On Monday we had no school because it was Presidents' Day. On Tuesday, we had a philosophical chair discussion. We talked about delaying gratification, following rules, and being responsible. Period 4A worked lunch music for the week. We also had to dress out to show the classes what to wear. We ended up not going because we took too long. It was sports day. People went to the bathroom just to change, when they just had to put it over their clothes. I changed right infront of my cubby. On Wednesday, I didn't know that we had a blog due the night before because I didn't check Facebook. We had to turn our clothes inside our in advisory. But we didn't go again. I finished my blog that day. On Thursday it was aloha. We wore hawaii clothes. We didn't go again. On Friday it was military. I left early because I had a doctors appointment. We also had to wait outside of the classroom like normal students. Some people weren't delaying gratification because they sat down and waited. Khrizz, petriese, and I were the only ones that stood up the whole time. We said "were not giving up yet". And I'm glad we didn't give up. I only bent down to grab a book out of my bag. When we were finally told to come in, we took steps foward and back. We took steps foward if we accomplished, and stepped back if we failed to do something. I was behind the starting point.
The Hilight of my week was Friday, during homeroom when we had to step foward and step back. It is the Hilight of my week because it made me realize how behind I was. I should really, really stop procastinating. I need to find ways to overcome it. Right now I'm not being a good leader, and this is leadership, so I should really step up and work harder. I need to make time to finish my work.
The lesson learned was to delay gratification. You always get a better reward if you just wait. Might as well not take the reward that you get immediately. And you don't even need a reward for everything you do. Like how we sat down when Mr. Ing said to "stand outside and wait". Everyone but three sat down. I'm glad I didn't sit down. I was delaying gratification.
