I can honestly say that i have never been mean to a mentally challenged person, nor have i witnessed these terrible acts, but if I were to witness something like this then I would stand up for that person because I believe that picking on a handicapped person is lame and whoever is doing it is lame and I will not be apart of any lameness, and I also will not stand by and do nothing about it either, because that would be so lame.
 * Have youy ever been ugly to someone who is mentally challenged? Why did you do it and how did it make you feel? If not, have you ever witnessed someone doing this? Did you intervene? How did your actions make you feel?

This goal-setting worksheet will help you define what’s important to you. In the sixth grade I signed up for a chorus class, but the instructor wasn t really good at his job. All we did was sing stupid Disney songs and watch movies. I enjoyed the class for the freedom but I didn t get to learn much about singing. The best part of the class was our end of the year project. Our assignment was to perform in the World Tour Expo. We were awesome in the show, I got an A+! Our instructor was so terrible at his job that they fired him. The next year I didn t take chorus because I didn t want to waste another year of singing Disney songs. Throughout my seventh grade years I was hearing rumors about this great new chorus teacher, they were saying that they were actually learning how to hit the extremely high and low notes. I was bewildered by this information. The next year I signed up for chorus and the instructor was fantastic, he was everything that they said he was; passionate about his job, caring towards his students, and he actually taught how to sing better than we thought we could. After graduating from junior high, I thought that I would never find another chorus teacher as good as my eight grade teacher, but I was in for an awesome surprise. My first day of Southeast High School I met my new chorus teacher, he was tall, lanky, and he looked like a nerd. This guy didn t look like he could sing a lick, but when class started he began to instruct us on how to breathe while singing, he had the most beautiful voice that I had heard in a long time. He coached me and got my voice to its peak singing perfection. I was so thankful, but I received news that he wasn t going to teach chorus at Southeast any more so I dropped my chorus class for the next semester. I was about ready to give up singing all together but I heard the new chorus teacher was doing a good job so next year I plan on taking up chorus class again. All my teachers have made some sort of impact in my life and hopefully when I get famous I will remember to thank them for their contributions. Music is all I know. Music is me. ||

 * All my life I have always enjoyed singing. I sing myself to sleep and I sing myself awake. My singing gets really intense when I m in the shower; I drive my family insane with it. When I was in third I was really shy so I didn t participate in the chorus program at my school, I just focused more on running track. I didn t want to run track but my sister ran track many years before me, so I was just following in her footsteps, but running was not my passion. When I got promoted to the fourth grade I used to visit my third grade teacher a lot, she was my favorite teacher and she always gave me good advice. On my tenth birthday she threw a small party in her class room for me. During the party she sat me down and asked me if I enjoyed running. I lied and said yes, I asked her why she asked me that and she said that she attended all my track meets and I didn t seem like I was enjoying myself. That day she urged me to do what I really wanted to do and instructed me not to let anyone stand in the way of that. The following week I went on the morning announcements and debuted my singing skills. The whole school was shocked and I never stopped singing since.
