courage means? ** ** What do you think makes a good friend? **

** ﻿Week 4 ** ** What is your most indispensable possession and why? **

** Week 5 ** ** What do you think about people polluting the environment? ** When I see a person polluting the environment I get a bit upset because when people throws paper on the grown they think that it doesn’t matter because it is just one thing being thrown on the ground. But they don’t think that they are not just the only person polluting and then in about ten years time we might have a rivers and oceans full of rubbish instead of water and may be acid rain place much more species would be dead because of the rubbish on the ground, in the sea and in the air.

** Week 6 ** ** How do you feel when you do something wrong? ** ** How do you feel when you do something that is very good? ** When I do something wrong I get a really bad gilt feely in my stoic and feel like I have let myself down. I get this feeling when if I get a bad score on test or an assignment. Sometimes I just want to run out side and scream lungs out because I know I could have done better but I was too lazy to put in that extra effort. I get this feeling that if I had the chance to do it again I could to so much better. When I do something very good I get this feeling that is indescribable I feel on top to the world. I just want to go home a shove it in my parents face to show them how good I did **__(not in the bad way).__**

** ﻿Week 7 ** ** I wish there was a law that said... This would be a good law because... ** I wish there was a law that said to make world peace. This would be a good law because it is what people have wanted for years. Without wars and battles we will not loss lives and destroy counties and families My opinion is that why all the world leaders can just come together, discuses the problem and find a solution then we can all just get along and agree with each other. It’s like the old most simplest saying “Violence does not solve anything”.

** ﻿Week 8 ** ** When you are angry, how do you look? When are you happiest? When have you felt lonely? When do you feel proud? ** When i am angry I look like I'm so fustridted and I just want to punch someone in the in the face and screm at the top of my voice and just run away from home because I can't stand to that persons face (if it was a person). I am happiest when I have done a grate job on someone I feel like on top of the world and feel like I can do any thing. I also feel happiest when I came around my friends and family and we are all having a grate time together. When I feel lonely I feel like just sitting in the corner and not saying a thing. I feel like I am the odd one out and I feel like I am not wanted and feel like running away. When I feel proud I feel completley differend when I am lonely

** ﻿Week 9 ** ** Which quality do you dislike most about yourself - laziness, selfishness, childishness - and why? **

** ﻿Week 10 ** ** Why do you think prejudice exists in the world? **

** ﻿Community Links: ** Before for I when on community links i was starting to get nervous because I did not know what I was doing or how the other people were going to react. When I stepped into the stuff room they seemed like nice people. So after we had the stuff meeting we had to go out and meet the clients and then that’s when I got really nervous. I was feeling a bit Unconfutable because I have never been around these kinds of people before but they were all very friendly people. On the second day we were cooking lunch for the clients. We made Pumpkin and Vegetables soup then after lunch we had to help clean up, so that gave us some think to do. After we finished clean all had to do is just waited till it was 3:00 o'clock. To pars the time I got to learn some signs language. On Wednesday we got to learn a song in sign language and I got to learn a fear lot of sines then. And then in the afternoon they Brought in a two dogs. On Thursday and Friday we got to shred paper and the clients seem to really love it. From the paper that they shred the place gets $500 for every half a ton. On the next Tuesday we went to this place to do art for the day. On Wednesday we went to a sports university we did some running and some basketball and wall ball. On Thursday we went to Footscray to do hip hop. I was feeling a bit unconfutable because I’m not the dancing type of person and when we got there I was forced on the dance floor. I tried to pull back but I couldn’t. I felt like I was the odd one out like going to a wedding in overalls. After a long three hours we started to head back and when we did it was 3:00 o’clock. On our last day we went to the shredding shed for the day although we didn’t really do much shredding. We were helping the instructors with a DVD that she was making. At 3:00 o’clock it was time to go as I was walking out the door I took one last time to see where I spent the last two weeks and where I got the most inspiriting time of my life that really opened my eyes.
