Thanks to your pounds, I shop in the mall sir,
Anytime anywhere will join the call sir

Keeping you happy, is name of the game sir
Offshore “partners” are all same sir

From you I learned , f letter words sir

At five pounds an hour, I am cheap sir,

Free up the soul of, offshore slave sir

Cheers Sarah madam, how are you Mark sir
Can I make just one speech , in the Hyde park sir ?

I came across human rights, in twilight sir
All of them were, very very white sir


 During the past few weeks, our class looked at many current issues that's been occurring around the world, but we mainly focused on Malaysia. We looked at HIV and Aids, Buma Putra people, Street Kids, Undocumented people, etc, but we later chose one topic to focus on. The topic turned out to be Human Trafficking. Every year the Human Trafficking "industry" makes at least a billion dollars. A fact that shocked me was that anyone can be a victim of human trafficking. But those who are victims are usually ones who've been looking for a brighter future. Victims are trapped physiologically, more than physically. 
This fact amazed me because it must take a lot of physiological power to be able to 
trap someone and use them as slaves. 

Human Trafficking isn't something that only affect the victims. It affects the victim's family and friends, their owners, the traffickers and governments all over the world. I feel like the human trafficking topic is an important issue because this issue isn't a permanent thing. If we all try, it is possible to get rid of slavery in 25 years. It's important because we can actually make a difference by being aware, and doing the right things. 
Here, in the place I live in, Malaysia, there is a lot of the human trafficking business. Malaysia is a place where many people look as a destination because victims view Malaysia as a rich country in south east asia. If we all work together, we can work towards on preventing human trafficking in Malaysia. 

Learning about what human trafficking increased my understanding and knowledge on modern slavery. It made me think about all the things we could do for this project, and got me really enthusiastic about this unit. It made me feel lucky and appreciate the things I had. It also made me understand how a group of people ( old or young) can make a huge difference in the human trafficking world.

What's Worth Fighting For?

Imagine living a life where you are constantly checking the sky, and behind your back to make sure there’s no one there to hurt you or your loved ones.  Imagine living in terror, not knowing when a bomb might hit you or when you might be able to escape from all this. Ever since south sudan broke away from sudan, the Nuba people were left with a government who wanted to  get rid of them. Everyday, at least 3 Nuba people die, and dozens get injured severely.

For many years, the second sudanese war went on. Millions of people died, millions have had been displaced, and the rest became refugees. Finally, a referendum was held from January 9th to 15th, 2001. 98.83% of the population had voted for independence. On July 9th, South Sudan gained independence. A lot of people were happy, but not everyone. The government and the Nuba people were in this problem.
"We need humanitarian aid to be allowed into the Sudan before it becomes the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. We are here to ask for the government in Khartoum to stop randomly killing its own innocent men, women and children. Stop raping them and stop starving them.”- George Clooney
What is happening in sudan is, when south sudan broke away from sudan, the Nuba people were left with a government that didn't want them. Since there are no cameras allowed in the Nuba Mountains, there WAS no way to find out if gov. was telling the truth or not. Every SINGLE DAY, in the Nuba Mountains, people live in fear of aerial attacks. Children live in dangerous habitats, such as caves. Children are taken away to the army. 
Also, kids play with bombs that were thrown at them, but failed to explode. These bombs can go off any second. Kids living in caves get BLOWN UP whenever bombs land inside caves. There’s no way to hide. The Government’s been hiding this.  OMAR AL-BASHIR  and Al- Hussein
is behind most of this
. This isn’t WAR.... The Gov. are doing to wipe all the black people out of the area, and put the arabs in.

“Do you know who’s behind all this?”- George Clooney.
In reply ( a Nuban said) “ Yes! It’s Omar al- bashir. He want us to be gone. gone. He want us gone so Arab people live in land. They want the blacks all dead.”


The sudanese Government are doing this for a very simple reason. There was a specific part in in south sudan which had a very bad relationship with Nuba( dating back to hundreds of years). Since the government’s around that area, they got the advantage. There is no good reason for this. Bashir is simply committing war crimes.
“Stop raping them and stop starving them if you don't have a good reason too.”- George Clooney
People live in fear of aerial attacks. Children live in fear because at any moment, there can be a gov. soldier behind them. Either you get raped, or dragged into the army. But usually, both happen to the children.
This is the only reason Bashir has for his doings. All he wants to do is, kill all the black people in the Nuba mountains, and put the Arabs in(even though there's a lot of land around the area that is deserted).

