Wonder Day 2.23.15

Before my brother left our house, he always got good scores on his test, like 90% or 100%. And he always earned my parents trust and when I get a good score like 80% or 89%, they would say: do a little better. So one day on a Greek mythology test I kept on saying to myself 90% or 99%, I don't care and my teacher gave me my score. I got 101% (there were extra credit answers) and I showed my parents and they were like "WOW! Matt, that's amazing" and my brother walks in and said: 99% on my math test and I hug my brother and say, "You inspired me to do great on my test. Thanks."

One good change I made was when I started helping with my dogs more. - middle school student

Wonder Day 2.18.15

I'm not exactly sure what to write about because I usually tend to stay away from emotional problems that I have...But eventually I won't be able to run from my emotions anymore. I'm the kind of person who just likes people being happy. The person that helps with other people's emotions. But never my own because I just don't like to. And I get that it's not healthy but it's just A LOT easier. But if anything it's probably how much I care about people. - middle school student

The thing that I like to change is how I study. When I study, I always want to play with something else. I'd like to change because I want to finish my work. - middle school student

Wonder Day 1.30.15

Learn to realize that I have no control of my parent's decision. Whether it's remarriage or moving away. How? To stop worrying about it and trust it's for the best. - middle school student

What I would change is that I want to get better score in my tests. - middle school student

Wonder Day 1.21.15

A thing I would like to change is to try to stop arguing with my parents and not talk back. 

The thing I would like to change is to not argue with my parents and to have a better concept that what they're telling me will help me in life and to understand that what they are saying is to not do bad things and to make right choices. - middle school student

Wonder Day 1.19.15

I would like to change how I don't tell people what my feelings are sometimes and keep to myself and feel sad. I think I could start with telling my family and then when I get comfortable, I can tell other people who are close to me. - middle school student

Wonder Day 1.15.15

One thing I would change - how much I pay attention to people. I need to not ignore people, so to change I will hang out with people more.

One thing I would change about myself would be to not always ignore people. Sometimes I just listen to music and won't talk. Or other times I just zone out and watch the clouds or just one spot on the wall. Sometimes I just throw around a ball. I talk well to family but not so much to other people. Sometimes I feel self-conscious of what others might think of what I say. Or that they will laugh. But I can talk okay to people but I would like to talk better. - middle school student

Wonder Day 1.13.15

Just care about what you think about you, because no one knows as much as you know yourself.

If I could make one positive change I think I would become someone else. I would want to be different. All my life people would always tell me stuff kinda mean about me and they might say it a as a joke but when I look at me I just think they are right. I would want to change the way I react because I take everything too serious and it makes me sad that one day I almost did something I would of regretted and that would have been horrible for the persons I love. - middle school student

Wonder Day 12.16.14

I am a shy person around strangers. It's hard for me to talk to people I don't know. This makes it hard for me to make new friends. I want to be able to talk to people I don't know. I wish that I could have more confidence around strangers.  - middle school student

Wonder Day 12.9.14

Sometimes I wish I could change the way I act towards the people I love. I wish I could stop pushing the people who mean the most to me away. I wish I could stop being so depressing towards my friends. Sometimes I think they don't like me anymore, or they don't want to be my friend because I'm so weird.  - middle school student
