I specifically started thinking about my brother. We have a really close family so having one brother he's extremely important to me. I've often told him that he's made me the person that I am, mostly because if I was an only child I would have been intolerable. This is what a particular thing is about, something that makes you unique. It builds your character. Just as all of the flashbacks build the character of Joe.

Portfolio
Quick question, does our portfolios have to follow the order given in the back of the handout we were given?
It goes,
Cover,
table of contents,
introduction letter,
resume
letters of recommendation
life skills and exhibits,
academic skills and exhibits
miscellaneous.
I have mine in a different order, and I was hoping I could keep it that way,
I don't want to redo pages of information to match what I'm trying to say.

Each Has A Story...
Opinions are beautiful things; they let us express ourself and our stands on issues. It certainly seems like we're exercising our opinions quite frequently in this class! And yesterday's discussion on honor was a perfect example.
I agree with most people that we have different ways of describing what honor is. To me, receiving honor is to be recognized for your actions. Whether those actions be academic (honor roll), military, community (awards for service), or otherwise, being honored for something means you did something that others feel was good for society. One memory of being honored was at a middle school science fair. I received an honorable mention award for my project. It said to me: You did a good job on this project and we appreciate you coming out and presenting it to the community. Being honorable doesn't always mean putting your life down for your country or others (which is most definitly honorable), it can be as simple as recognition at a science fair.
I haven't had many interactions with honor. What I do know is that it can be bestowed upon different types of people and circumstances. This is just my vision of what honor is to me, part of my opinion. If we all put our opinions together without critisism, we could make a beauiful mosaic of opinions and people!
