Synergy Places
- Nature Synergy- There are acres of beautiful trees, flowers, and animals.
- School Synergy- I have the privilege of being able to go to school, be with friends & have enough school supplies.
- Family Synergy- I have a big, caring, & loving family.
- Community/Church- I live in a safe environment.
- Work- I don't have a job yet but I do have a summer job & occasionally I babysit. I have the privilege/right to work.
Synergy/Diversity
- Shunners Diversity- I've seen & experienced people like this in school especially in elementary & middle school. Usually when I switched schools kids underestimated me & thought id be an easy target until I opened my mouth & then I saw just how vulnerable they were which is how vulnerable they thought I was. But the main point of this is just to say that most people who try to make people feel bad about themselves are usually the ones that are trying to cover up their insecurity.
- Tolerators Diversity- I see this a lot it sort of describes my sister. Shes not really mean to somebody for no reason & she mainly keeps to herself.
- Celebrators Diversity- I have not really seen this diversity & if I have its become very hard to recognize/remember.

Week 5
Journal Entry #15:
Think Bout your general attitude toward life. Is it based on Win-Lose, Lose-Win, Lose-Lose, or Win-Win thinking/ How is that attitude affecting you?
My general attitude toward life is sometimes Win-Lose but depending on how mad I am it can be Lose-Lose. The Win-Lose I think affects me in somewhat of a negative way im not sure it depends on the situation. But the Lose-Lose of course is negative because I still lose but misery loves company & when I lose I don't like to be alone. Once again it depends on the situation.
Journal #16: Summarize The Tumor Twins.
Journal #17: Describe a Win-Win situation in your life.
I could apply Win-Win to school. I could start thinking of ways that would improve my learning & study habits. Also instead of thinking that everyday at school will be a bad one I could be more optimistic about it. Lastly instead of thinking that im going to fail a test I could just say to myself that I studied, im going to try my best & everything's going to be ok.
