My Bulling Day

First of all I want to get this strait, every one makes mistakes. At least once in your life you have made a mistake, right? Well my mistake was a very big one, (to me) so here's my story... 

You know how there can never be a odd number of girls in a group? How they just exclude and ignore each other? Well thats what happened in my story...

I was having a sleepover with my two friends (friend 1 and friend 2) at friend 1s house, Now they were both really close friends so I was planing on not messing anything up with any of them. I had sleep overs before with three friends and new that it was hard to keep things organized. While my mom was driving me to friend 1s house I was thinking about how to keep things together and not let things slip out of hand. Unfortunately, things didn't go as my plan. When I got to friend 1's house friend 2 wasn't there yet, friend 1's mom and my mom talked for some time while friend 1 and I went inside and started playing. After a little while when my mom had gone, the doorbell rang! It was friend 2. Of coarse we first got all exited, and then whispered "lets play a prank on her and hide in the closet." Friend 1's mom answered the door and shouted to friend 1 and I "Friend 2's here!" She told friend 2 we would be in friend 1's room. Friend 2 entered the room and shouted for us. We were giggling and laughing, but she didn't hear us even when we did that. She started searching for us, soon we got tired of staying in the closet and came out to find friend 2 disappointed and frightened. But that was only the little start of us excluding friend 2. We walked ahead of her in the park, we only talked to each other, instead of facing friend 2  as well as friend 1 at the same time we only faced each other, we gossiped about her all night long, and so many more things I can't name them all!

If I were to take some years back and step into those shoes again I wouldn't have come to the sleepover in the first place, since I new there was going to be and odd number. If it were my first sleepover I wouldn't have hide in the closet in the first place, that's what started the whole thing excluding thing.

One goal I have this year is that if I see any bulling going on I go and either tell a teacher or stand up for the innocent people that are being bullied. Another goal I have for this year is if I hear any rumors or gossips that I know are not true I stop them.

My Courage Day

I've showed courage many time's and in many ways, but one of my favorite times was very recently in my Hari Raya break in 2010. Here's my story...

My family had gone on a vacation to a beach resort near Langkawi in Malaysia called Taj (the island was Berak)     My dad, sister and i decited to go scuba diving leaving my brother and my mom at the resort. We left the island where we stayed with a small boat, toke a can to a deck where we waited and rested there for a bigger air conditioned boat that would take us near a small island. We would stay in the boat on the water. This is the part where my courage kicked in...


The instructors had divided the people who had there licence in diving and who were doing a intro dive. Unlike my my dad and sister already had their licence in diving , so we weren't supposed to dive together, luckily the instructors let us dive together . The instructor just was by my side. There are 4-5 divers in one group, so my sister, dad, the instructor and I all dived together as a group. Our plan for the day was 20-35 mins dive before lunch then for the licensed divers another dive after lunch. We had lunch at the small beach part on the island. If i was good enough on the first dive then I could go on the second dive after lunch as well as the first one. There were many people on the boat but most of them were doing snorkeling.


Now this toke lots of courage because not only was this my first time diving, I was also the youngest diver from all that were doing diving and Intro diving. Not only did those things scare me but four out of six grown ups canceled their dive because they were to scared. They ended up doing snorkeling. But in the end it was all worth it, I'm putting scuba diving on my To Do list. :)

What do Artifacts Tell us about the lives of early humans?

Artifacts can tell us many things about the lives of early humans. For example a spear can mean the hominid who owned it loved to hunt. Or an archeologist who found a pot might have found out that the hominid that owned the pot liked to cook. Artifacts tell us about the culture of hominids. Artifacts also lead us to discover what hominids did at their time, and they help us uncover mysteries about their lives.

My group and I got a picture of a horse carved onto a spear, we guessed that the spear was made by a very experienced lady, for a man to go and kill animals with. It looked very well used and sharp and a little burnt so I'm guessing the spear was very helpful to the owners who used it.We were being kind of like archeologists when we were making all those predictions and observations.
