Reflection of Who We Are

Beliefs and Values:
I believe that personal iteams, thoughts special objects, nature of self, race religion, points of view, passion for something, and opinions are beliefs and values. My beliefs and values are family, friends, school, and my religion. I believe that Jesus was in the desert for 40 days without any food and water. Those were my beliefs and values.

Personal Health:
Personal health is selfesteam, confidence, happiness, if you are balanced, your stisfaction with life, and safety. I think I am personally healthy, I havea great life, parents that care for me, good friends and i have confidence in myself.  Personal health is important because if you weren't personally healthy you would not have a loving family, and you would probobly be depressed all the time.That would affect youre social health and life meaning you would not have a lot of friends.

Social Health: 
Social health is where you have friends, you're outgoing, how
you present yourself, if you're positive,apologizing, and forgiving. That is what a person that is socially healthy. Being socially healthy is important too. If someone is not socially healthy, they do not have many friends, do not present themselves appropiatly, and do not take care of their body. All of those are ways you can tell if someone is socially healthy or not.

Physical Health:
Muscular, if you are fit or not, how you look like, if you are balanced, active, and if you have a lot of stamina. Those are all of what I think physical  health is. Being physically healthy means you rarely get sick, and you could play the positions you want to play in sports.  You would get more friends if you are physically healthy and best of all you would feel great about your body condition all the time.

Mental Health: 
Happiness, depression, if you are balanced, how youre brain works, youre feelings, opinions, and organization is what I think mental health is. If you are mentally healthy you have friends, you feel comfortable in life, you are not crazy, and other people will like being around you. If you are not mentally healthy all the opposite of those things will happen.

What it meansto be Human:
Life, love, dislike, responsibility, rights, history, friends, family, peace, civilization, and following your dreams is what it means to be human. I think life is a gift that everyone should treasure and hold on to. I feel that my lfe is great but some others do not. Some people feel that since that they no family, they do not want to live. Peace is what is what I believe what it means to be human.

Responsibility
Maturity, ability to do things on your own, helping people, PYP attitudes, and helping the earth. That is what responsibility is. Having responsibility means peoplecan rely and depend on you. It is important to be responsible because when you are older and you have kids you will need to be responsible to take care of them.    

My Story

My Story: The Great Ball
By: Wilson Sheaffer
When I got the ball that day, I was so happy.  That is the day I am going to tell you about.
It was during the summer of 2010 when my mom, my dad, Max, Tucker, Rush, John, and I went to the  baseball Hall of Fame.  We saw lots of the greatest ballplayers golden plaques.  It was so exiting! 
  At the end of the tour, we decided to go to the gift shop. Max, running around the gift shop like he was crazy, found MLB         Hall of Fame t-shirts. He convinced my mom to buy one for all of us.  John, just browsing everything, bought a New York Yankees flatbill hat. Me, on the other hand, found something amazing, a ball autographed by all the Yankees.  It was not a copy the signatures were real and to prove it, it came with a certificate stating that it was real.
I tried to convince my mom to buy it for me but she wouldn’t. My dad bought it for me without a doubt.  When I got home, I showed it off to everyone I knew.  They were all very jealous of me and acted glum because they didn’t have one.
Till this day, I still have the ball and every morning when I wake up I see the ball and remember that very day, and how my dad showed how he loved me by paying a lot of money for that one little ball.
