#27 Oprah's Story

Oprah, to me is sort of unbeleavable. She has a tv show anh has people come on who have problems. Then she fixes the problems and gives away alot of free stuff and everyone is happy. I find that she is always giving away huge prizes , i mean where does she get all the money to do al this. The same goes for ellen. They both give away big prizes regularly and always has alot of money. Oprah's show, to me is very boring. In general i am not a fan of Oprah but i do aprecceate what she does for people that need help.

#24 Safe Schools

I wasn't on the field trip but from what was said in class it was okay. The people that went said that there should have been more talking in small groups than big lecures and that makes sence. To me, i take more out of a confrence if it is more of a discussion type than one person talked an the rest just listen. other than that the topic was good and the people that went learned alot.

#23 Think Pink

For the Think pink day on April 14th i was home sick. From what I've heard it went very well and a lot of people participated. It takes a lot to stand up to a bully as an individual trust me i know, but as a group, the bully stands no chance and that is the significance of the think pink day and why it was started.

#15 Blue and White Overnight

In general, I think that this is a fantastic way to raise money. is is 5 dollars to get in but then there are raffles, pie in the face, and also a tuck shop to but candy and pop. The Overnight also gives the chance for people to hang out with their friends and just have alot of fun in a safe enviroment. I, unfortuneetly can not make it to the onernight. It sounds like alot of fun and i hope that everyone has fun and noone gets hurt.

#14 Spring clean up

I know that i am a little behind on my blogs for this one but i think that it is a very good idea. It is a great way for IDCI to get out in the community and for people in the comunity to get the help that they might need. It also puts a good name in the community that IDCI has an active Leadership class that acually goes out of their way to help out. It is also another way to raise that little bit more that we need , as a school, to make a new well in Seirra Leone.

#25 What can IDCI learn from Moanrch Park Collegiate?

IDCI as a group can learn alot from Moanrch Park Colegiate and alot from their play Blue. It shows alot about domestic violence and the problem with sexual orentation. I believe that many people will and have been afected by this play in a good way. I can only hope that people, including my self, will learn that the bistander is more powerful than you take them to be. Blue is a perfect example of what we all should do when we are faced with a situation like the play blue was all based on.
