New Model

The thing that stood out to me the most in that video was the Rosa Parks Home. I thought it was great that they created a 'tough love' facility instead of having the lock-down facility. I think this way of facilitating people is more helpful, it has better results in the end. That is what stood out to me the most.

Healing and Change

"People change in two ways-with slow persistent pressure, or with a single and sudden traumatic experience.  That's why people often change so much when they have a near-death experience.  I believe something significant happened to Cole on the island". Edwin



Some of the ways that healing and change can take place in life is with slow persistent pressure, or with a single sudden experience. One goes through the process of healing and change by deciding whether to become a better person or not. I believe it is the choice of the person who is changing. I think it is the same.  Healing and change reflects how your culture reacts to these different things. It depends on your cultures rituals and beliefs.

Totems

I think my totem is a woodpecker because they symbolize sensitivity, protection and devotion. All of these traits are things I think I posses. I am a very sensitive person and I protect my friends and family. I am devoted to many things.