Many people are trying their bests to spread the word about this. This whole project started when one night, a couple of celebs ( George Clooney and Brad Pitt, and Matt Damon) thought.’ How come you can Google Earth my house, when you can’t Google Earth places like North Korea, Chad...’.This lead to them teaming up with Harvard Uni. and the american gov. ( Barack Obama is REALLY involved) To set up satellites... in order to ‘spy’ on the sudanese gov. They found something TERRIBLE HAPPENING.
“Like many others, I’ve denounced President Bashar al-Assad of Syria for his murderous repression, but the more than 7,000 estimated by human rights groups to have been killed under Assad is within the margin of error of estimates of the numbers of people killed by President Omar Hassan al-Bashir of Sudan.”- Nick Kristof 
The Plan is to be able to ‘outnumber’ Omar, and make him go to ICC. In the meantime, people are trying to donate, bring Aid, medical care, housing, help people escape to other countries, bring food, clean water supply, hygiene.

In Conclusion, the Nuba people are in danger. We HAVE to spread the word, in order to out number Omar- Bashir, and get him to go to ICC. People are still dying for no reason, other than the fact that they black. Children are not being educated well for the government don't want them to be smart. Children as young as 2 have had legs, or arms blown off.
There is a way to stop this. Spread the word.

Chaeli Mycroft

Around the world, there are many people who are disabled. Michaela Mycroft(also known as Chaeli) was born with Cerebral Palsy, and was later diagnosed with degenerative neuropathy.Since she is limited in her ability to move her arms and legs, she has to stay in a wheelchair, but she won’t let that get in her way. Chaeli was one of the few who stood up to make a change on how many disabled people feel about themselves. Chaeli, was also concerned about disabled kids not being able to be independent. Since her family and friends supported her, and got her a mobile wheelchair, Chaeli wanted to do the same for people who aren’t so fortunate as her. Chaeli also knew a lot of children around the world were suffering both mentally and physically, and decided to take action. She organised an organization where people all over the world donate, or visit these suffering kids, and help them out as much as they can.

Chaeli was one of the few who stood up to make a change on how many disabled people feel about themselves. Kids with disabilities tend to go to self esteem issues. Chaeli has been in this situation, and knows what it feels like. Fortunately, she decided that she could do something to make a change for a lot of these children. She made people aware of how disabled kids felt, and made sure they were happy.
I hope that my actions as an ability activist will leave the world more accepting and more accommodating for all people and not just people with disabilities, because we are all different and we all have the need to be accepted regardless of having a disability or not.” (SA Career Focus) Chaeli wants to be able to lead a normal life. She doesn’t wants people to judge her because of her disabilities. She wants people to know that even if someone’s disabled, they are still people who have same needs and rights as normal people. This changed how disabled people felt about themselves in two different ways. Chaeli, and her volunteers made sure they could help as many kids possible, to get through everyday feeling happy, and not feeling left out. Also Chaeli made sure that normal people know how it feels like to be disabled, and they shouldn’t be discriminated, or not be able to do what normal people do.
Hope is what keeps us going,” Chaeli said in her speech. “It’s what keeps us striving for the lives we deserve. I have hope for myself, but I also have hope for all other children with disabilities” 
(SA Career Focus) In addition, Chaeli knows that having disabilities make people judge her in a negative way. For example, I, myself (and a lot of people I know), tend to judge disabled people. When I see disabled kids in a hospital, I kind of feel disgusted. I have a tendency to think that all disabled kids aren’t capable of thinking, and speaking out for themselves. This is why Chaeli strives to help herself and other disabled children so they can have a not unfair life, and makes sure she can make as many disabled kids possible happy, and get a lot of opportunities in life.





