1/2 and 3/4 post here:
This is worth 10 Language Arts points and is due by Monday 2/28- when we return to school.
Topic:
Today we had an assembly from the organization, rachel's challenge. You can click on the link here!
Rachel, the first victim at Columbine left a legacy of 5 goals to make a difference and start a chain reaction.
1. Do not pre judge people, look for the best in others
2. Dare to dream
3. Be Kind
4. Look for Positive Influences
5. start a chain reaction
For your post- pick ONE of the Five goals you will work on starting TODAY- explain how you will do this and how you will make a difference.
I would pick all of the goals, but i have to only choose ONE so i choose teh first goal which is "Don't pre judge people,look for the best in others" because to be honest I always judge people by just looking at them or how they dress. Like a preppy girl i would say "oh she's mean and a brat" or some unpopular kid i would say " oh he or she seems nice, but their at the bottom" So from now on i will always talk to the person first and get ot know them before opening my big mouth and saying stuff that isn't true. This will make a difference not only because i will make new friends and get to more people, but its also going to make me a better person inside and out because i won't be talking bad about other before actually knowing them. I will also see the best in others instead of just the negative(:

I think that I could be more kind to people and try to help out people that are dont make alout of friends and they look like they would like someone to be with. I think I could try to make friends not try to make enemy. Also I could do more positve things that people well like.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to work on the first goal because I have a bit of an issue of prejudging people.I'll do this by actually talking to people before I label them as someone I like/dislike.

I would just like to say that assembly was awsome. I will DARE TO DREAM for my goal. I don't how I am to reach this goal yet, but I have an good idea. I will try to more out going and make more goal that are more exciting. After the assembly I thought alot about the dare to dream goal.
ReplyDeleteI will Dare to Dream. Whenever I had a dream I always pushed it aside saying, 'that won't ever happen' or 'thats not important.' Now, I will follow my dreams and see where they take me! Who knows, someone else may have the same dream as me! People who dream big make a big difference on the world, and I would love to do that to! Maybe I will invent something or create something that may change how other's see the world.

The goal that i have picked is #1: Do not prejudge people, look for the best in others. I chose this one because after the assembly i realized that i tend to judge people before i even get to know them first. I will achieve this goal by not making any assumptions about people before i get to know them. Also, instead of looking for negative things in a person i will start paying attention to the positive traits of that person. I will make a difference by getting to know different people this year and not start by judging them on first impressions.-Wendy F.
ReplyDeleteI will be picking number 3 be kind. this is what i will be chosing because i can get mean sometimes and i relize that that hurts people and being cind can save a life; like how rachel did save that boys live just by showing cindness

I am so proud that so many of you are thinking about this even during your break. I, too, thought it was a powerful assembly and I am going to do my best to work on goal #1 to eliminate prejudice as well. See you all Monday
ReplyDeleteI will work on goal number one. I will label or judge someone after at least three meetings. I will talk to the person and try to get along. I won't just judge them by their outfit or their likes and dislikes but all the positive thing about them. After the assembly I really thought about what it all meant to me and then I learned what Rachel's Challenge really affected me...
ReplyDeleteFor me I would start a chain reaction. I chose this one because I need to start looking for the good in people. I usually just talk to the people that I know but I think that if I put my self out there then i would be that person to start the chain reaction.
ReplyDeleteTo make a difference, I will try not to pre judge people. I will do this, by welcoming new students at our school. I will also introduce them to my friends, and show them the way around school if they need help. That is how I will make a difference.

ReplyDeleteI plan to work on goal #2, dare to dream becasue I have wanted to be a lot of things and some of them I say no that won't happen or I could never do that. But now I will say how can I get started with that today?
ReplyDeleteThe goal i would pick would be the 3rd one, be kind. It is the simplest yet the most important. Being kind to everyone would also start a chain reaction, like what happened in the movie pay it forward. Plus just being kind is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself and for others.
ReplyDeleteI am going to pick the first one to start on today. to be honest, I have prejudged people and probably missed out on a great friendship. Prejudice is a very bad thing that a lot of people do everyday. If we all do our part to get rid of prejudice, then we will all be "created equal".

First off I miss you Mrs.Nadell. Second I feel That I got a lot from the assembly and it was very eye openning to me.My friends are just like any other teenager, we juge people by there looks, Its not that we try to mean, Its just something that comes natrual to girls. I want to try to stop my self from pre judging people because it doesnt mean there a bad person. I feel like this is something I really want to try to not do and I hope by me doing this my friends will notice that it's not right,Hey i just might start a chian reaction.:)

PS.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful break.:)
I miss you too Maddie Kelly! Thanks for the sweet and thoughtful blogs everyone!
ReplyDeleteI am going to start a chain reaction. I will do this by trying to get to know more people instead of people that I know. I will also be more open and not so prejudice towards new kids or something.
ReplyDeleteI think i am going to start not judging people to make a difference. I sometimes have judged people based on how they look and talk, but then they turn out to be much cooler and better than I thought they were. We should all learn not to have prejudice and not to judge people from how we first see them. That is how we can make a difference.
ReplyDeletei will pick the second one. Daring to dream is something that could help accomplish all our goals. But i will accomplish this by not giving up so easily when something doesn't go right, or doesn't happen exactly the way it was supposed to. Trying hard and working hard will be the major ways i will accomplish this.
ReplyDeleteit will make a difference because i have so many activity's outside of school (rock wall climbing, skateboarding, violin, modeling) that i do, and i want ot add to that list, if i had thought that i couldn't get to the top of the wall in Seattle last summer i never would've managed it if i didn't trust in myself, and believe that i could do it.
wow, my writing has sounded very...not fluent...
sorry,
hope your breaks are going well, miss u all! (especially Mrs. Nadell), cant wait to see you all again soon...(if the Island's snow melts, if not i may not be at school till Tuesday...)

