Trust is the KEY

In 5...4...3...2.. I know you seen somehow the world will change for me and be so wonderful.*bell noises*  Its me ya girl back at it again with the class vloggs. We been learning about building trust, and toxic, un toxic relationships. 

Fist we started with our questions of the day which was how do you define the word trust? who/what do you trust? and on a scale from 1-10, how important is trust in a relationship and why? When we circled up to answer these questions most of us said its having someone who you can go to and be vulnerable with. As we continued to answer the questions they said trust is one of the important aspect of a relationship and without it a relationship won't work. 

 Andriod ( how to lose/break trust ) VS. iphone (how to build trust)... questionable metaphore but ya know we are high schoolers so......

The next activity was to identify what builds trust and what breaks trust. When we presented our posters (above) we said that to build trust is to have communication, respect, honesty, and to be supportive. To break trust is to lie, cheat, and being unreliable. The discussions we had after our presentations were very helpful to everyone because we all learned something from each other and how we all deal with these situations that we have had, which leads to the next activity. 

In the last activity it really pressured them to open up with there class mates. The activity was to anonymously write about a relationship were they have lost trust and a different class mate would read it out loud. This part of the lesson was extremely difficult emotionally. The stories that they had in them for a very long time and finally had the chance to let it out and express there emotions. At the end i think that having these kinds of talks really brings us together as a class and they really open your eyes to how similar we all are, we all bring dark stories to this room but we find unity and love within each other.

Also castro went to wrestling senior night and swimming senior night where she walked with francis to the podium to present her for her senior night awards! How Cute!

Until next time,

Whatz them YESS Values N Goals !?

Hey its ya girl Shalayah AGAIN, mentor leader from 7th period. 

We started the week with talking about our values  and different value systems that guide our behaviors and decisions. We did a packet where people chose which values are the most important and least important in their lives. 

We also talked about new year resolutions and long term goals and we wrote down our sphere of influence. 

We got into the topic about relationships - We are officially on Unit 2!!! We got into groups and talked about healthy relationships, and unhealthy relationships. We then discussed our sphere of influence, who is in our lives that we are around every day and who we care about, also who influences us. We played a line game to get our brains going when we were being sleepy at the end of the day too!

 Here are some pics of us ( my class) presenting and being awesome! The talk about introducing relationships was fun, we talked about romantic relationships, relationships with friends, family, school staff, co workers, and other people in our lives. We had fun doing our diagrams together, you could really tell who had been hurt in their past based on how quick they were to answer with not so positive comments about relationship experiences.

 We also had our hippie cirlces and talked about how all of our breaks went and of course they were typical high school teenager things work, A LOT of sleep and studying.
We also played a game called poop smoothie where we got into teams and had to guess what is it someone drew it was a really fun time i think everyone enjoyed.

In between all this mumbo jumbo a senior/mentor Kevin Cruz came and seen me and Ms,castro during lunch from college and it was so heart warming to see him again.

We also created tie dye shirts the next day with our awesome yess shirts created by jeaneth a mentor in period 3!
Another very exciting thing for this new semester is we got new peeeeps!! They were excited about this class and loved the vibe this class gives off to them and i think that has to be the best feeling to get in school ever to be completely honest. First week back and we are already on a role!
