Service Learning
In tomorrows service learning meeting I plan on going over more ideas on how I plan to help get our school better lunches. I plan on listening to others ideas and and either supporting it or not supporting it. I also plan on trying to get help from my group mates on when we should sell sandwiches but it has to be an available date where there is nothing really going on. These are the things that I plan on doing in tomorrows service learning meeting.

Out side lunch trip
In yesterdays service learning meeting we talked about a numerous amount of things, we talked about the feasibility trip we went on to figure out if it would be a better way to better our school lunch plus see if we are able to get to where we have to go to eat and still make it back to our school in time to get back to class. In doing all that we found that there was not enough time in our schedule to get there and back on time. We also talked about how healthy the food was and the different prices for the food, we also completed a survey on the quality of the food and the highest and the lowest prices for the food. In my personal opinion I think that being as though there is not enough time for us to get there and back, our classes should be lowered bout 10mins because it's just not enough time to do so and the children really want to have better lunch and in order for that to happen classes need to be lowered so that the children can be back to school on time and wont' have to worry about getting in trouble for being a few mins late to class everyday.

Empire of the Sun

EMPIRE OF THE SUN
Empire of the Sun was a movie based on the life of a young boy named Jamie (Jim) who’s life went from being a rich little British boy to a poor boy who gets stuck in Japan during World War II. In this essay I will be following the life of Jamie from the begining to the end.
Before the war Jamie was a rich gentle brat he lived in a mansion that was very beautiful he had all the finest things that he wanted in life fine silverware, clothing, bikes and everything else that he wanted that poorer people did’nt have. He was a brat he took advantage of his nanny he bossed her around and told her things like he had to listen to her because she was his maid, he also road his bike through the house when and whereever he wanted to. Throughout all of the rich and bratness he had he was a gentle little boy he cared for the homeless people alot.
During the war Jamie became very poor frightened and alone after he departed from his mother and father. He had no money, clothes, little food and water. Several days after being away from his family he found his way back to his house and there was no one there he was very hungry he ate cans of non-cooked foods and everything that he could find to support his hunger. He found that the Japanese people were stealing all of their belongings, he got smacked in his face by his ex-Japanese maid I guess that was to get him back for bossing her around all the time. Jamie was scared every time he saw a Japanese soldier he would stop and surrender for no apparent reason, he was all alone he had no parents to love and care for him, tell him what to do or disipline him when he did wrong like other parents would normally do their children. After a few years Jamie lived in many different places traveled to many different places and seen different things he barely had food he would run around doing anything to help people to get himself something to eat, wear, and sleep. During this time he had seen people go through so many different things and he himself had been through a few things such as being lied to, and also cheated. Jamie had one friend or so he thought and his name was Bassie , he was good to Jamie for a while until he became selfish and started caring about himself and forgot all about Jamie. Jamie had stopped trusting people, he became a mature little boy and stopped listening to people and what they told him he was his own man and nobody could stop him.
After the war, Jamie found his way to a place where little children, after years of being away from them, reunited with their parents. When Jamie arrived, he did not see his parents because he did not even know what they looked like. He too had been away from them for a long time. When his mother finally recognized him, she was very pleased and very happy. Jamie was still a little confused. He had to think about what his mother looked like, and he had to think back to what she felt like. By the time they recognized each other, they were very excited and happy. They hugged very tightly, as if they had been apart for a lifetime. He did the same to his father, who had walked right by him earlier, but didn’t recognize him either. By the end of the day, Jamie was back to his old self, and back to being a wealthy little boy again.
Inconclusion, This was the life of a little boy who was left in the wrong place at the wrong time and in the end became a man.

They also talked about letting Mrs Thompson know that they did not want her on the committiee because she did not want to listen to what they were saying. That is all that they talked about to my knowledge of what my group member told me.

SERVICE LEARNING REFLECTION
I am with the Nutrition Group for Service Learning, On friday’s meeting we talked about what our school needed to improve our schools lunch. Our group leaders were Anntoinette Marks, Derelle Ivery, and Micheal Lee, they proposed a eating healthy survey that they thought would be a good idea for the students to have. They allowed us to put our input and several kids had mostly the same ideas on the food thing. Our group leaders asked us to do some research to find what organizations would help us with making our school lunch better and healthy at the same time. Overall the meeting was good because everybody had input which allowed kids to get involved in the activity. What we need to improve is the research we need to find better research because we did’nt have enough. The meeting was very great and to the point.

CRASH!!!!!
On September 9, 1938 at approximately 3:oo am 3 teenagers were found on the side of 31st and Indiana Road in a car that had been crashed dead into a tree. The driver looked to be a male about 18yrs old, a female in her teens and another male in his teens. As police and reporters gathered around the scene they found beer bottles in the back seat of the car along with a bottle of Rum, and Vodka. Police have stated that this was a case of teen drinking and driving, As police carried the bodies out of the smashed car parents and young teens gathered around watching as the three bodies were sadly put into the ambulance truck. Reporters and police urge parents not to let their children drive their cars on late nights out to parties where they know there will be drinking invloved. Police also say that laws should be inforced where teens are not allowed to drive after a certain amount of time or there will be fines involved.
