Reading Response: 

  I think Billy apologized to the tree is because he felt sorry to cut the tree down. Because if he doesn't cut the tree then it could alive longer, even though he doesn't want to cut the tree down but he needs to is because the raccoon was on the tree, and he want to kill that raccoon. Also maybe that tree had been live with him for many years, and he just cut it down he might feel sad as well. The tree is also a living entity, he might think he just killed something so he is really sorry about that. But on another hand, he doesn't have any choice other than cut the tree down, because the raccoon is on the tree and he needs to train his dog to catch the raccoon, so he must cut the tree down then lets his dog catch the raccoon. He is sorry for cutting the tree down but other than this he has no choice.



Reflective Response:

  For me, I think the most important choice I have made was going to an international school. And it happened in 2017 when I was in 6th grade. Before that, I used to studied at a public school, and I had never thought about going to an international school. When my parents first told me that, I completely disagreed with it because I have so many friends at my public school, and I have been spending 5 years with them. I'm pretty sure I will miss them if I move to a new school. A school that full of people I don't know. Which means I need to adapt to a new environment again, to make new friends I'm kind of scared is because my English was not that well back then, so I disagreed with my parents idea. But however I still went there, the first day was completely confused for me because I need to speak English and walk to the other class (in public school we don't need to change classroom to take a different classes  ) but the greatest thing was the students and teacher were really nice there, and I had made a lot of new friends at the first day!  I studied there for three years, and I had a really great time at that school. I learned so many things and I had known many different ways to learn. I think I decided  to go to an international school is a great choice, it does change my life in some way.
