"You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have"
This quote inspired me because I'm not a creative person, but when I think of a creative idea, I somehow manage to think of more, without really running out of ideas. I'm in art class, so I constantly have to come up with creative ideas for my projects. I think that over time it's made me more creative. I guess it's true that if you don't use your brain, it will get lazy over time. Being creative has always been hard for me, but now it's becoming a lot easier. I actually let the ideas flow now, in contrast to when I just stopped thinking when I thought I was out of logical ideas.

Creativity is the Answer to Every Problem!
“Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything.” — George Lois
This
quote inspired me because it shows what creativity can really do. No matter
what the problem is, a little creativity is all you need to figure out how to
solve it! This quote shows that creativity is not just being able to create beautiful
pieces of art, but it also shows being able to think and analyze situations in
a creative way.
Creativity
I chose this quote because it attaches to creativity and it looks like a real meaning of creativity to me. For example, if you have a bad mark on a test, you learn from your mistakes. This quote is saying that if people had got a lower mark on their assignments, they can learn new things from other people and peers, what they have to improve on. It doesn't matter how perfect you are because people have different ideas by their own mind or different answers for their project. Well if you're not really smart just because people would make fun of you or thinking that you failed a assignment but you can have different imagination and ideas also you are having fun to fix your mistakes but you have to work hard on things that you're struggling with.
Nothing is impossible the world itself says im possible
to me this quote is saying that you can really do anything that nothing is to big to accomplish and by the part that it says the world itself says Im possible to me that means that you are here today and that you are living life and having fun!!!. And also it means that you may be stubborn or not so nice all the time but if to me maybe if people can handle you they can handle the impossible that people might think know one can do.

Creativity
I chose this picture because it connects to the idea of creativity completely. Like the video "Oblivious to You. Amazing to Others", this picture states that ideas you think are boring, plain and copied are usually actually unique, amazing and original (unless you copied an idea completely). This means that something you don't think is as creative can be the next best thing, as long as you believe.

MUN Rhymes with Fun
A couple Mars days ago, I went to Earth on my flying saucer to go to school with the aliens on Earth for an Earth day, which the aliens on Earth called Friday, for the very first time ever. The people of Mars often visit the aliens on Earth. When I reached Earth, in one Mars hour, I was so surprised with what the aliens from Earth looked like. Some of them had brown skin, others had tan skin, and still others had white skin, unlike the people of Mars, who had different shades of green skin. I thought the aliens from Earth would have purple, blue, pink, orange, or green hair like us, but it turned out that most of them had brown, black, yellow, or red hair. I felt a bit out of place with my lime green skin and bright purple hair, but the aliens from Earth were very friendly and made me feel very welcome.
A few aliens with black hair asked me if I wanted to go to the Model United Nations club at 11:10 and at 2:45. I didn't know what that was about, but I decided to go there anyways. They led me to a classroom on the second floor of the school. The executive MUN members explained to me that MUN was a simulation of the United Nations, which is an organization made up of most of the countries on Earth. Each member of the MUN gets to choose to be the delegation of any country on Earth and then debate about global issues. Some of the most prominent countries were named Russia, USA, and China, which the people of Mars knew about. Those choices were taken almost immediately. Other delegates chose countries that I've never even heard of, like Liechtenstein, Senegal, and Nigeria. The delegate were all in groups of two, with placards with the name of the country they were representing written on them. The executive members gave the delegates the topic "Human Organ Trafficking," and allowed them around ten Earth minutes to do some research. I also had to participate, so I chose to be the delegation of Germany along with a girl with black hair. I didn't know much about Germany, so I did some research on Germany and human organ trafficking. Apparently there was an extreme shortage of available donor organs in Germany, but the laws against human organ trafficking were still strictly enforced. When the time was up, the delegates who wished to speak were put on the speakers list. The delegations of Russia and USA spoke a lot, probably because they were representing two of the most prominent countries on Earth. I noticed though, that at times, some delegates would attack the delegate instead of the argument. The delegates were all beginners though, so no one said very much about their mistakes. In the beginning, I was too shy to raise my placard and speak, but towards the end, I spoke twice; once to point out that there was an extreme shortage of donor organs in Germany, and that the laws for organ trafficking should be strict nevertheless. The second time, I rebutted a country named Switzerland's argument. I don't know how well I presented my points, but an executive member told me that I had some pretty good points. I immediately decided that the next time I came back to Earth, which would be a week later, I wanted to go to MUN again.
In my opinion, pretty much everything about MUN was great; from the activities, to the members. I honestly think that there is nothing about the club that needs some improvement. I have a week until I go to MUN again, so meanwhile, why not do some research on some of Earth's countries?

