In health we have been working on diversity. I have been working with Addyson and we choose 2 topics. One of them are teenage brain development and the other one is effects of gaming on the mind & body. We choose brain development and we had to choose something to create.
I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 9 and in 2021 I will be a year 10. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

Essay - Social Sustainability
Social Sustainability (LGBTQ+)
Social Sustainability comes up a lot especially with the LGBTQ+ community. I’m here to provide you with information so you can support this community and not be so anti about it. Were all human and were all different.
If you consider yourself a part of the LGBTQ+ then you might think you have a different identity to others, and people consider this as a problem. What actually shapes your identity is passions, it could be what you're into and what you like doing. Some things that could shape your identity is the experiences you have, the people you hang out with, places you go to, the music you listen to and the type of conversations you have with people.
What is gender? There is no specific way to define yourself and what gender you are, you choose what you want to be. When you are born that is your sex which could be Male, Female or bigender. As you grow up you might experience a mood or mindset where you feel different and this is where the full LGBTQ+ community comes in.
Being LGBTQ+ can have massive effects on career choices and availability. Some managers won’t hire a person who is LGBTQ+. This affects our economy, if we don’t have people working then not as much money is spent. If the economy collapses then riots may become more frequent and crime has a chance to rise. That could cause harmful gasses to be released or cause more items to be broken meaning we need more resources to recreate them. People could get hurt, if that happened we would need to use resources to help heal and relieve these people of the pain.
I therefore come to the conclusion that the LGBTQ+ community doesn’t define who you are, you're just different in your own unique way. It is definitely okay to be different and doesn’t matter if you're a part of that community or not.

Heart Disection - 9hur2
What have we been learning about? / We have been learning about the heart and how it pumps our blood and how it helps us function.
Why are we dissecting heart? / To see what it's like on the inside and get a clear vision of something in real life instead of diagrams and drawings.
What are the parts of the heart? Did you see them? / Heart strings, Valves, Aorta, Ventricle, Arteries and we discovered the difference between the left and right side.
Did you enjoy the dissection? Why/why not? / Yes I enjoyed this and I think we should do it more often. I was super into the dissection because I'm really into science and the human/animals body.
What makes a good leader
What makes a good leader?
To make a good leader you need to have some good confidence, with that you need to be able to talk to a crowd or people that are different ages and make it clear what your saying. Some examples of good leaders could be some teachers or people that run a business or even Jacinda Arden. For good leaders you have to have bravery, being brave means that you just do what you got to do and get on to it. Be reliable, if your reliable that means people can trust to rely on you for certain things. Show that you are empathetic and you have feelings towards others. You got to be a kind respectful person that shows kindness towards others so they could look up to you. Just be honest, honesty is key it just makes your more trust worthy. Have integrity if you fail just get back up again you will still be learning so it doesn't matter if you don't get a couple words right or anything.
Thinking about this how good do you think your leader skills could be?
