Carlo's Scribe Post- Textbook 4,5 and 8

4)For 4 A what I did was I divided 20 and 100 then I got 0.2After that I multiply 0.2 to 60 so my final answer is 12.

B) For 4 B what I did was the same thing as 4 A. I divided 250 to 100 and I get 2.4 and then I multiply 2.4 to 400 so my final answer is 1000

.

C)

For 4 C I did it the different way what I did was a proportion statement so what I did was I wrote 10.50 and divided it by 100 and get 0.105 same thing to the bottom I divided it by 100. After I got the answer I took 0.105 and multiply it by 100 and get the final answer of 10.5.

5) For 5 A what I did was I took 2,5 and divided it together so then I get 0.4 then after I divided 0.4 to 100 and get 0.004, after I multiply 0.004 to 32.5 and the answer of 1.3.

B) For 5 B what I did was the same thing with 5A but I didn't move any decimals.

C)For 5 C is pretty much the same thing as what I did earlier. You divide 175 to 100 and get 1.75 then after that I multiplied 1.75 to 25.50 and get $219.625.

8) What I did for 8 was a ratio table, First thing I did was 100 divide by 4 then I get 25, 100 divide by 100 then I get 1 and the last what I divide 1 by 2 and get 1/2. The same thing to the other side what ever you do to the one side, you do the same thing on the other side so my final answer is $21.42.

Kate's Pay it Forward

Part 1

Pay it forward means doing good things to other people and making a difference for their life.

Part 2

My Pay It Forward is an act of kindness to help Charry’s auntie's friend who's disabled. we did this with my partner Charry Mangaya. We decided what are we going to do. We chose this activity because we like to help (old) people with disabilities. We helped Precilla Malla, we call her tita (auntie) Malla, she's 59 years old, and she’s disabled with psoriasis arthritis and diabetes since 2003. We asked her what we can do for her. We did this act of kindness last November 13, 2011 at 11:30 A.M to 3:30 P.M.

Part 3

Our act of kindness went well. First Charry introduced me to her; we asked her "what can we do for her?”

We saw her kitchen, there's a lots of dirty dishes. So, we washed it, we cooked rice for her, we swept the floor, we cleaned her table. We saw her bedroom and she asked us is it okay to help her fold some of her clothes and we said “yes we can". We noticed that her bedroom is crowded with her things and a little bit messy; I told her that we can do some "interior designing to her bed room ". We moved some stuff, while we're cleaning up; we were talking and sharing stories like her experience when she's young. We're done at that time. We asked permission, if we can take a video and a photo to her. She approved. She was so happy when she saw her bedroom was all cleaned up. She told us that she's going to pay but we told her that it’s okay because we did this for free and she doesn't have to pay us .She's so thankful to us . She wants us to visit and to come back if we have a free time. Charry and I had so much fun . were so happy because we make her so happy and Charry and I helped each other to take pictures and videos and to help Tita Malla.

Part 4

Pay it forward is important because you share good things to others with the intension to make a difference not only to their life’s but to yourself as well .

weday

At the MTS center we heard some amazing speakers and we heard some pretty awesome singers. I had so much fun watching my favorite speaker Spencer west talk to us about his life and how he grew up with no legs. the things i liked the most about we day was the fact that i was chosen to make a difference. we did the we day dance more than twice and that was so much fun and an amazing experience for me. my first weday this year and i hope i can help change the poverty rate and help in some way so cild soilders will have the right to speake upfor their selvs and make their own decissions. the MTS center was filled with 16 thousand youth that are willing to change the world. ARE YOU ONE OF THEM? i am and i promise that on nov. 30th to take the vow of silence for 24 hrs and I would really like it if you would join in to give child soulders the right to speak nd the freedom to act like thier selves.

We Day

Today, on November 23,2011, I got to experience a life changing event. There were a lot of speakers talking about how we, kids, adults, teenagers, and well, basically everyone can make a difference to this world. 16 000 attended the life changing event, We Day. I will now share what I remember.

