Our time spent in middle school was amusing and it was unquestionably worth the long run but now the end has arrived. We must collect our belongings and progress on to high school. These past three years of our life was guidance and preparation. It will all show in high school. Some of us don’t want to shift to high school however it is inevitable. We have had excellent times and dreadful times here in middle school. But altogether it was a thrilling ride. Thanks to all our teachers who have supported and encouraged us till the end, we are over and done with ms and are graduating tomorrow. 

Is courage something you have to be born with or can you develop it?

Is courage something you have to be born with or can you develop it?

 Courage isn't something you are born with, or without. It is something you have to develop. Courage doesn't mean the missing of fear. You can develop courage by learning and practicing the actions that you want to be able to do during an emergency. Having a few small actions to show/do gives you something to concentrate on instead a threat, or your own fear. If there are specific actions you can concentrate on, think about them, then do them.

Field Trip to the School of Blind

Last Friday we went to a field trip to Pattaya. We were divided in to three groups, school for blind (which i went to) where you have to play with the blind children, day care center where you take care of little kids, and farm work where you paint playground equipment and do some farm work. So before i went to the school for the blind i was kind of scared of blind people, i felt uncomfortable near them because my dad's cousin was blind. When i reached there i was confused. The kids there looked like they knew exactly where they were going. they did not have the stick that the homeless blind people on the road use. The only this was that they had to feel every thing that they touch. After we played a small game with them in the room we had to help a kid go down the stairs. I found this small kid and helped him down the stairs. Then when we reached the ground floor the little boy just ran away from me. I was scared because i did not know where this little boy was going.  I watched him go. He went all the way across the hall way and ran into the toilet. That was quite scary. Then this kid with i think polio walked pass us using a walker. Then i felt so thankful that i actually have eyes to see and a fit body to do physical actives. Then we all went to the sports room. We played a game where there are two teams of 3 all trying to block the ball from going in. At first it sounded unfair because we can see and they cannot. But then the referee handed the people who can see, a blindfold. Now it was unfair but i was excited to watch. The blind kids were so good. They were using the sound of the rolling ball. But since we did not know that we looked like fools trying to block the air. After that we went back to the bus and went to the restaurant. They had some really good seafood. Then we went back to the bus and had a long drive back to school. After this trip am no longer scared of blind people. I no longer think they are scary. In conclusion this advisement trip has helped me over one of my biggest fear of blind people making it fun and interesting.

Outdoor/Indoor activites

Hey guys. My name is Nitin and i am 13 years old. I am born on may 19. Well, as you can see by the title i am going to talk about my favorite outdoor and indoor activities. So, first i need to ask you something. I would like to know weather u call this game football or soccer. Well my favorite team in soccer is Manchester United. They are amazing!! Did you know that a Thai brand actually sponsor's Manchester United. So as you can see i am a huge fan of Man Utd. I supported them since i was like 5.  I am not so good at soccer, but i enjoy playing it. The one sport or activity that i really enjoy doing and am good at is running long distances. I like the way the cool 's fresh air just comes and hits your face. I enjoy running as a sport not as exercise. That's about it for outdoor activities. to start i would like to say... I LOVE VIDEO GAMES!!! I love to play games on my Wii. My favorite is COD MW 3 (Call of Duty--Modern Warfare 3) Even though i completely suck at it i enjoy playing it. Well this is me. I spend most of my time outdoors. What about you?

FLOOD CAOS

The day the school sent my parents a message saying that school is closed till 31^st I was really shocked because where ever I looked there was no water.  I was really happy too. Just then something struck me I remembered that we were living right next to a canal called klong tan.  I was wondering weather the water level would rise, but I really doubted that it would overflow.  I was really happy that school was closed.I thought that there would be no homework. I lay down on my sofa and I turned on the TV to watch WWE or a movie. When the TV turned on it was on a Thai news channel. They were talking about the major klongs that will be affected. In my mind i was hoping they wouldn't say klong tan, right then they said that Klong Tan will be flooded and the water levels are starting to rise. I was really scared. I told my parents this and that took immediate action. They started to store buckets of water. We went to many supermarkets but we did not get much food. At this stage we were all panicking. I wanted to watch TV but this time the TV was on CNN and they were talking about an earthquake in turkey. I didn't bother to take seriously.One fine night my dad came home and said “ I will be leaving to turkey in 3 days.”  I was speech less. It all seemed like it was all planed. I turn on the TV and hear that that floods will come to where we stay, then an earthquake in Turkey which my parents did not know about.That Sunday in church we were all talking about the floods. The lead pastor said “ we are setting up a flood donation box so if you want to give money to help flood victims then please donate some money. My parents donated money and we were happy about it. Later that Sunday we went to Food-land to buy some canned food. The whole shelf was empty there was almost nothing there. We then ran to the mall and bought a few canned food. When we looked at the news again that day we saw that the floods will come in 2 days. My dad was in a panic because he would not be here if the floods do come. So he rushed us to the airport (with no ticket) and did a last minute booking  and we got a flight to India the same day as me dad. In India we had no internet, but we did have 2 TV's. We came back 4 days before school reopened. When we were coming back home we could see that all most all the shops had cement walls or sandbags in front of the shop or bank(even 7-11). But there was no sigh of water near our house. We did see that the near the canal it was flooding. when you before i entered my soi i saw that many people left to another place. This was how the floods affected me.

Identity

Today i am going to talk about the colors purple and yellow and how that influences my indentity. My most favorite color is purple.Purple is royalty. A mysterious color, purple is associated with both nobility and spirituality. The opposites of purple in the color wheel is yellow. Yellow and purple are a good combinition for shoes, flowers and even cars! scince i was a kid i started to watch barney. He was purple and he had a friend who was yellow in color and those two lookedvery good togerthe. So scince i was a kid i liked the color purple. But i didnt know yet that yello and purple were opposites in the color wheel.
