Community & Friendship

Community & Friendship

Today we did Charger Trails. It is composed of three challenges, all completely different except for the basis of the activities, teamwork. They all required teamwork to be completed. We usually started by thinking of a good strategy for success. Usually someone said a strategy and then others who thought it was a good idea would edit it and make it better, covering the loopholes for failure. Our group (the Stewart Stereos) did exceptionally good on each challenge, thanks to our good teamwork and open minds. Oh, another thing that was similar in all the activities was that they were silent, making them more hard but team building.

I was a good team member and friend during the challenges, because like others I encouraged people and helped them out. When someone in our group messed up or made a wrong step (*cough*team member #7*cough*) me and the team members would help them more the next time, resulting in everyone success. I was a good friend because instead of yelling at people I kindly suggested that they change their strategies or listen to others ideas.

My favorite Seedfolks Character

         My favorite character is Sam because he is always nice to everybody and makes them smile. He tries to bring be together to make a more united community. He thinks before he acts or does, like the time when he said the garden was like paradise. He then said that paradise meant walled park. He cares about other people and cares about the city. He wants to make everyone friendly with each other. He thought the garden would do that, but it is not so he thinks he might have to step in.

Venice

I would like to visit Venice in Italy. I want to visit Venice because I have gone there before and I liked the architecture and the way many rivers run through most of the city, making it very interesting and distinct.