There was a girl named Hannah Taylor. When she was six years old, she saw a man eating food from a garbage can, and wanted to change that. So at the age of eight, she decided to make her fundraiser on the homeless people and people in need of food.

Just follow your heart.

-Hannah Taylor

Rick Hansen, he's in a wheelchair, but that didn't stop him to give up on life. He is known as the " Man in motion ". He wanted to be in the Olympics doing physical activities with his legs but at the age of 15 he got into a car accident and got paralysed from the waist down. He began racing in wheelchair marathons. Rick Hansen is a leader because the things he does allows people to believe in themselves.

If enough of us choose to change even one small thing, together we have the power to change anything.

-Rick Hansen

Michel Chikwanine. When he went onto the stage, the things he told, without using his voice, wanted to make me shed into tears. He held us signs, saying..

Sign 1: "Hi my name is Michel. "

Sign 2: "One day, while playing soccer, a group of armed rebels abducted me.

Sign 3: "They took me to their camp"

Sign 4: "And cut my wrists."

Sign 5: " While bleeding, they rubbed gun powder and cocaine on my wounds."

Sign 6: " Then, they made me hold a gun."

Sign 7: " And they yelled."

Sign 8: " shoot! ... SHOOT!

Sign 9: " They made me shoot my best friend."

Sign 10: "His name was Kevin."

Sign 11: "I was forced to be a child soldier."

Sign 12: "I was silenced along with 300 000 other children."

Sign 13: "For children who are silenced by poverty and exploitation."

Sign 14: "I ask you to join me."

Sign 15: " In total silence. Please now all rise. And stand up for those who have no voice."

*everyone gets up, and Michel covers his mouth*

ON NOVEMBER 30,2011 Stand up for children's rights, and join the Vow of Silence. What you basically do is not talk, no phones, no computer, no communication to other people. We stay silent because we stand up for those who have no voice, who aren't aloud to speak for their-selves because they are facing something really difficult in their life.

We Day

We Day is an annual event organized by the charity, Free The Children. The first We Day in Winnipeg happened on November 23, 2011. 16000 people attended this event at the MTS center to celebrate the achievements of those who have made a difference and made the global community better. It was an event the has empowered the youth to be the change they want to see in the world. It was such a huge honor to go to We Day. It was very inspiring and fun. It was one of the most memorable and best experience ever. I will never forget We Day. There were a lot of wonderful and inspiring speakers like, Marc and Craig Kielburger, Spencer West, Michel Chikwanine, Al Gore, Paul Martin, Mia Farrow, Rick Hansen, Hannah Taylor and many, many more. They each told us their "we story" and their experiences of changing the world.

One of the many speakers that really captured my attention was Michel Chikwanine and his story. He told us his "we story" not by speaking but by placards. He is taking "The Vow of Silence" for those who's freedom and rights have been taken away. For the children who's lives are the complete opposite of ours. For the children who's right to an education and childhood is taken away. On November 30, 2011, 24 hours of silence in solidarity with children who are being silenced by poverty and exploitation. Michel is a former child soldier. When Michel Chikwanine was 5 years old, he was kidnapped and drugged. He was given a gun and was forced to kill his own best friend, Kevin.

Spencer West was another speaker. At the age of 5 he lost his legs due to genetic disease. Spencer was bullied and was told he would never be a functioning member of society. He was told it would be impossible to live a normal life, considering he couldn't do something as simple as stand up straight or kick a ball. They were wrong. Spencer is respected, known, valued and loved. He is always standing tall. He overcame the bullying and his disability. He spoke about how he never lost hope and courage.
"Redefine Possible" -Spence West

Another speaker is Rick Hansen. He suffers from spinal cord injury waist down because of a car crash at age 15. He overcame his disability and proved he can achieve his dream. Rick is best known for his Man In Motion World Tour, where he traveled the world in his wheelchair. Rick did not give up on hope, he did many things that anyone can do, including bungee jumping, except he did it in a wheelchair.
"If enough of us choose to change even one small thing, together we have the power to change anything." -Rick Hansen

All the amazing, inspiring, and wonderful speakers at We Day really encouraged all of us to make a difference.

