Reflection of the week!


As we go rounding off this hero unit, I would like you to read the following quotation and write a good comment.
Think before you write!



"It's easy to be a hero. Just help someone over a rough spot"

Miss ale,

I think that what it means is that we don´t have to be a very important person or that it doesn´t matter to be very famous to be a hero but that being a hero means helping the others when they need and always be good with them, no matter if nobody sees you.

I think this quotation means that not only heroes can help people. We also that we are not heroes we can help someone by helping them with homework if he does not understand something, if somebody is bullying someone you can help him. In Learning Center we are looking for people that are fighting and help them and solve there problem for it not to happen and there we are helping someone, and we are not famous. It is good to help people you are being a good person and you are not always fighting and always in a bad mood. I think the proyect on the heroes is connected with this quote for us to see what those heroes did to become well known and do something good in humanity. The people that in the test chose success: a question of chance? in the test could have wrote what this quote means. The conclusion of this quote is that we have to try to help all the people who need help.
Wish us luck for tomorrow we have the first part of the test on Maths.
See you tomorrow,

I really liked this unit because we were able to write about someone important and get to know them better. May be once we heard about them but we didn't really know much about them. Doing this project we were able to get to know them a lot and very interesting things that happened to them that in your mind you wouldn't have imagined something like that could happen to them. The only things and the last thing we have to do with this project is give the presentation to all the class, tell them who we have been working on, explain his/her life and hope they liked it. We have been working a lot with this project. I also liked when we had to write about our personal hero because I got to know much more about my family. Maybe other people that didn't know anything about their famiy got to know much more and wrote about them because they considered them perosnal heroes. The quotation is really nice. For me it means that it is really easy to be a hero because you have to save someone that is having a bad time or as it says is in a rough time. I think that many people that we got to know where heroes in some way or another. It is really good to save someone from something bad and consider yourself a hero. Sometimes it is not that easy to be a hero because sometimes you can make sacrifices that affects you negatively. It can also affect you positively but that is always depending on the person and from which side he/she sees the situation. It is also important to know when you can be a hero or when the sacrifice you have to make is very big and really strong for you that you have to abandon something and always something is lost. In our life we will loose many things but sometimes it is so big that you can consider yourself a hero for being very brave and not doing anything bad. You can control it. If I were a hero I would be really proud of myself because I know that I did something good in humanity. That someone is safe and that she/he is not suffering. In life there will always be someone that needs a hero and there will always be someone suffering. I really liked this post because the idea was for us to reflect on the quotation and i love reflecting on things. Thank you for posting this!! See you tomorrow!!

e a hero, is NOT EASY AT ALL!! and it is not just helping someone, it is lending a hand when someone needs it, it is to be the one who is there on the spot for someone who might need your help! And it is not only in rough spots when a hero appears, he also appears when little problems appear, and he/she helps it not get bigger.

Miss Ale,
I really enjoy working with this proyect of Heroes and Celebrities. When we fists started I haven´t imagined we were going to relate it with a persuassive essay(which talking about it, it was a very good way to relate something we were really enjoying into a writting, specially a persuassive essays because it is an easy way of presenting an argument) and we were going to publish it to a very famous webpage. I really haven´t imagen it, and now we are doing a video, it would be even better. I like a lot that we are doing this proyect at the end of the year because it is very fun, and we can do it with all the knowledge we have learn throughtout the year. Well know talking about the quotation, I think it is really true, because you don´t have to be a hero mundialy famous, you can be just a hero by helping others when they need someone. You can be a hero by just helping a person, because that one needed that help and you gave it to him, but that small help can make that person happy and he/she will consider the person who helped him as a hero. And that person would be proud of have being a good friend and person and he will not only feel as a hero but he will feel very proud of himselve. That is good because on that way the person whom was helped will learn how beutiful it is when they help you so he will start helping others and the person who helped will learn how lovely it feels when you help others so he will help other people but not because he has to, but because he likes helping others and he feels that is very good. Well I think it is a very good reflection of the week, you can reflect a lot from it. Today, in the clean copy og the final exam I was very nervous but then when I hand in I felt relieved. I always get very nervous in test and exams. Thank you for putting this remarkable quotation in the blog. Who wrote it?? That person was very brave.

See you tomorrow, know I will go to study more for Maths final test tomorrow.

hello miss ale: I think that the reflection means that it is easy to be a hero. You need to help someone when he has a difficulty in some thng and that you can make it. YOu just have to help him and you will suerly be a hero to him or her. Athough you will look a strange person or that you think that making that is going to make you be like a stupid person it will happen. but if you dont really care about anything then you will feel perfect and you will be happy. One of the best things that we people like is when someone comes and asks you if you are ok and if he can help you with the work or whatever it is. THat for me is a hero in some way. A hero is for me a person who lends a helping hand when you need it. NOt only big people can be heroes, we kids also can be heroes, if we help people and we are kind to them people will start having faith on you and they will come and ask you help and they will al want to be near you because they know you are a faithfull person and that they can trust you.

