Today is March 10th and it is the 6th day of my intersession Operation Peace Love and Harmony. Today is our last day of field trips and we are going to Gompers middle school. The first thing we did was make binders for the kids in Gompers as a gift when we get there.
When we got there we first went to the library so a teacher named pete and some asb students would go over some of the history of Gompers middle. We saw videos of the changes the school was making over time. Five years ago Gompers asked the school district if they could become a charter school. they declined and fired the best principal the school has had named Vincent Riveroll. After this incident there was a girl in the 9th grade that stood in front of the whole school district to convince them to hire back Mr. Riveroll and to make the school charter.... and it worked thats when the the plan no child left behind was organized.
Next we went into a 6th grade class to see how the teacher teaches and we ate lunch with the students then played soccer with them. of course they won but only by a point so we did pretty good. next we made two huge sign that have both our schoold names and we left little notes to one another. that was our day

Today is Wedsday March 5 2008 and its the third day of interssetion. Today we went to the lgbt center at hillcrest and heard a lesbian woman named Carolina talk to us.
She taught us about a lot of diifrent issues and things about lesbians gays, transgenders and bisexuals.She made it fun and interesting to learn about theese sort of things. like once she asked Mr. Wagner if he could share about his first date then say it again but with out the pronouns(he, she)and explained that thats how homosexuals feel when they want to share something.
After we left the center we ate lunch at balboa park.That was also very "interesting". Ha we had a rolling contest down the hill it was pretty fun.
Next we went to talk to a guy named bill so he can organise how we were going to deliver meals to aids victims. after we figured out where we were going we drove around houses to deliver food.So it was a cool day
Thanks Mr. Wagner

Op. Peace, Love, and Harmony- March 4th- 2nd Day
This is the second day of interssetion and it is the first day we go out on a field trip. It is March 4 2008. Half the class is going to the landfill and the other half is going to Saint Vincents de Pauls homeless shelter.
When we got to the shelter a woman named Rosaline took us on a tour from the meeting rooms to the bed rooms. i learned a lot from this experience because i learned that a lot of homeless people look just like any other humans, yes some are dirty but only because they dont have a place like Saint Vincents that have showers and beds its not like they choose this.
By the time the tour ended i had a diffrent opinion about poverty/homelessnes. This field trip was really impacting and not only for me but a lot of my classmates also.
When we left Saint Vincent's we went around downtown and handed out lunches that we made that morning to homeless people on the streets. I think this part of the day was my favorite part because the gratitide people had and the hapiness that showed on there faces when we offered them a blanket and a lunch was incredible. It was a real joy to get to do something like this that probably made someones day and it only took less than half an hour out of mine.

Op. Peace, Love, and Harmony- March 3rd-1st day
Today is the first day of intersession. My interssetion is called Oparation Peace, Love, and Harmony. The purpose for this intersettion is to try and help other less fortunate people and make a diffrence in the world. we have groups of three and every group focuses on a diffrent cause. the causes are: lgbt rights
aids and diaseses
child and domestic abuse
homelessnes
immagration and more
Today is March 3rd. In the morning we had a woman named Kaitlin come in and talk to us about non- profit organizations. She also told us about her job and how she helps the community. I actually learned a lot of things I didn’t know like that people that work in non- profit organizations do get a salary and I also learned a lot of other stuff.
After lunch we had another speaker come in from the zoo. His name was Dan and he talked to us about the plant life in the zoo and how much animals eat and how the fires have affected the plant life. It really changed my view on the zoo because when I thought of the zoo I think of the animals but now I also think about the plants and the entire environment around the zoo.
