It was long enough, though. ==== ==== By the time I broke the surface, I had almost given up hope, but I found myself in the air and took a huge, gulping gasp. ** I splashed around, happy just to be alive. That's when the hand reached down and grabbed me. Before I had a chance to think, I had been hauled into a small boat and dumped there like a load of fish. ** I opened my eyes and was surprised--and happy--to see Jeremy staring down at me. ====

"Is that all you can think about?" I demanded.

=== Hi and welcome to my belief podcast! My name is Jiwoo Lee, I'm 13 and my home country is Korea! I think the most important thing in a person's life is to have a belief. Beliefs make you who you are and what you do! The things I love most are animals! I have a strong belief related to animals! ===

__<span style="color: #f0004c; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 33.5px;">Belief Draft #1 __
==== Most people say humans are better than animals, but I think they are all equal! I think animals can think and express their feelings to each other and also to humans! Animals don't just bite or scratch, they can do more things that are helpful and sweet! They are just scared at the first! This belief influences my life! When I started to believe that animals and humans should be treated equally I was 10 years old. I watched a Korean program about animals (especially dogs and cats). One episode I watched was about a dog who saved his owner! When I finished watching that, my eyes started to water a lot! I didn't understand what was so sad but soon I wanted to help people to get closer to animals (pets)! This belief influences me a lot because I sometimes bring people closer to animals! For example my friend in Korea was really scared of dogs, so one day I was talking about dogs and I tried to make her feel comfortable with them! The next day she loved animals and had a pet dog! People and animals are equal and should be treated equal! ====

What does it mean to live? I believe that we all have a reason to be alive and to live. I believe that I have a reason to be alive. I don’t know the reason yet, but I believe I will know the reason soon. I got this belief when I was about 10. Ever since I was young, I kept on thinking why am I alive and why are the people around me alive? When I just turned 10, I asked my mom the question! "Mom, why are you alive?" =====

=
Then my mom answered my question again, "No, not yet but I think its because you are born as my daughter!" Then suddenly I started to think why I am alive! As I said before, I don't know yet why I am alive but I believe that I will soon! A great example is when a person achieves his/hers goal or dream. I think this belief influences my life because I try to figure out what my dream or goal is! Whenever I get one year older, I keep on changing my dreams! Because I am in middle school now, I think its time for me to decide my dreams and my goals and achieve it! Living can be hard sometimes but I think each of us has a special reason to be in this world. =====

When it comes to happiness, sadness, you go to your friends and share your sadness/happiness. I believe having friends are really important in life. I can't image a person without a friend! Friends are people who you trust and believe in. Having a friend has influenced my life a lot. I realized this belief when I didn't have a best friend. When I was young I would always feel lonely because I was the only child in my family! I realized then that friends are important in my life! When I started to make new friends I would tell my best friend all my secrets and we used to share a lot of things that are going on in our life. When my best friend had to leave to another country, I started to cry. When my best friend (Hyun-Ju) left to another country, I had no one to tell anything at all! It doesn't matter how they look, how they smell, hear, taste or anything! It just matters that you trust and believe in that friend. =====


 * Having a belief is a natural thing. I think my beliefs make me who I am and how I act, think, hear, see, ect. These beliefs will not be erased or forgotten. They will always stay in my heart forever. I hope you have a belief that will stay in your heart forever! Thank you for listening to my procast about beliefs. **

=
I choose the essey called "The Triumph of Kindness" because I wanted to look deeper in to the essey. The whole class listened to this essey for an example, but I wanted to choose this essey for my Assignment #2. Josh Stein Belives that when people come together, it's a beutiful thing. When Josh Stein talked about his brother, I rellized that when people come together, it is a beutiful thing! Josh Stein Belives that when people come together, it's a beutiful thing because he has seen everyone caring for eachother and helping one and another! He has a brother and he has disabilitys. Josh said "He had never even played baseball due to his disability. He couldn’t stand, and he certainly couldn’t hit." But when everyone helped his brother sam, Sam made a homerun! I think this is a strong Belive that he can never forget and erase. =====

