We Demand Apology!!

We, as the natives of Australia have ourselves in full confidence to demand you White Australians, for your apology for what you have done to our fathers about two generations ago. As a native Australian, we shall prove once again to our native ancestors that we too, are capable of defending our race. Our forefathers lived to their deaths defending our native soil. Many of our fellow natives have died from the raging small pox that came from the British fleet. WE DEMAND APOLOGY!! We demand apology for the sake of our forefathers. We demand apology for what you people did to our forefathers. We demand apology for the children of the "Stolen Generation" from their parents you people took under the order of A O Neville. And if God wills, with its power and might, you people will deliver what we and our forefathers have wished, like President John F Kennedy once said:

"When one man is enslaved, all are not free. When all are free, then we look can look forward"

Molly Craig

In the move "Rabbit Proof Fence" the main character Molly Craig is not regarded as the hero. Although she has a very deep knowledge on tracking. When she was captured by the evil British, she escaped their camp. She knew that if she and her sister and younger cousin escaped during the rain, their footprints will be washed away and they can't be tracked. I strongly disagree regarding her as the "hero" because she only helped her family not the other half caste children. Although Molly did saved her younger sister and cousin, but to be a hero, I think she will need to do more to be a hero.

In 1945, there was a victory parade when the U.S soldiers returned from combat. People regarded them as "hero". But I don't think they are the "true heroes". The true hero of World War ll are those who never returned. Those who died on the bloody battlefield fighting to save their country.

My Learning Profile

I learn best when I stay after school individually with the teacher I needed assistance from. I learn faster because I will be more focused and there are no distractions. I do not learn well in class as there are lots of distractions from other students ( kids yelling out answers, side talks and etc) I learn that I get better marks from staying after school with a teacher whom I can learn enthusiastically and be a good student.

I need to find time after school to get help individually from a teacher to explain in detail the concepts which I do not understand. I found out that, for example for my math, by staying after school, my grades go up higher. My resolution is to get better grades so that I can become a good student and have a better future. 

The strategies that would help my learning is staying after school and go through what I learn in class in the morning.  Staying after school is really worth my time. I get help individually and also I can ask as much question as I want without feeling shy. Practice is also a good strategy.  Vince Lombardi once said “Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect." By practicing, we gain more understanding and when we gain more understanding, we will do well on quizzes or tests because the information needed is memorized.

I would like all my teachers to know that I would want to stay after school or at lunch break for immediate assistance. Staying after school is preferred to lunch breaks because it provides more time. Short lunch break is too short for me to learn.

Failing a test is an abhorrent to every nerves in my body; it is my duty as a student to persevere in improving my grades.  My parents unanimously concluded that because of me playing too much video games and having gadgets can affect my studies and make me a lazy person. Today, I have come to realize that because of video games and gadgets (iPod, iPhone and etc) will affect my grades because I am not focused, particularly now when I am preparing for high-school next year with tougher challenges. I sincerely hope that I will do my very best in everything I do. I also would like to receive support from teachers to help me move forward in my learning.
