Sophia's "Pay it Forward"

Part 1
The movie: "Pay it Forward"
The movie Pay it Forward is about a boy named Trevor who has this idea of helping three people after he has helped those three people he will tell them to pay it forward to three more people. Trevor is a kind of boy who believes he can do something even when someone tells him he can't. He helps a homeless person by letting him live in his garage. Soon his mom finds out and freaks out and wants to see Trevor's Social Studies Teacher Mr.S They fall in love but Trevor's dad comes back and everything is screwed up again. Trevor has an interview on Pay it forward and he becomes popular at his school. When Trevor is walking home he finds a gang bullying a little boy. He tries to stop them but he gets a knife stuck in his side and dies.
Later that day at night time people come with candles standing and crying in front of Trevor's house. The homeless person who Trever took care of helped an other person who was going to jump of a bridge. He asked if she wanted a cup of coffee with him, It only takes a little bit to make a difference. I thought it was a really sad and happy movie at the same time. I even cried three times.
Part 2
What was your "Pay It Forward" act of kindness?
My pay it forward act of kindness was going to peoples houses to shovel their front yard then give them a paper bag full of candy canes with a note that said "Pay this act of kindness to forward to others. Paying it forward is when you do something for another person without excepting something back. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year"
Why did you choose this activity?
I chose this activity because it was my second choice but then I changed it to my first one because I really wanted to make the paper bags.
Who did you help?
I helped my next door neighbour shovel their front and back yard.
What did you do?
I shoveled snow and handed out candy bags.
When did you do this act of kindness?
I did my act of kindness a couple of days before Christmas.
Part 3
How did your act of kindness go?
How did my act of kindness went? It went really bad. I was looking at front yard to front yard on four streets and only got three people. One person wasn't home so I shoveled there yard. The next person looked through the window and the last person answered the door but didn't want his yard shoveled. So a couple of days later it snowed and I didn't have time so I had to shovel my neighbours front and back yard a couple of days later.
How did you feel?
I felt pretty upset so I went down more streets but only got two yards done because I was supposed to be home in 2 hours.
How did the people react?
One person who actually opened the doors reaction wasn't mean but wasn't nice either.
Did you ask the people to "Pay It Forward"?
That was the problem. I was supposed to shovel then give them the candy bag but people said no when I asked to shovel their yards or weren't home so I didn't do that part.
Part 4
Why is the idea of "Pay It Forward" important?
The idea of "Pay It Forward" is important because there are a lot of people suffering and when we do an act of kindness it changes there lives, puts a smile on there face because of you.
Has your act of kindness made a difference?
I don't think my act of kindness made a difference but I tried.
If I had another chance to do this again my goal is to pick a day when it just snowed the night before.

Sophia's math profile

Hi my name is Sophia well most of you call me Sophie. I am a grade 8 student and my worst subject is math. I think it's because math is hard for me but maybe it's really because I don't try hard enough. Not everything in math is hard for me. In the beginning of chapter 2 there was ratio charts it was so easy I could do it for the whole year. But then there's proportions which I never really got(can any of you help me). MULTIPLYING. I do really poorly at it and in math support Mr.Harbeck taught us how to play a game that he did when he was in grade 4 everday at lunch time him and his mother would play the game so he could get better at it and I'm doing that same thing because it is one of the things that will make me a better student. I have so many goals for math because it's not just to pass grades it's for the future. You need to know and remember how to do everything you've done in school. Cause everywhere you go there is math. Same with reading, remember when you where younger you were just learning how to read( you thought it was hard but you're parents made you try harder)right. Well that's the same with math. Soon all of us will be so good in math we won't even remember that we struggled. All of us will be good at different times. Another goal is to keep and review every test I have done so when we have exams I know exactly what to do. Another one is to listen in class closely and take down notes for the stuff I don't know so I can get help on it later. When I was younger and I mean back in grade 3 I was one of the poorest math people in my class ever. But when it came to number lines. NUMBER LINES where my favourite(so fun:) wanna know why. Because we wold be in a group of 5 or 6 and then we would use licorise for the numer line and play diffrent number line games. My favourite part is the treats. Another thing we did in grade 3 was playing multyplying games and Math bingo. (so fun:). When it comes to math games I'm a pro cause all I think about it is winning. The same with vollybal(to me). When I'm practising without a ball it is so easy and I mean EASY. But when we are actually playing a game WITH THE BALL that's all I think about yes that's all I think about, the ball.
