Community and Friendship

I think Charger Trails was a great experience for everyone in the grade. It was a great way to incorporate education with fun activities. I think I was successful as a friend because I was able to connect with everyone in my advisory. It was a great way to get to know people even more than I already do. I was surprised with how successful our group was In all of the challenges. we really communicated well and listened to everyone’s ideas. I think I improved as a team member by really thinking outside of the box to get the activities done. I really enjoyed the  marble challenge because our group had very good ideas to get the marble in the cup despite the rules. I really enjoyed charger trails and hope to do it again soon.

My Favorite Seedfolks Character

My favorite character in seed folks is Sam, Virgil’s father. Sam is my favorite character because he has a passion for planting the cabbage, he almost cried when they wilted. I respect him for that and I think it makes him a good character. Also he is hopeful, when the plants started wilting he was sad but didn’t give up. He asked everyone In the taxi that he drives what to do. This is important because without hope, you can’t accomplish many things. Finally, I think Sam is smart. He was able to lie to an adult convincingly on the spot. These are my reasons for picking Sam as my favorite character.

Why I Would Like To Visit Japan

Tokyo

 

Japan is a beautiful place in my opinion, I think it would be wonderful to visit, and here are some reasons why. Firstly I think it would be great to visit Japan because of all the history of samurais and other historic Japanese warriors. Also, I think Japan has one of the most interesting cultures in the world, with the history of ancient warlords and the amount of honor people had for their leaders. Another reason to visit Japan is for all the cool buildings and scenery you couldn’t find in other places. Finally, I think japan is unique in its own way which would make it interesting to visit and experience something different than America. These are the reasons why I would love to visit the amazing country of Japan.
