So from Friday to tonight I went to a French leadership symposium called <<FESFO>>. It was AMAZING!!!!!!!.  We had VERY, VERY long days where we experienced a lot of things including finances, simulations and most interestingly, we learned how to learn, something that will help me for the rest of me life. 

 

FESFO is an organization "par et pour les enfants" which means by and for kids. It's an amazing organization and I'm so glad to have been picked for this!

I have tons of pictures, but unfortunately I cannot post them, so here is a glimpse of one of the groups I worked with....

Tonight I went to a friend’s show that he performed in so it was a nice way to end my school week cause tomorrow I am leaving for 3 days for a leadership retreat (remember the posts from October 2, 2011 and September 25?). 

Tomorrow morning I go to Windsor for 3 days of leadership and media arts where I'll learn about fundraising, publicity and media stuff. It'll also come in handy for my IB program since all the work we are doing will count for some of my CAS hours.

Today I went to the gym to check out my progress - I am sooo happy about my push ups and my endurance today!  Back on the treadmill I did another 35 minutes! Whoo hoooooooo.....

Later I need to work on my final Reviews for this (PPL10) course!  I am hoping to finish up my CyberBullying assignment and hope I can get it out before the end of next week!  Stay tuned Mr. Strutt….

Wanted a picture for my blog.... thought Yoga Cat is cute!

Today I went back to the Y to use the treadmill and then I went to Yoga.  I felt great today and got a good 35 minutes run in on the treadmill. Also had my iPod listening to NeverShoutNever!

Today I went to the Y to go rock climbing so that I could stretch and relax at the same time!  It gives me a good stretch while a I get to “hang” around!  I want to get back to my gymnastics so as soon as my membership expires at the end of the year, I will go to gymnastics, so I am working hard at my flexibility! 

Hey Mr. Strutt, can't wait to complete my Activity #4 so you can see my progress

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." -John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Today was Remembrance Day and I had some activities to facilitate in school this morning.

The quote that I used at the top of today's blog is a result of one of the assignments for this course - remember the meaningful quotes that we had to lookup on teamwork? I thought that I would post the same here for Remembrance Day.

While looking on the net, I found some interesting stuff, for example … 

 The Last Post is the trumpet or bugle call sounded at 10 pm each night to inform soldiers that they should be inside their quarters for the night. It is also sounded at military funerals and commemorative services... to indicate that the soldier has completed his life's work and has entered into his rest.

Last night I was so sore that I went to bed early. But this morning I was still sore from my dentist’s torture (sorry Dr. S.) so I had to take a pain killer that made me sleep ‘till past noon, (every teenager’s dream on a school day)!

Didn’t do much of anything except veg out. But I did manage to send in a lot of my assignments that I hadn’t done yet (sorry Mr. Strutt, hope you don’t have to spend your weekend correcting!).