Chaeli is working hard to make sure disabled people are more independent. Since her family supported her a great deal, and got her a mobile wheelchair, Caelie wanted to do the same for people who aren’t so fortunate as her. Chaeli was born with Cerebral Palsy, through which the function of her arms and legs is limited. But where others see limitations, she sees possibilities; with her positive attitude, she is an inspiration to many.”
(SA Career Focus) Even though she was born with a disease called Cerebral Palsy, she decided that she should accept her disability, and not let anything get in her way of being able to do what everyone else does.
At the age of 9, Chaeli and her friends and sister started a project to raise money for an motorized wheelchair for Chaeli. In just seven weeks they raised more than enough money, so Chaeli decided to help more disabled children.”(SA Career Focus) She knew that many disabled people around the world aren’t getting the support, therapy, and medical care as she is. So, she makes sure that in her organization, donations and volunteers don’t just go to psychological therapy, but also to physical therapy. Kids do activities where they learn sports, get mobilized wheelchairs, and learn how to take care of themselves( washing, cooking... etc). This allows kids to be more independent, and not have a helper always helping them out.

In conclusion, Chaeli Mycroft has been trying her best to make sure that she and other disabled children get fair treatment and the same needs as normal people. The winner of the 2011 Children's Peace Prize did has been brave, and stood up to make a change for the lives of many disabled kids. Because of her, thousands of handicapped kids have hope, and are able to be positive about themselves.

Where I am From



                                                                           
                   

I am from the house
The shoes full of mud

I’m from basketball, and football (American)

And from heaven
I am from the many airplane flights and boat rides

I am from myself, YouTube, talking dolls,
The Giant Green Bouncy ball, and the rubber bullet guns.

I am from The Beatles, Michael Jackson, ACDC and Eric Clapton
I am from Ocean 11, 12, 13 (2001), NCIS
Mark Harmon, and George Clooney

I am from a country with all four season, but still lived in a place with only one
I am from the doctors, the cleaners, the Barbie makers, the actors, the singers, and my parents
My am from Mr. Muccino, and Mr. Peavy   (inspiring teachers)

I am from Superman to Batman
I am from Pizza, Five Guys Burgers  Meringue, potato chips, and Root Beer.
I am fromt DO YOUR HOMEWORK
To GO TO SLEEP
TO SHUT THE EFF UP
 Sadly, I’m from broken things, funerals, and autopsies

I’m from WHERE YOU GOIN
to EAT YOUR Dinner

I’m from the brainiacs and the jabbermouths
From the unseen forces, to the very very visible ones
But after all this,
no matter what I came from
I will always be own unique me.

'In Memory to My Mother' by Sonia Weitz

I think this poem means how Ms. Weitz longs for her very loving mother, and how the day was a very painful day in her life. Ms. Weitz's mother has been taken away from her at the Ghettos. Ms. Weitz treasured the last, and sad memory of her mother. Her mother had told Ms. Weitz to tell the world the truth about the Holocaust. Ms. Weitz promised her mother, but it troubled her because she couldn't find words to describe all the pain there has been, and all the love that kept people keep moving on in life. While reading these poems, many questions bombarded my mind. What did Ms. Weitz's mother give her before she got taken away. Are the things that happened during the Holocaust so horrible that you can even find words to describe what happened? Unfortunately, Ms. Weitz passed away in 2010, June 23. She succeeded in telling the world what happened, and the world lost a good friend.

Nazi Propaganda


This Propaganda poster is 'The Eternal Jews' and was made David Pinsk in the year 1937. This poster advertising a movie that tries to make Aryan Germans believe Jews are bad, and why they should get rid of them.

If you look at the poster, you can see a man with a very funny face expression. He has a very long, black beard and a gigantic nose. He's also has a communist sign tucked underneath his armpit. In his left ( our right), he has a whip, and in his other hand, he has golden coins. The background is yellow, while the man is in shades between black and white.

The golden coins represent that Jews have the money while the Germans are poor, and hungry. The communist sign that's tucked under his left armpit means that the Jewish person is worse because he's a communist, and Hitler hates the communists. The whip in his hand might mean that they are evil, and that they can hurt German people. Also, the Jewish man is black and white, which might mean that the man is dark, and cruel.

Overall, this poster tells German Aryans that Jews are the reason they are in a really bad position, and that they should get rid of them.

