#17 Creating awarness of We

Redefinition of Happiness
I think this is the easiest way to think We. That believing that what you have does not make up the person you are and we are all special in our own way. No matter what job your parents have, where you live, or how much money you have. We are not that much different everyone has similarities and everyone has differences it how you except other are how you will be able to think we and not me.

#21 Lions and tigers and zebras...oh my...

Zebra
These lesson show that one person is no match for a bunch of people. If you stick together then you will be more likely to achieve your goals then if you’re on your own. This is shown when the scientists put the spots on the zebra and the lions would pick out the ones with spots because they can distinguish between one zebra and another. But when all huddled in a group it is hard to tell where one zebra ends and another starts.

#20 Three more Me to We heros (kim)

Kim Story
I think Kim story is the most moving because she never gave up at the start not many people were interested in the idea to stop child labor. So she researched more and became more knowledgably on the subject. To get 6000 signature is a huge accomplishment and to get the media coverage to inform other about child labor I think she is just awesome for doing that.

#16 Back to the Book

Rain in Kenya
I think this is so funny that in North America when it rains people always run for cover but in Kenya where they do not have a lot of possessions. When it rains they celebrate and dance in the rain. I like how these people can get so much excitement from something as simple as rain. It just goes to show how we take a lot of what we have for granite and for the people in Kenya and Ecuador they are always happy and rejoice in something as simple as rain.

#13 the Roseto Mystery

I think that the people in this little town are unbelieveable. I think its crazy to see that there is no evidence of health problems, whether its hereditary or dietary. For me the main reason behind these people not having any health problems is they are happy and have little to no stress in their lives. The people of this town are clearly looking at life in a positive way and not negatively. Being negative can increase your stress and could lead to further damage or not doing things right. Having too much stress can lead you down the wrong path and not being able to get a positive outlook on life.

#22 Belonging

Other then family i would have to say the group that i feel most connected to is my volleyball team. This is because we are always together when the season is on. We got each others backs on and off the court. As well we know each others strengths and weaknesses and would be there for each other no matter what it was. I feel the most comfortable with this bunch of girls because we have grown such a bond that we aren't called a team but a bunch of sisters. Being apart of this group of girls has really shown me what its really like to belong no matter what your differences are. I will always carry on the advice i've gained from them and the relationships i've made. Another group that always has your back no matter what in my life is my group of girl friends. It seems like no matter where, time or problem you have they would be there in a heart beat. These two groups make me a stronger person and get me through the hard times.
