MIDTERMMMM.

I forgot to hand in my paper, but here's my midterm review:

Within the past half of the semester, I have tried to participate in as many things as I could.
I enjoyed being on the stair climb committee, as well as going to gr. 9 home rooms in the mornings. I also enjoyed the media violence confrence and beginning to work on Speak Up ideas for our in-school confrence!
I've become a role model for other students, but my work is only just beginning. I don't feel I have done enough this half of the semester, but I will do my best during the rest of the year.
My percentage : 85%.

#20 - challenge week

For Challenge Week, I think we need to go to all classrooms and have discussions about bullying. It needs to be more than just our gr. 9 homerooms. Yeah, they matter, but what about the rest of the school?

#19- stair climb

Stair Climb was fantastic! This was my first year going, and I really enjoyed it. For next year, I think that it needs to be announced more directly throughout the schools, whether it be leadership students going to all classes or pledge forms being handed out to every student in their home room. From the United Way perspective, I think it was well run, and I don't think there is anything I would change about it.

#18 - teen suicide

Teen suicide is a very sticky topic. I feel that the awareness of this subject is not known well enough in schools, and I also feel that the schools make absolutely no effort to stop teen suicide. I don't think that schools themselves could ever completely stop it, but by raising awareness of suicide and depression, I think that numerous lives could be saved.