This qoutation means that we dont have to say that only recognized people are considered hero or that only recongnized people can be heroes. Each one can be a hero in his own aspects maybe only the one who you helped knows who you are but this doesnt matter you can be a hero ANYWAY

Miss Ale
In a way it is right and on the other it is not. Now I tell you why.

Why yes: Because some people that being a hero is as simple as that,just help someone with a problem and we should all respect what they think. Also becuase, yes mostly all heroes are known because of that, to help other people or also many people...
BUT...
Why No: because it is not just a detail what people do if not we would all be great heroes and there wouldn't be someone so important as Madre Theresa, Martin Luther King, Rene Favaloro, Hellen Keller etc... Everyone would be heroes is this quote is true. If you think it in a way, we can pick up someone's pencil from the floor, and we would be heroes then, or there are many other options which I can give to make us all heroes.

Another conclusion is that if we see it from anotehr point of view it could mean that any person can some day become a great hero, willing to make millions of person's dream come true.


WELL MISS ALE THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR POSTING THIS QUOTE IT REALLY MAKES ME REFLECT AND KNOW I HAVE LOTS OF CONCLUSIONS IN MY HEAD!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH

SEE YOU SOON...

Dear Miss Ale: WHAT A NICE REFLECTON!!!!!!!!!!
IT REALLY TOUCHED ME!!!!!!!!
I think that what it means with this is that many many peopele think that being a hero is a very unique thing to get to and that it is always achived by the very well known people or that maybe they have done something else before the present act, but that isn´t what the word HERO means. HEROE means lots of other thing that will maybe sound kind of rediculouse, but they are really what all of us have, but maybe we didn´t even noticed that this was the answer of being a heroe. You can get to the highest star and reach every single mm in space, and that will mean a LOT to the person who is reciving the star, you are the star and the other peroson is the space, and if there is something that really minds in being a hero is the way you show how you feel for somebody in every different situation that is presented in life, so the most important thing will be to be somebody to whom people can trust you and belive in anything that you tell them. There are different situations where this phrase is just the same as what you are performing in that same moment, when there is a friend that has a secret or something like that to share with you, you have been the one who is being trust, so if she/he is telling you something really important you should be totally concentrated on it and just don´t think of other things you are interested in, her/his problem is showing that that person isn´t going through a very nice situation and it will never be nice to heare that the person who you trusted to tell him/her the secret, doesn´t really mind about it, so whe should put the shoes that that person is wearing. The reflection says that to be a hero you should help somebody in a tough spot, no matter what, that person isn´t having a very good moment with it, or having fun with it, so if you noticed that, you should go and help him/her and with that simple act, that person will you consider YOU a HERO and that is something that many people didn´t belived at first, but if you just think for one moment, you are being the most valuable tool that that person can have at that moment.
MISS ALE I REALLY LOVED THE REFLECTION OF THE WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WISH YOU POST MORE REFLECTIONS MORE FREQUENTLY IF POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!
BYE BYE...
SEE YOU SOON...

I think that the message that it wants to trasmit you is that you arenot only a hero because you are famus or have a lot of money. You car be a ero for others, just for giving a small help.A hero is someone that sacrifices himself to others,a pers that he puts the 100% of effort in what he does for others.
heros fight because rights, maybe knowing that he is risking his life to others.

Hi there!
I really liked the post! I agree with it. You don´t need to be known by everyone to be a hero. You don´t need to save someone to be a hero. To be a hero you need to be a good person. You need to help others whenever they need help. You need to lend a helping hand to people who need you. Being a hero is something that lasts a lifetime. You should always help people, no matter who it is.
See you,

MISS ALE:
I think this reflection is very interesting. My opinion is that it is absolutley true, you just have to give what you have, friendship, HELP, among others... You dont have to be a celebrtiy to be a hero, you can be one to someone allthough all the rest of the people dont know it, but it doesnt matter, when hes a hero to you, it is an importaint person.It is very easy to help. You can go and keep company to others, or help them in every possible way you can. It is so easy, I dont understand why some people dont do it ! It means that you can be importaint to others for what you mean to them, not to others. When you help others in a rough spot, like it says, people appreciate that, and you will be a hero to them. THAT IS WHAT MATTERS !!!!!!!!!
SEE YOU ON MONDAY !