Was the Treaty of Versailles- fair or unfair? Justify.

There may be many opinions for this question, but I personally think that the Treaty of Versailles was really unfair. The 5 Victors ( the 5 nations that won the war ) didn't concentrate on preventing another World War, but they were concentrating more on punishing the Germans somehow. This part is really unfair. The fact that the Germans started the war isn't really a fact. I think it's just a point of view. Maybe the Germans were fighting with each other, when another nation got nosy, and decided to find out what the fight was about, and got offended, so jumped in the fight. If this is what happened, I blame all the nations the jumped in the fight. They kept jumping in and created a World War. It's true that war helps earn money because of all the weapons sold, but I think the countries all had their purpose of joining in the war. It's Everybody's fault. Nobody really pulled out of the war, but they kept joining in any fighting.
Overall, I blame ' Hate ' for starting the war, and it's not entirely Germany's fault, but also other countries' fault. Everyone should have all payed the money together because it's EVERYONE'S FAULT!

1. What piece of work and learning are you most proud? Explain.

My favorite piece of work is my latest Lit Circle. The Giver was the book we read in order to write the latest Lit Circle. The reason why I am most proud of this work is because it's the first time I've gotten an A for Lit Circles. I've set a goal to get an 'A' for Lit Circles since I only got B's. I tried reallly hard every time we had to do a Lit Circle. I'll look at the comments on my previous Lit Circle, and ask friends to read through my work. After all that work, I finally got an A. That's why the latest Lit Circle is my favorite work.

2. What were your greatest challenges? Explain.
I'm pretty sure that the greatest challenge this school year was to see my brother, Eric Park moving on. He graduated this year, and it was just too hard to imagining him graduating. I do most of the time fight with my brother, but with all the problems he had in school life, for example, getting bullied, and becoming half deaf, it seemed like a miracle. It was really hard to see my brother in that graduation hat. It just didn't look right.
.

3. Reflecting on your growth this year, what did you learn about yourself as a learner?
I learned that I could get good grades if I try hard, and some teachers give me a good grade even though my work is bad but knew that I tried really hard. I also learned that teachers don't like hurried work. I did it once and the result wasn't good.
4. To evaluate your work habits, choose 1 of the following from each category (and provide explanations):

a) Behavior

Could be improved-
Perfect - the model student

Explanation: I really participate really well in my classes. In math, I eagerly raise my hand to answer questions, but once I had a really bad headache that I couldn't talk much. I volunteer for nearly everything the teachers ask.

b) Participation-

None
Satisfactory
Actively participate in class-
Explanation: I really participate really well in my classes. In math, I eagerly raise my hand to answer questions, but once I had a really bad headache that I couldn't talk much. I volunteer for nearly everything the teachers ask.

c) Organization

Needs serious help
Satisfactory- I am okay at organizing, but I don't recommend opening my locker after PE. My locker's always organized, but some say it's really messy. I am also organized with my work, but sometimes, for humanity, I lost some hard copies of my work, and I got in trouble. I should work on that.

I'm super organized

d) Effort

Needs serious help
Satisfactory- I'm not that bad at effort because I always try my best at almost everything I do. But sometimes for projects like make a poster and things, I sometime go above and beyond by making my work unique.


I always go above and beyond what is required.


5. Based upon your reflections, write two personal learning goals for Grade 7 next year.

Goal 1 - In Grade 7, I plan to try and get grades above B- all the time. By setting this goal, I'm sure that I could lift my grades and soon my goal will be to get grades higher than A-.


Goal 2 - In Grade 7, I plan to try to make new friends and make new students welcome. I know that this is important because being new in a new school isn't easy, and getting new friends will make me and my new friends happy.


6. Is there any more information about yourself that you would like the teachers to know? I don't have any more information the teachers would like to know.


7. What was your favorite activity lesson in Humanities this year? What did you enjoy about it? I liked the Mafatu book TIC TAC TOE project because I got to meet a good friend, and I got to build a mini island using clay. We also got to make a movie commercial. Mrs. Reiser thought it was great.


