Community and Friendship

In chargertrails I  was successful as a team member because I helped my teammates by pointing out the route we already knew in the maze. I was successful as a friend because I communicated with my friends to help them with the hog call when they were unsure what to do. When participating in the marble challenge I shared some ideas with my teammates and we tried some of them. I think the marble challenge was the hardest for my team because people had a lot of different ideas. I was successful as a teammate when one of the ideas I came up with was put to the test. I was successful as a team member and as a friend in chargertrails because my teammates listened to my ideas and helped make them work.

A Snip of my Culture-Verse

First day of Elementary school- Social Structure:

My first day of elementary school was related to social structure because it was the day I started building my social structure. I made friends that would always be there for me and teachers that would teach me things I would use my entire life. On the first day of elementary school I made friends that would be by my side throughout grade school, and some that I would hopefully have forever. My first day of elementary school was an amazing experience that I will never forget. It was so exciting to make new friends and beginning my social structure.

Seedfolks Favorite Charactor

 

Leona is my favorite character because she works for what she believes in. Leona is happy with her life, and likes to help improve other peoples life. She is bold because she takes risks by not only going to the health department she takes a bag full of trash there too. Leona speaks her mind and she doesn’t stop till she proves her point. I can relate to Leona because when she wants to accomplish something, she does. I want to be able to speak my mind and find peaceful ways to prove my point.
