The year is coming to an end. Soon, you'll start your new year in a new class. But, before you move on to the exciting 2009, do take some time to reflect on 2008. What are some of the happy moments? What are some things you have done or said that you wish you never had? Who are the people who have made a difference in your life this year? More importantly, whose life have you touched?
Here's a video that someone shared with me and I'd like to share it with you. It helps me to think about who I really am and what I want in life. How about you?
Lyrics - "Reflections" taken from the movie Mulan (part of the song)
Look at me. I will never pass for a perfect bride or a perfect daughter. Can it be, I’m not meant to play this part? Now I see, if I were truly to be myself, I will break my family’s heart.
Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection someone I don’t know?
Somehow I cannot hide, Who I am, though I’ve tried. When will my reflection show who I am, inside? When will my reflection show who I am, inside?
You've watched Homerun earlier and I can see from your reactions during the show that it has made you both happy and sad. Below are some questions that I want you to discuss with your partner and post your answers as a response to this blog entry.
(1) How is friendship demonstrated in the movie? (2) Who are the characters you like/dislike. Why? (3) What are some things in life that you have taken for granted and what can you now do to better appreciate what you have?