8. What activity do you wish we could have spent more time on?
I'm not sure about that, because we had the right amount of time to finish each activity,

9. Finally, cast your minds back to the first few months of middle school (when you arrived in Grade 6 ) what "Words of Wisdom" or "Advice" could you pass on to the Class of 2018?
I have two things to say. Don't ever hurry your work because at the end, the result isn't pretty, and the last thing is that keep organized and always have a new pair of uniforms in your locker just in case there's a water balloon fight.
Enjoy,
Mr. Fischer
in collaboration with Mr. Thomas and Mrs. Narsiman

1. The title of this book is 'The Lion'.

2. This book is written by Nelson DeMille

3. This book made me think about terroists, Osama Bin Laden, and the twin towers incident.

4. This book is probably a college level book. There aren't any hard words, but there are swear words. That's the bad part.

5. The bad part is that it is quite disgusting. It's violent. When the "LION" beheads a pilot, it's very descriptive. If you are very sensitive to violent things, you shouldn't read this book.

URL: file:///var/folders/m6/m6lXvLsTH1873NYk0c04pk+++TI/-Tmp-/com


A little summary: This book is about a CIA cop who survived the twin towers incident. He was inside the twin towers. He also met this terroist, and the terroist ran away. Now, the terrroist is looking for the cop, trying to kill him.

Book: The Lion, by Nelson DeMille.

My iMovie Reflection



In humanities class, we made iMovies about a pharaoh in ancient egypt. My partner was Micah. We chose King Tut. King Tut is the youngest pharaoh in egypt. We chose him because he was young, his tomb wasn't robbed by tomb robbers and his death was a mystery. We also chose him because his parents were not known. He was found in the streets. He was a slave, but Nefertiti chose him be the next pharaoh at the age of 9. In this blog post, I will tell you if I followed the rubric.


I'm pretty sure that the information is correct, unless the recourses we used had wrong information. We included the time period our pharaoh ruled in. In my opinion, I think our information was clear about the contributions made by king tut. King Tut made no contributions to Egypt. Also, King Tut built no buildings, so we had to explain why. I have to admit, it was tough... So far, I think we followed the rubric well for the content.


I think we could have added more pictures, but the pictures for king tut were similar so it was very hard to find different pictures. I think we should get a good grade for thins because we tried hard and spent two classes looking for pictures, but couldn't find a lot. There were a lot of pictures of his tomb, but they were similar so there's no point putting in two pictures of the same thing. Our voices were clear, but we had a few weird background noises for some reason. Also, while we were recording, we stumbled on some words. So I think we should get a normal grade for that part. We used some effects. We made the pictures zoom in and things. We put some transitions for the pictures. So overall, I think we should get a 4 on this part.


Overall, I think I should get a good grade because we tried our best, and we included everything in the rubric, we all the information we can possibly get. At least we tried our very best. We did some research at home, and put it in google docs. My partner and I worked well together.

City Connection Reflection


In humanities class, we each had to make a PowerPoint of where we lived. I chose Seoul, Korea because I was born there and so did most of my ancestors. Also, Seoul is one of the top 10 cities in the world. GO SEOUL! I tried my best in this PowerPoint.

I think my PowerPoint was excellent. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but I think it looked awesome. I had lots of details in my information, I had good and rare picture of Seoul, I had a table of contents, etc... Among all those things, I think the information and table of contents were the best. I put as many information I can possibly put in the PowerPoint as I can, and chose a lot of cool facts that lots of people didn't know about Seoul. Most of all, I tried my best, and I think it's the best power point I ever did in my life.

On the other hand, I think I have to work on my presentation skills. I need to stop saying "like", and "and". I tried to change this habit for a long time but I get nervous and start saying the same words over and over again. Also, I think that the pictures and sentences flying in got messy. I could have less things flying in, or have none at all. I think I improved a lot in my presentation and PowerPoint making skills. I also tried to follow the things on the rubric to strike my best. I think I put all the things the rubric wanted us to put in. The rubric was a great help to me.