Throughout the day, we kept repeating two words, "WE ARE!!" It was a respond to many questions like, "Who is willing to make a difference?" "who is the change?".
If it wasn't for Craig Kielburger starting the Free The Children campaign and for those who stood with/by him, there wouldn't be a We Day.

WE DAY - THE POWER OF WE

"Never Underestimate the Power of WE"

"We day is more than a one day event. It launches a year long series of actions to better our global community"

"Be the change you want to see in the world" -Gandhi

Big thank you to everyone who helped to make this amazing event possible for us.

We Day

We Day~

Today was the first ever We Day held at Winnipeg in the MTS center. This is a once in a life time experience and opportunity to be able to arrive to this memorable experience, but this isn't the same feeling I have, I bet all people that got to experience this opportunity had the exact same feeling as me. I would also include how the motivational speaker's words, actions, videos, gestures, and emotion moved the whole audience to stop and think about making differences and how lucky we are.

At the MTS center some of the people there that gave passionate speeches were Chief Shawn Atleo, Al Gore, Rick Hansen, Hannah Taylor, Mia Farrow, Spencer West, Michel Chikwanine, and last but not least Marc and Craig Kielburger then main reason everything and everyone is here right now developing and changing the world. But it wasn't just them there were other people.. those people were 16 000 youth of children and teachers and in that 16 000 there were 30 kids from our school chosen and 5 teachers to come as well.

• Spencer West

Spencer West was there to tell us about how no matter who you are you can do anything. Just like how he himself and his parents believed that he can walk without feet. Also that anything can happen to anyone. Next year his friends and himself are going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money to make a difference as well.

• Hannah Taylor

Hannah Taylor is a great is example of Craig, because she was also little when she decided to stand up and take chances to make a difference in the world just by one incident she saw. She made several organizations to help the poor and the people going through starvation.

• Rick Hansen

Rick Hansen was there to help people with spinal cord injuries because of an accident he had that made him paralyzed on the waist down. He made people just like him to stay confident and to continue living your life because there is never an end to anything.

• Michel Chikwanine

Michel Chikwanine was there by communicating with us by using big flash cards saying what he experienced. While he was playing soccer these group of people kidnapped him and cut his wrists and put gun powder and drugs in his wounds. Then they gave him a gun and constantly screeched "SHOOT!" They told him to shoot his one and only best friend and he did... his name was Kevin. After, he was asked to become a child soldier and he couldn't stand up for himself in any way.

 

• Craig and Marc Kielburger

Lastly I would like to talk about the leaders and the beginning of everything created about we day.... Craig and Marc Kielburger. Craig was the same age as us when he decided to make a stand when he read about a boy and how he was murdered for trying to make a difference. Then he told his class to make a stand, then school, then the city, then all of a sudden he got the whole world to participate and make a difference to help people who are less fortunate. They also showed that "No matter the age, or the height you can make a difference."


 

• Vow Of (Silence)

An event coming up is The Vow Of Silence.
This is when people pledge on November 30 that we will not talk, text, and all sort for the whole day, to represent all the children in the world who can not stand up or speak for themselves to protect each other and themselves. They do this because they need money and to help their family. Also how some parents have to make a choice or whether to give their child away for money even for only 5 dollars. So be SILENT for the SILENCED.

Today was the Vow of SILENCE. It went very successful in hallways, classes and even at lunch people have remained silent for the day and that means a lot. Every person that participated donated a dollar or 2. Sometimes I found it hard because it is so tempting to talk, but some people got over it and stayed quiet. The only twink we needed to make was that some people showed weakness and talked even just a bit and broke the vow, but some tried their best on the next time to remain quiet. So thank you to all people who participated, it means a whole lot.

Here's a video of Michel Chikwanine and how silent it was when he was presenting his story and telling us how important it is to attend the vow of silence.

Shh..
