Reflection

I think the successful things that we did for PBL is that we passed all the disablers that came along our way and we learn new things which are the purpose of the project. We also achieved our goal to help the victims of domestic violence and we gained friendship. The unsuccessful the thing that we did is that when we presented our presentation we lacked confidence. Some of my groupmates giggled while talking in front and I also stuttered. Maybe the reason why we did these kinds of stuff while we are presenting is that we are not that inspired and dedicated to doing it.

Being happy while doing this PBL, to complete the checkpoints, to communicate and help each other, to help the people who are suffering from domestic violence, and to inform students in our school about the awareness to domestic violence are our goals in PBL.Oh! To perform in the auditorium is also our goal. All of the goals are achieved except to the last one which is to perform in the auditorium. They didn’t pick us to present to the auditorium because our presentation lacked so many things but we accepted it already. We just planted in our mind that we will do our best next time.

Being able to motivate others is the best personal action that I did to improve others.Motivating others gave me satisfaction and happiness. And one of my biggest motivation that I say is that dream big.Doesn’t mean you dream big is you will achieve it easily but dream big because you the right to dream and you will be reaching it just yourself.If you fail, then you fail but use it a stepping stair for your dreams.

If I would be given a chance to do differently, I would be more creative, confident, increase my willpower to do things and observe more. I would be more creative to build more ideas. Increase my willpower to do things for me to continue more what ideas I would like to build and observe more because observing helps me to be motivated.

Put action to words!

We're heading to our second action which to contact the women's refuge to ask for help about this project we are proposing and to give a small amount of donation for those victims of domestic violence. We first emailed them and we waited for days to see if they will reply to us but they did not which appeared to be the disabler of this action.

We're about to email them again but we thought that it will not be professional for us to do that so we still waited. When the time came that we are losing hope that they will respond to us, we went to their website get their contact details and decided to contact them.


So my groupmate Lahtia was the one who talked to them and finally, they agreed to our proposal which is we asked if they can speak here in our school Hornby High and to give also our donations. What enabled us is that we tried out to reached them not just once but twice which led us to finish the task,

Reflection: Give it a try not just once but twice because you may not know that your second time will be your chance to get the prize so don't give up until you achieve it.

Put action to words!

So our third and last plan are to do our fundraising which is carwash and let now the school be aware of domestic violence. We did the carwash at the Hornby Primary and it took us 3 hours to clean 12 cars that day.It was fun but super tiring to the point that I thought I'm going sick but fortunately, I did not. Before we did the carwash, we gathered first our equipment which is a long process and one the disablers of this action. Walking around the school again searching for the person and the equipment.

While we are doing the carwash, we had fun and gained a new skill. I was assigned to do the tires and it is one of the hard parts of the car. So if you will calculate it 4 wheels each car and there are 12 cars in the total of 48 wheels that I cleaned................. and yeah it was so super tiring. We were like wet chicks after we finished it. But the thing here is that we enjoyed and it is worth working for because we've been paid $60 and the money goes to the victims of domestic violence which is the goal of this project.

Yeah 48 of these

We got to handle this because of the people who helped us with kind heart and I would like to thank all the teachers who helped us especially Miss Tahooey, it was a pleasure to receive a kind heart from them and they are the one who enabled us to make the work done.

After that tiring day, we now inform students in Hornby High School. Women Refuge Janine came to our school and told us what does this organization is all about. We are so thankful for her not because she responds to us but she let us complete this project and we got to informed other students about domestic violence,  they truly have a kind heart.

We hope that our small help will reach the victims. We should still hold into our mind that "Nobody deserves to be hurt" and give hearts to those who are hurt.

Put action to words!

So our first action was to ask permission for us to allow to go outside for our fundraising which is carwash. We encountered a disabler when processing this action, like when we can't find the teachers we needed and also when the printing of the form that we're going to fill out was refused to print because there was a many line-ups of reports. Hence, we need to walk and walk until we find the person we needed and to inform our PBL teacher that our form was not printed.

For us not to get the hard searching person we are looking for, we decided to ask the other teachers if they know where is the exact person we are looking for. The form that we will fill up got to be printed with the help of Mr. Stock.

These pictures here are the form that we filled out.

Overall, our first action had a good outcome. We got to ask for help and they responded with a kind hand and that is what enabled us to complete our first action.

For my reflection in this action is that asking for help is important especially at the times you can't handle it anymore and being shy to ask is not a good thing for you because getting a help from others feels like not you're not alone in this task.