I learned a lot while listening to other people present. I think the most important thing I learned was that confidence was everything. The kids who were good at the presentation were all confident about their PowerPoint. The kids who did not so good as the confident kids were not so confident. The next important lesson I learned was to speak louder. I also learned that having little information is good too. Some people chose to explain the facts instead of reading the information straight from the PowerPoint. I thought it was a neat idea. I thought Dylan's idea was cool. I never thought about hiding pictures and giving prizes to the people who found them. This idea made the people concentrate on the powerpoint more.

I personally think I did good. The comments were better than last year's. I think really deserve a good grade. Even though I was sick for two days, I checked and practiced my presentation again and again. I also edited a lot of things that could be better along the way.

MY NEW YEAR'S RESOULTION

This year has gone too fast. Since its 2011 now, it's time for new resolutions. Every year, I set a new goal but I don't accomplish most of them. So this year, I going to try really hard to accomplish them. If I don't, shame on me. I have several resolutions this year.

First of all, I am going try to be less annoying to my brother. I have to get used to this because he would graduating and would be in America. So, it's very sad because I don't have anyone to annoy. Maybe I could annoy my dog. I'll think about it. Also, if I am less annoying, my brother might actually give me proper presents for christmas. Until now, I got nicely wrapped presents with nothing in it (I give my brother proper presents. Like Ipods,etc) As You can see, I am way nicer.

 Second, I am going to try learn more korean and mix with other Korean kids. Right now, it is very difficult because I don't understand their sentences well. It is quite shameful because I can't communicate well with people from my country. Who doesn't know their country's culture, or the language well? Who dosen't really like their country's national food, or clothing? I must be the only person in the world. You have no idea how it feels like. It's like if people ignore you in your own country. It's like getting surrounded by people speaking a language you don't understand at all.

These are my New Year's Resolution'


Something people might not know about me is that I am very very musical. I taught myself how to play instruments. I play songs on instruments by listening to music. My ear is my best friend. My mom says that it's in our family blood. But right now, I am the only one in my family who compose music without an instrument by my side. In other words, I could hear music in my head and just scribble it on some piece of paper. Sometimes I write it on my hand. I also hate reading music. It gives me headaches.
To tell you the truth, this isn't nice at all. When your listening to the teacher speak, my head and ear would gather sounds from around me and create a rhythm or beat. This only happens when the lesson gets boring. This doesn't happen in humanities. Don't worry. This was a secret. I had to let people know what I'm thinking when classes are boring.

Well this is it. I hope you enjoyed it.
It's your choice to believe my secret or not. I don't really care.  Thanks for reading.

Lit Circles with a partner.

I liked this "Lit Circles with a partner" thing because it helped me understand what I had to improve and I also got to help my partner. We got to work on our partner work skills and also improve our questions, passages, and connections buy reading my partner's questions and try to write something as good as my partner's work. This was the best part. We got learn how other people wrote things. I only one problem, I accidently erased my partner's connection, so he had to do it again. If i didn't work with a partner, I wouldn't have asked someone to do extra work.

Literature Discussions

In humanities this trimester, we had to read chapters of books and write a passage, question, connection and find a vocab word for each time we finish read. The discussions help us understand the book better and predict what will happen next.

The discussions help us understand the book better. For example, when I didn't get what happened to the characters in the story, the discussions help us because other people reading the same book explain what happened in the book during the discussions. Also, when we don't understand a part of a story, then I wouldn't enjoy the book much, and I think the Lit circles helped me a lot.

Literature circles help us predict what will happen next. When people are together, and share our thoughts about the book and share what we think was important, we could add all those facts together and come up with a prediction of what we think will happen next.

Because of these reasons, I think Literature Discussions are good and they help me with my learning, thinking and helps me improve my discussing skills.

I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS

I was taking a nap when I heard a SQUISH! It sounded like my grandma's fart, but it was twice the loudness. Also, my grandma went out to get some food. Our house is built under a new mangrove tree now. Before we moved, we lived under a old old mangrove tree. It always gave me an eerie feeling.
We got our new home when giants came and planted mangrove trees.

