1. The Blenders is a unique class, as one of the eldest of Elders what unique strengths do you bring to the class?
My personal strengths are:
I guess I’m pretty good at math, sports; I can solve problemo’s between classmates. I’m not trying to sound arrogant but I believe I am a good friend.
2. How do you see yourself contributing to the positive growth of the Blender Community?
My contributions to the community are:
I have worked with younger kids a lot so I have quite some experience and I can use that to help youngers.
3. This year we will focus on the concept of change, on a personal level, what kind of changes would you like to make, as an Elder, in order to be a positive role model to others in the class?
The changes I would like to make are:
Well some of these changes have or are in the process of changing already: I would like to sit with my friends less at group time therefore reducing my disruptive talking. I would like to help more youngers.
4. From your perspective, how can we make Blender Buddies more meaningful and productive for both Elder and Younger students?
Well for one you can let the kids decide their blender buddies because in the past I or other people known to me were hoping to be paired with one person and it didn’t turn out to be and they were really disappointed.
We could also do some more fun projects like for example we could do an I.P like project but instead of doing it solo, we could do it with our buddies.
5. Do you have any other goals for the year? Academic, social, physical, behavior, etc?
To decide my I.P project topic before March 31st . He He!
