Hello Brian, I hope your week at Scout Camp was most enjoyable. Over the weekend, my son was with his fellow Scouts playing tug of war, well he managed to hurt his hand fairly bad. I need to take him to the doctor this afternoon to see how bad its injured. So I will be out of pocket starting around noon. I will make sure any heat tickets or other requests that come in prior to taking off are taken care of.
I am reading the novel Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, which is the third book in the Hunger Games series. I am on page 261 in the novel and have read 601 pages this quarter. At this point in the novel many events have taken place. Peeta has come to District 13 and suffers from being hijacked while he was in the capitol, which causes him to loathe Katniss’s existence. In this journal I will be rewriting chapter twelve from Peeta Mallark’s point of view.
“I am evolving from being an animal, ' Shin said. 'But it is going very, very slowly. Sometime I try to cry and laugh like other people, just to see if it feels like anything. Yet tears don 't come. Laughter doesn 't come.” Tears, laughter, this all comes easy to most of the world, but it is much more complex than that for North Korean escapee, Shin Dong-Hyuk. After living in a prison camp for his entire life, it is no wonder how tears and laughter would be difficult to manage. Both Shin’s past and the environment of places like Camp 14 play a significant role in who he is today. Understanding the struggle to assimilate after escaping hell on earth and how all of these events have affected Shin and his mental health is crucial. To fully
Exposition- The exposition in Dirt Diary is modern day in a town where there are a lot of wealthy people and big houses.
My heart leapt in my throat- I did my best to try and regulate my breathing so I wouldn’t give away my position with massive, choking gulps of air. Closing my eyes, I tried to re-collect blissful memories, ones that were far away from this state of affairs. I couldn’t calm down; this was so bad- what was I going to do? His steps were getting closer; they were getting louder. I panicked, I panicked.
The movie begins with Simon Srebnik going back to Chelmno, he is one of the two survivors. He was taken to Chelmno when he was thirteen, his father was killed in front of him, and his mother died in the gas vans. He was known throughout the camp for his agility and his beautiful singing voice. Before abandoning the camp the Nazis shot everyone, including him, in the head. He was left for dead, but was found and survived. Simon went back to tell of the experience he had. He cannot believe what happened as he walks along what is left of the frame of the buildings. He said that 2,000 were burnt per day, but he remembers the camp as being peaceful. No one ever shouted, they just went about their work. He was forced to go up the river, under
On Scout’s first day of school, she runs into trouble with the new teacher Miss Caroline. Scout takes the responsibility of informing the teacher that she has made a mistake with Walter Cunningham when he does not have lunch money. The teacher offers to loan him some money. Scout tells her that Walter will not take the money because he cannot pay it back. Miss Caroline punishes Scout.
I’m in the middle of my 24th year of Staff Training. I have spent an exponentially amount of time on this through the years. These young adults have come here to Camp Peniel to serve, and I want to arm them with the best material, deepest insights, greatest stories & all the ‘armour of God’ they can put on! These are ‘my people’ that I will pray over, love, and cry with and over through the years.
Before I became a camp counselor, I attended counselor training for a few days. During these days we discussed how to deal with children that became homesick, upset, or angry. We talked about how to show kids how to be comfortable talking to God and praying. Since this was a church camp we discussed how we would teach the bible study every day of the week we counseled. After the training week I had to prepare many things on my own. I prepared games and crafts for my cabin of girls to participate in. I prepared myself mentally for the task I was about to attempt to complete. The day before the camp week started I arrived at the cabin to make it as comfortable and welcoming as it could be for the eight girls that would arrive the next day. My
As a student of Saint Lawrence, any kid can be a steward to other people. They can serve others and assist them with their journey to become a more adept Catholic steward. I’m currently a boy scout right now in Troop 101. A boy scout can exemplify as being a steward. They aid other people and serve the nation on what they decided to establish. As a boy scout, there's one community service I associated with with my fellow troop members this year. The service was at Mount Saint Joseph Carmelite Monastery up in the hills. Nuns and priests needed people to assist them with clearing twigs and garbage in one of their fields, so the janitor doesn’t have to do too much work in there and just pick up the trash instead. Troop 101 was in charge of picking
Good Evening, Miss Scout. It has been awhile since I have been able to speak to you. Ever since you moved out of Maycomb County a few years ago, things have been different. The kind of independence and courage that you and your brother Jem occupied is now existent. Maycomb County has become a place of equality, thanks to you, Jem, and Atticus. The Niggers, such as Tom Robinson’s family, now live as freely as a bird, and without fear. Everyone here has started to stand up for what they believe in, and stand up for what is correct. It is with my pleasure to be able to finally say that everyone here in Maycomb county has an opinion of life on their own, and the people firmly stick with that belief. The kind of respect the people
I used to work as the senior camp counselor of Raise Leaders Camp of Tae Kwon Do where I would have daily interactions with the youth campers and I set the example of how to be a leader to junior camp counselors. My responsibilities included supervising the campers, planning out field trips, and dealing with any conflicts that arose. Through this experience, I learned crucial leadership skills such as how to cooperate with fellow team members how to communicate to children in a manner they would understand and respect me at the same time. Moreover, I always made sure the campers had everything they needed and if they ever needed any help with a problem or just someone to talk to then they could always come to me.
The twentieth century in comparison to today is drastically different. Even when it comes to small things like Girl Scouts! As history goes on Girl Scouts has continued to progress as well. A small group that was formed over one hundred years ago has grown into a global movement, in over ninety-two countries. Girl Scouts is a very different female program than it was in the twentieth century because the cookies and other products have changed, the uniforms are different, and there are many new levels in girl scouts.
I have done many, many different service projects from, shoveling mulch and gravel, rebuilding a outdoor basketball court, building new tent frames as I said, picking up trash on the beach, being in the orchestra for LSOH (little shop) (Dama got all the proceeds), clearing brush, cleaning up after the ice storm (branches), helping give out food to the homeless and others that I can’t remember anymore. These are my most recent service projects, with the Boy Scouts I have done so many different projects that I have lost track of them. I rarely ever take note of them because I don’t want to seem like I am doing this for some goal or some higher purpose. I really am just doing them because I have the time and it’s not like I’m spending my free
If I had to choose one item to take with me when hiding from the Nazis, I would choose to take my diary. This is because in my diary, I would be able to write down all of my thoughts and feelings without being penalized for them. When I am hiding from the Nazis, I cannot make any sound or talk since that could give myself and my family away. Because of this, I have to keep my opinions and judgments to myself. However, with a diary, I can say what I want to say and speak my mind freely. This will not only help to keep me occupied during hiding, but it will also help me vent out my feelings on paper. In addition, this specific item has much meaning and value. The fact that this diary is basically a book captivates one’s feelings and thoughts, it makes it the story of a person’s
In the 2nd grade I made one of the most influential decision’s in my life, to become a Cub Scout of Pack 920. In Cub Scouts I learned basic skills of character and service. When I was in fifth grade I crossed over into Boy Scouts Troop 87. Boy Scouts taught me how to improve my character and leadership skills. Boy Scouts has given me many opportunities to volunteer in my community. Boy Scouts has given me the necessary skills to be an effective member of National Junior Honor Society.
