Education & Career Planning

School club/Organization

This term I joined two clubs, such as TV series club and basketball club. Now, I want to tell you about TV series. In this club, we always have a good time because we can watch lots of funny TV series and some interesting movies. We can learn lots of arguments from the movies. These arguments are the value of our life. All of things will help me to live in this world better.
Each class we only have one hour, so the time in this club was valuable. We caught the time possibly. The first time, we watched famous TV series, “prison break”. All the club members love this program; the main character was a handsome man. His name is Michael Scoffed. He got into the prison because he wanted to save his brother. His brother was sinless, but in this centenary, lots of things were unfair, we can’t change that appearance, however, we can by my effort to change our destiny. The main character always walk around the prison to know well about the way of prison and drew the map of prison. This is a process for him overcame challenges. From this program, we can also know how to use our wisdom in the life to help ourselves prevail difficult.
Then, we watched Hollywood famous big movie “Kung Fu Panda”. This movie was very funny, all the members laugh loudly when we watched the movie. This movie said a story of a panda who want to good at kung fu, but this panda is fat, not have good talent to study kung fu. But another important character, pitch on him. In the beginning, the panda can’t believe all the things, he had not confidence. But the disaster was coming. The panda had not have confidence to good at kung fu. His teacher found if panda want to eat, he will have quick actions. So he use his hobby to exercise him study kung fu. In the end of the story, panda knew all the things were very simple and he had beaten the enemy. He is a kung fu panda. From this movie, we knew in our life, if we want to have successful, we must be insist effort. This quality is very important for us. If we were lazy, I think we will know this world not have free lunch. We must insist study hard, we can success. Believe yourself!
I know lots of things from the TV and activities of this club always help me understand the morality of movie better. I also have some good new friend, because we have the same hobby, we like the same program; we can have the same topic in the class. So, this is a very happy time for me, because, not only I felt happy, but also I know a lot of morality of the world. I can have new and better life in the GCA. I interested in TV series club very much. I will join in this club next term too.

Volunteer/Work Experience（due by Feb.8）

Community Involvement & Employability Skills
Volunteer/Work Experience

At last year, I was a volunteer for the drama ‘The taming of the shrew’. My job was painted the wall. Then the show ended, I got the verification from Ms. Mitschrich.
About 20 people help teachers painted the wall. First, we cut the big paper to the rectangle. Then, we drew the grain of brick with green. At last, we padded grey on the paper. We used brush and paint to finish this work and all the work we just used three colors---green, grey and black. We used green to draw lines, grey to pad the bricks and black to play up bricks. When we finished the wall we can’t believe our eyes. It is like the real one. We also believed the walls will help this show get a big success. The process of painted, because all of us were beginner, we made so many mistakes. But we make concerted effort; these problems were solved at last. Someone painted the bricks too dark and someone who drew lines irregular, too many mistakes. But we helped each other to solve these problems. At last, we waited the wall dry, then, the walls were done. All the work we spend about 2 hours. We felt very tired but very happy.
During this work, I learned everyone in a group should have their own value. Only everyone did their own work carefully, the product will prefect. If we are in a group with 3 or 4 persons, we should do the work together and listen others suggestions because we can’t finish it by ourselves. Everyone should have confident and power to do this work. Also, if each group had a good leader, I think the work will be become easier. A good leader should know the ability of everyone. Then give everyone work to finish, only in this way, we can finish all the work in a quick time.
Teamwork is very important in our life, from this work, we can learn team spirit, we can have a happy time, we can finish the work wonderfully. In the work, we help each other when someone had problems. We can know friendship gradually.
We can use our skill what we study from art class in this work. Contrast and shadow were important skill in this work, we should painted color carefully, the amount of color can’t use too much or too little. We hoped this work should be prefect. It was very funny. All of us had fun from this work. We can learn lots of things to help our life。
This was a valuable experience for volunteer. When we saw the characters on the stage use scenes which one made by us, I really felt happy in my heart. I can’t have money from this work, but I have learnt lots of things. These things can help me have a good future. Thanks teacher gave me a good chance to practice me. Teamwork was the most important thing I learned. I will remember it forever and implement it successful.

Physical Activity

Personal Health
PhysicalActivity (10 hours due by Feb. 8)

This term, I joined school basketball club and I was a member of GCA basketball team. So, I love playing basketball and I am good at playing basketball. At the school, I played basketball once a week. Totally I have got about 20 hours for my physical activities.

Every Wednesday, when I finished school, our club will have some activity to trial our ability; our club teacher Mr. Saxby will choose several persons to join the school basketball team. Mr. Saxby is a very professional basketball coach; I always learnt some practical skills from him. He teaches me how to defend and make us have more power in the match. On the match, I was a center, much time I often must be control the rebound, I have 1.90 meters tall, I have taller height in the same age children, Mr. Saxby always taught me how to control the ball better, I can improve my basketball skill.

Our team had 15 people, we were like a family, when we played a match, we can’t miss someone in the team, because we are integrated, we are a team. I’m grade 10 member of the team, I was the smallest member of the team, and all the grade11 and grade12 members have more experience than me. So I must be work hard. I played basketball every day after school with my classmates, I can felt happy and exercise my body. I can use some skills which I learnt form the teacher, then I can use these skills more practiced, at last I can got more points in the match. So, I love playing basketball, I can get happy from the practice.

In October 2008, we have 2 matches with Nanjing foreign language school and Jiaxing GCA. The first match, in the beginning, we played very bad, I think because this was the first match we have, all the members in the beginning can’t unleash our truth standard. But at the last 10 minutes, we have several good attacks. In the end, we lost 3 points. The second match, we prepared it enough, we played this match very relaxed, so we won this match easily. During the match, I know some new ways to use my skills and I understand teamwork is very important, basketball are 5 people’s sport, not 1 people’s sport, we must pass the ball to your teammate, we should have more chance to win the match. I will remember it.

I have known a lot of new friends in the team, I think not only play basketball can help me keep fit, but also play with good friends is also a way for you have happiness when you exercise. Good mood always make people healthier. This experience was good for our life; we will have more wonderful university life, and make us more and more health in the future.

If we don’t like exercise, we will become fat, if you are a boy, you can’t attract the sight of heterosexual, if you are a girl, and nobody is possible to love you. So, in order to our future, please get more exercise.
