Interdisciplinary Project

                        Interdisciplinary Project

This year for the interdisciplinary project they made attendance mandatory. Last year attendance was optional but this year everyone had to go so I really had to study and know everything I was doing.  For my interdisciplinary project my group and I researched and presented on Hemophilia. Hemophilia is a rare blood disorder where the blood doesn't produce enough clotting proteins so if someone gets a cut they will bleed for a longer time or won’t stop bleeding which can lead to major blood loss or death. We all decided to  split the work and have each of us study about one aspect about it so if anyone asked questions we would be able to answer. That way we wouldn't have to know everything about hemophilia. I was in charge of learning about treatment and cures for hemophilia. I had to learn if there was a cure (there isn't) and the treatments options which included the cost of the treatments, what the treatment does, and how they work. The treatment that I focused on most was replacement therapy which is a injection of the clotting proteins to give the person the clotting proteins they can’t produce themselves. Then we all made the power point and practiced presenting and when we presented in front of the panel we all felt nervous but  we did a pretty good job. 

Student Success Statement

When I feel good,

I do good.

When I do bad,

I feel bad.”

Abraham Lincoln

Reflection: I think that this statement is trying to say that we all should feel proud of accomplishments but feel guilt when doing bad things. I think an example of feeling good when you do good is getting a good grade or winning something without cheating and feeling like you accomplished something and doing bad would be lying about doing something honestly when you actually cheated and stole the prize from someone who actually deserved the prize.

Student Success Statement

“Take responsibility for your own body, mind, and spirit, for your own physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.”

Mr. Haymore

Reflection: I think that it is important to take care of all aspects of yourself and not just the ones that we want to. An example of taking care of yourself physically is to not smoke or drink or do anything that will harm your body, and example of taking care of your mind is by never getting lazy and always stimulating your mind, and an example of taking care of your spirit is to do things that will make you happy like listening to music, reading, or anything that is brings you joy (that does harm your mind and body).  

Student Success Statement

“We need the courage to start and continue what we should do, and the courage to stop what we shouldn't do.”

Richard L. Evans

Reflection: This quote is saying that we must make good decisions even if making them intimidates us. Its saying that we must choose to do the right thing and to stop doing what is bad even if doing so would affect others opinion of you. 

Always Do Right

Reflection: In the story Patrick has the choice of listening to his parents or listen to what he wanted and he chose to do what he wanted. They warned him to wear shoes or he could hurt his feet but he did not listen and got stung by a scorpion and he was in pain for over two hours. This story shows how choosing to do the right thing is not a roadblock or limitation but can actually be to protect us from getting hurt. If Patrick had listened to his parents and followed the rules he wouldn’t have gotten stung by the scorpion.

                     “Always do right”

                                     Mark Twain

Reflection: I think that this statement means exactly what it is saying; always do right. It means that we must always do what is right, not just when it suits us. 

When You Tell One Lie It Leads to Another

Paul Hatch

When you tell one lie, it leads to another

So you tell two lies to cover each other

Then you tell three lies and, Oh Brother,

You’re in trouble up to your ears!

So you tell four lies to try to protect you

Then you tell five lies so folks won’t suspect

You

Then you tell six lies and you’ll collect

A life filled with worries and fears

‘Cause you can’t remember how many lies

You’ve told

And half the things you say aren’t true

And sometime you’ll slip up, you’ll trip up

And then

Whatever will become of you?

So you lie and lie and without even trying

And each lie you tell will keep

Multiplying

‘Till the whole wide world will know

You’re lying

Then you’ll be

Suspected

Detected

Rejected

Neglected

Disliked

And you should!

When you lie, you’re closing the door

Veterens Day

History of Veterans Day

Veterans Day was officially recognized when U.S. President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed Armistice Day for November 11, 1919. It later became referred to and known as veterans day and is a national holiday in the United States. It is a celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.

Reflection: I think that veterans day is important because it reminds us that all our freedoms and opportunities are not free and are protected by men and women in uniform. The day helps us remember that the people who fight for our freedoms risk there lives for us and deserve to be remembered and respected. The day started as a way to make a official date (it was celebrated on different days by everyone) and that it is great to have a holiday for veterans but I think that people should remember and respect veterans everyday for fighting for freedom.

Reflection: 

I think that this statement is correct because people are really influenced by what is around them so it makes sense that those who hang out with a better crowd are going to be wise and those who hang out with a bad crowd will turn out bad.

Since then people in the United States have been celebrating it and Columbus Day first became an official state holiday in Colorado in 1906, and became a federal holiday in the United States in 1937.