Squish Squash. "I will now show you how to plant a mangrove tree" said the guide giant. He dug a hole and planted a tree. I ran to tell my mom that a very nice giant planted a nice house for us. My mom told me to pack up my things so we could move straight away. When I reached my room, I heard squishes and saw a boot deep down in the mud sinking fast. I screamed. I grabbed my stuff and ran out the exit. My mom was waiting for me there. We saw giants sinking, planting trees, getting muddy and killing crabs by sitting on them accidently. My family stuck together. After hours, we reached our new house by the last giant went squishing out. The house is cleaner, bigger, and even close to the pool and also close to high land. Thank you nice giants!! Thank you for your kindness and thanks for killing our enemies, the crabs.

ROSEE GOES TO THE RESCUE

     I was four at that time. I was in a preschool in korea called 'kids' College'. I was the smallest kid and also the weakest kid of the whole preschool. My best friend was taller than me but he was very weak too. Unfortunately, lunch time was the most scariest time in preschool  for me and my friend. I got out my lunch   box. My friend hates what his mom packs him so we always share my food. 

     Suddenly, my friend said he had to go to the bathroom. He said he should be back in a second but he didn't come back. There was a strong feeling pulling me. I had to go look for him. I ran around the building but there was no sign of him. I looked outside the window. There he was. He was surrounded by Edward, Ben, and Richard. They were the scariest, biggest and strongest kids in preschool. This meant something bad was going to happen. 

     I ran down the stairs and struggled with the door. After a while, I finally got out. When I put both feet on the grass, my legs were like jelly. No kid ever tried to stop the bullies. So, I was trying to go back but my legs won't obey me. They were too busy wobbling. I decided to step forward. It worked. I guessed that I wasn't allowed to go back so I slowly walked towards the gang. I heard my friend cry. I was scared. But I couldn't let my friend get bullied so I poked Richard and waved. I went closer to my best friend and told him to get a teacher while I try to distract them with my new necklace. Without any complaint, my best friend ran. If he kept running with that speed, it would have taken about five minutes for the teacher to come save my dear life. Unfortunately, he slowed down on the steps. So it was like ten minutes until the teacher came. 

     Also, the bullies didn't get distracted by my necklace so I got a punch in the head. I got a big bump with blue and purple surrounding it. 

     By the way, I kind of forgot my best friend's name but it started with a 'P'.

How did early humans use art to express their prehistoric culture?

   People in the olden days didn't know how to speak so they expressed their feeling through art. Also, some scientists believe that it was part of worshipping gods. Here are three types of discoveries made.

    The first one was a picture of some art and carving tools people used to draw and express themselves. They might have used berries and fruits mixed with animal fat to draw. The white rock kind of bone is kind of round on the tip so it can be used to make fine lines. There was also a rock where it was used to make sculptures.



     Finally, a cool example sculpters of bulls. They are most likely to be made in a cave. It is also shown that kids roamed around it. The Bulls was probably a gift to the gods in a ceremony. The ancient people probably used one of the carving tools in the picture.

      As you can see, the way ancient hominid people expressed their feelings are unique. I never knew that art would have been very handy in the olden days.

Among the three choices, Arceologer, Geographer , and historian is to be an arceologer.

The reasons are:
1. So I could dig, explore and have new and fun adventures!
2. So I could travel around the world in search of ancient objects!
3. To learn about other cultures.

99.99% ABOUT ME!!!

Hi, my name is Rosee Park(So Young). Did you know that this is my 7th year at ISKL? I was born on February eighth, 1999 at 2:17 in the morning. I was bright pink in a diaper which took up at least three fifths of me! I went to an American international preschool in Korea. Then, I moved to KID'S COLLEGE because the teachers in the old preschool scared me. Later, I move to Canada when I was about 3 or 4. I lived there for a short while then moved back to Korea for about 1 or2 years. Then i came right here to this wonderful place! MALAYSIA!

   I have a very annoying brother in 12th grade. His name is Eric. I believe that i am smarter than him. I want to be older than Eric but unfortunately Eric is 7 years older than me.
    I really like the Beatles alot. Especially Paul McCartney. Infact, I have all of the Beatles albums. I also like Micheal Jackson.

I am very talkative but I try not to do that just for a good grade.

SO far...... I like all my teachers. Especially Mrs. Reiser. She is the BEST!!!!
I am serious. Best subject so far is humanity. It is because humanity challenges me and makes me do my best.

I LOVE MIDDLE SCHOOL!!!
