Intra-personal( Who would you want to be friends with in Flowers For Algernon. ( Explain Why)

I would want to be friends with Charlie Gordon. He is a friendly person, and is also willing to have friends. Charlie Gordon had an IQ of 68, thus he has no true friends and I would want to be his true friend. I do not like people pretending to be his friend and then make fun of him and hurting him. I would want to be his friend in order to protect him from bullies. I would also want to be like Miss Kinnian , as she is willing to teach Charlie from the heart. Charlie Gordon is a caring person and I feel that he should have more true friends to pick him up whenever he falls. He is also a very hardworking person as he is willing to practise hard and remember everything he had learned. I admire his good points and would also want to learn from him.

Cross Country!

On 24/2/10, it was the annual Cross Country run for HCI, everyone has to run a long distance or either 3km or 4km. It was in the early morning, at around 8am when we started the cross country run. Even the teachers had to run! We were all energized and all ready to start. Before the run, we did our warm up. Our warm up comprises of exercises which really stretch our muscles and get us all ready for the run. When we, Sec 1, started the run, we were all exuberant with smiles all over our faces. While I ran, I conserved precious stamina for later on. In addition, I ran with friends, thus making the run more lively and less boring.

Halfway through the run, I felt my stamina dropping, my legs wobbling. However, I told myself many times not to stop and to keep running on. Upon reaching the last 100metres, the crowd was cheering wildly for me, as I felt a strong urge to sprint at top speed towards the much awaited finish line. As I sprinted, I heard the screams and cheers from the crowd, it was fantastic motivation.

I feel that the school should have more cross country runs in a year, maybe biannually. This is to build up the perseverance in all of us, and the never-give-up attitude. The run was however tiring, but absolutely fruitful and enriching too.