=__ 3-4 things I believe in! __= When I think of Beliefs, the first thing that pops in to my head is religion! I am Christian, we believe in many things! One example is we believe that Jesus is always with us and always helps us with everything we struggle. Other people might think that’s impossible but that’s what I believe in! I feel safe when I Believe that god is always with me. Another things I believe in are not related to Religion! But it has something to do with my personal life. I believe that people all have a reason to be alive and to live. I believe that I have a reason to be alive. I don’t know the reason yet, but I believe I will know the reason soon. The last belief I am going to talk about is that I believe that pets and animals have thoughts and feelings just like humans! When I had a pet cat, She was just a dirty street cat. She didn’t know anything at all! I took care of her every time and I LOVED her. When time past, I’ve noticed that my cat relisis my face and my voice! When my mom or dad came to her, calling her name, she ran away. But when I came home back from school, she would run towards me! Rubbing her head against my legs… I respect all animals and pets and I think Beliefs don’t erase, I think they stay in your heart forever.

changes both cultures. ||  || Ideas from different countries may change both thoughts. For an example, if a Buddhist monk talks about his religion, the person he is talking to might change his religion! I learned this from the video that Mr. Tabbara showed us. ||  || My family goes to the church every Friday. || cultures come into contact. ||  || When the Koreans were occupied by the Japanese, the Koreans had to learn Japanese because they weren't allowed to speak Korean. I learned that from reading the book, "When my name was Keoko". ||  || some of the Koreans song has Japanese in them! || cultures? ||  || people identify their own culture by wearing,eating,speaking, ect. in their own cutural way. I learned this from reading "When my name was keoko" when Sun-hee showed her culture by trying to learn Korean alphabet. (her own country's alphabet Hangle) ||  || I identify my culture by eating korean food and talking in Korean || take place? ||  || Romans started wearing silk from China. Because China traded a lot of silk for glass wear which the Romans had a lot. I learned this from Ch.24. (HA text book) ||  || The Korean restaurant served Japanese soup. || of diffusion? ||  || For an example, the silk road! I think the silk road has a lot of different temples, because they are trading a lot of ideas and thoughts! Also, the silk road has different kinds of fruits, clothing, resturants, ect. because the silk road is mainly the main place people trade different kinds of things! I learned this from the vidieo Mr. Tabbara showed us. ||  || my family went to China town to eat chinese food. || interact in positive, neutral, and negative ways? ||  || Some people has to do different things that they are not used to because many people from different countries has different cultures! For an example, in America, they mostly eat with forks, spoon, and knifes but in Dhaka Bangladesh, they mostly eat with their bare hands. So if one person from America visits a Bangladesh family, The person from America might have to eat with bare hands! I learned this from the activity we did with Ms. Jonsens class. ||  || My Dad and I, ate with our bare hands while eating bangalie food ||

Because they invented different kinds of tools and survived, they affected our life again by farming!

=**__ Cube Reflection! :) __**=

1. What did you enjoy most about making the cube? I enjoyed making the family tree by being creative.

2. What was the most difficult part about making the cube? mostly it wasn't difficult, but making the cube and measuring the cube was hard.

3. What would you do differently if you were to do a similar project again? I would put more details in my cube and make it colorful!

4. Which life skill (time management, independence, organization, etc.) do you think you practiced while you made this cube? **Explain**how you practiced it. I practiced time management skills because i did one cube side day by day instead of doing the hole cube in the last day.

=**__ Flight Reflection! :) __**=

> I was a communicator and i had good time management skills because i really had to communicate with my team mates to get the flight plan correct and ready. and i had to have good time management skills because to know what i am doing next and not wasting my time.
 * 1) Did you feel like you were in a race? Yes, Why or why not? At the end we wanted to finish our flight plan quickly as possible because the air orange almost got the first place to reach the final destination.
 * 2) Did you and other team members agree on what to do? Not very much, Why or why not? because we discussed a lot for making a disition for example, if i wanted to go to small town, and my other group member said they want to go to Morgan town, we discuss why our opinion is different and we end up with a solution.
 * 3) What parts of the flight activity were the most challenging? t he flight plan Why? because we had to plan out where to go, and we had to discus about it to.
 * 4) If you were going to do a similar team activity again, what would you change? I would change the flight more interesting. Like instead of bunny paper airplanes we could mark our planes in a computer or any electronic things.
 * 5) Name two life skills (e.g. teamwork, problem solving, time management, independence, organization, communication, etc. ) you worked on during this flight simulation. For **each** life skill you chose, give an example of how you worked on it during your flight simulation experience. I was time management