I would be choosing number one because I want to get to know a person instead of judging them about hearing what other people say about that one person. It's their opinion... So why agree with it when I have nothing to back up my opinion why I don't like that one person. I would rather get to know that person instead of being judgemental...

Ps. I miss you Mrs. Nadell! Hope you are having a wonderful break.(:
I can't just choose just one. This assembly made me think about my friends and how ether I have been rude to them or just ignored them, It made me think about how many people I have turned my back to because they were not my "type" or friend or if they smelled bad or something dumb like that. I have to stop myself from thinking that way. I feel like this Assembly was a strong impact on my life. The other day I was asked the question, 'if you had a time machine and could go back to any time of your life what would the date be?' I answered April 24 1997(my birthday) to start over and fix all the times that I had judged a person before I really go to know them.
ReplyDeleteLove Bronte(:
Throughout break, and for the rest of my life, I'm going to try to work on the first goal; not to pre judge people. At the assembly, I really thought back and tried to think of all the times I had pre judged someone just because of their outer appearance. I'm going t try to look beyond appearance and get to know people for who they really are.
ReplyDeleteI would start a chain reaction because one night i was with my grandma and my cousins and we pulled into jack in the box and the guy at the registar said the car 2 cars ahead of you paid for your meal. All of us where surprised that they would do that and why. I would do what the car 2 cars ahead of us did and pay for someones meal because they would probably think that was nice and do it for another person and it would keep going.
ReplyDeletei am going to start with number one. i tend to judge people alot before i meet them. i will try to not judge people and i will keep an open mind to everyone i meet.
ReplyDeletei will work on goal number three. I will improve this by not saying anything if i have nothing nice to say.include people that arnt a part of something and talk to people the way i want to be talked to.
ReplyDeleteThe goals I want to start working on are 1 and 3. For the first one, I will try to treat any new kids nicely and try to make friends with them. Also any new person I meet will be treated with the utmost respect. For the third goal, I will be kind to others by respecting them and letting them share their ideas and thinking. I will also help them with schoolwork or anything else.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try not to pre judge people. When I meet someone new I'm not going to judge them based off of what clothes they're wearing or who they were talking to. I'm going to make sure that I actually know someone before I have an opinion about them. This will make a difference becausee many people are misjudged and it's crude. Just because it's human nature, that doesn't make it an excuse.

I'm choosing the first goal "Do not pre judge people, look for the best in others" wrote Racheal herself. I have a tenase to judge people on what they look like and what they do like most people. I will achive this goal by looking for the best in peole and making no commets unless it's a positive one. I will make a difference for myself and others by being the better person i should be.
ReplyDeletehow you will do this and how you will make a difference.
I am going to work on the second goal, Dare to Dream. I always say that won't happen to me or i can't do that, but I'm going to work on actually letting myself dream. If you don't dream you can never work on trying to make the "impossible" possible.
ReplyDeleteTessa Ruopp
I'm not a prejudice person. period. I really like to get to know people before I make my final decisions about them. i'm a people person. so I guess i'd say that i'm going to start with number five. start a chain reaction. I think Rachels had a good idea and i'd like to help her spread kindness throughout the world.
ReplyDeletei would start a chain reaction of anything the might be good in school or any other places, i will teach them about that subject and help other kids start to join and be kind and respectful to anything or anybody
ReplyDeleteDARE TO DREAM. I will do this by really going for things. I want to make an impact with people so i want to really go for the gold and help.
ReplyDelete$$$Mikey D out all yall peace$$$
Kelly Says;
ReplyDeleteBe Kind. Be Kind. Be Kind. Be Kind. Be Kind.
I can NOT say that enough because in today's society everywhere I go school, the mall, parties, people are always being rude, saying unnecessary comments that are hurtful. What is the point? Just to make it seem like your the bigger person. And this not only outputting to girls but BOYS too. I feel like the reason girls are the way the are in middle school is because of the boys. We get some much criticism & judgment from them, and we have to seem like we are good enough for them. And then it is a competition, and girls are catty. And we are no longer being nice, no longer being a kind person. So I am trying to make my way out to people and do little things to make them smile or realize that there is still a good person out there. I will BE KIND.
XOXO, KELLY LE.
my main goal I will try to improve on is to be kinder to every one, also to not prejudge other people just because they look different of acts different that's how I will make a chain reaction. ~Ellis Fischer
ReplyDeleteI am going to start to not pre judge people because some how Ive gotten into a horrible habit of doing that. Now I vow to stop!
ReplyDeleteWell i'm picking two to do, i'm going to be much more kind and to look for positive influence. I feel that what my action do with result back to me sooner or later, such as what comes around goes around. I also picked to looked for positive influences because that shall lead me to a positive future. I want a good future, can't really say who doesn't but that's all i can say.
ReplyDeleteI would pick do not prejudge people. If i was to not prejudge people then i would end up beiing nicer to people and mabe start a chain reaction.
ReplyDeletei will work on number one which is to not prejudge people. everyone deserves fair chances to be seen in the best way they can. I will improve this by understanding the person at least 3 times before saying he is mean or bad or a good nice person. treating a person with respect will help others treat them with respect and help them make new friends.-jordan carlson
