Reflection

=__**Reflection:**__=

__**What was our task?**__ Our task was to help someone or something every single day for 17 days and record what we did that day on our provided wikispace blog.

__**What was it's purpose?**__ The main purpose of our 17 days to make a difference was to make a difference and help the people around us in our community. Example, our family, our friends or perhaps our neighbors.

__**How did you feel about 17 days to make a difference and why?**__ I think the 17 days to make a difference was really fun. Even though we had to do a lot of work, it was fun to see the happy smile on the people who you helped. The best part of it had to be when we know that, for a fact, we had helped the people around us whether that had already helped us before or not. It might be a lot of work, but it was really fun since it is different to our other types of homework.

__**How much effort out of 10 did you make?**__ I will say the effort I gave in would be 9 out of 10. I did work really hard on my 17 days to make a difference and I always kept it updated to the newest date. But I am very sure that if I try to think of more different things and other people to help for my 17 days to make a difference, I will give myself a 10. But I have just been so busy through out the year with all my other homework, I couldn't do that. But the main thing is that I did do the best I could at that time, it just wasn't the best effort I could have given compared to all my other homework.

__**What did you learn about citizenship about doing 17 days to make a difference?**__ I learned that it is good to help other people. And not just the people in your family, your friends or the people you know. Even if you help other people who live around you that you don't even know, they will still thank you for it.

__**If you did 17 days to make a difference again, what would you do differently?**__ If I had to do 17 days to make a difference again, I will definitely spend more time thinking about the different things that I could help instead of doing some of the same things over and over again. I could also try and help other people as well other than my family and my friends, then I //might// even be able to meet some new friends.

__**How will you apply what you've learnt in the future?**__ I will always help my family when I can like I did when I was doing my 17 days to make a difference. And if I manage to keep doing that, it will become a habit and I wouldn't need to think about helping people, I will just do it straight away.