The FHMUN Report
FHMUN
REPORT
I
have been wondering about the Fraser Heights Model United Nations club so I
decided to interview a new delegate of the MUN club:
Qiyang:
What is MUN?
New
delegate: MUN lets you experience being a United Nations member. In a way, it
is a bit like debate. In MUN, you get to solve issues within a specific
committee.
Qiyang:
When is it?
New
delegate: The meetings are every Friday at lunch and after school in room 214.
The FHMUN conference is on November 1st and 2nd.
Qiyang:
What do you do in MUN?
New
delegate: You get to learn the rules and procedures, and you get to practice
speaking in front of other MUN members. You get to vote and negotiate with
other countries.
Qiyang:
Why did you join this club?
New
delegate: I joined MUN because it is a great learning experience, and it can
improve my public speaking skills. It is also a great way of meeting new people,
and the club is very interesting. I also get to learn more about the countries
and the issues occurring in the world.
Qiyang:
Would you recommend others to join MUN?
New
delegate: Yes, I would recommend this to people who would like to learn more
about the world and to people who would like to experience being a United
Nations member. I am looking forward to the conference on November 1st and 2nd, and I am hoping to see a lot of other delegates there!
My meeting with the soccer club meeting.by Navroop Gill as a reporter
I had an experience with going to a soccer team meeting for the boys soccer which I heard from my friend that it would be right after lunch. So as I was going to the meeting I saw my friend phillip come also and I asked me if the meeting was in the small gym and phillip said I think so and then my friend Anthony came and asked us if the meeting was in the small gym and we said yes and as we went into the small gym there there werew groups of grade 10 11 and 12s there and no grade 8s so we just sat down on the bench and then a minute later some teacher came in and told us about the team that one team would be grade 8 9 10 11 and 12s for one team so us were just like what!!!!! and then he told us that the tryouts will be on the grass field and that there will be a signup sheet when you get there and that it would be at 3:15 and that we should be there at 3:00 then he said that everybody could leave thank you for listening and all then we left. And I would suggest that anybody really who likes sports doesn't have to really have to be soccer he just told us to tryout and have fun even if you have never played before so I would recommend this to anyone just to tryout and have fun at the tryouts even if youre not good I would say that for all the guys who like sportseven if youre not even good at this particular sport because you will probably maybe even be good at in the first try. My friends also decided not to tryout for the team because they felt like they wouldn't have a chance of making it so I think that this sport team is great but they should make teams of one grade 8 team 9 10 11 and 12so that every body would have a fair chance of making the team.

LEO Club
LEO
Club
Reporter Mai from the DAILY JAZZY JAS:
At Fraser Heights Secondary, I have found a club who call
themselves the “LEO Club”. This revealed itself to stand for the “Leadership,
Experience and Opportunity Club”. The LEO club is a miniature version of the International
LIONS club. These members volunteer their time to help their community and
support charities, by fundraisers, publicity and other fun activities. This
year, the Leo club is supporting the LINK (Liberty in North Korea) and Covenant
House (Homeless Youth). Volunteer hours are also presented as a small ‘thank
you’ for the members’ time. The LEO club meets on Tuesdays at lunch (11:15) in
room 217. For those who have interest in this club, one of their favourite
sayings is “New Members are Always Welcome”.
To see what members of this club think, I have an interview of
a new member, Jasper:
Reporter: So
Jasper what do you think of this club?
Jasper: I think
this club is great, you can help people, have fun and get volunteer hours!
Reporter: How do
you think people hear about this club?
Jasper: I can’t
speak for other people, but I found out by the colourful posters throughout the
school, as well as current members informing me about LEO club.
Reporter: Are there any 'cons' of joining this club?
Jasper: Like any club, of course there are some cons! This means I'll have a shortened lunch a couple of days, and have to spend time after school to fund-raise. But hopefully the pros will overweight the cons.
Reporter: Are there any 'cons' of joining this club?
Jasper: Like any club, of course there are some cons! This means I'll have a shortened lunch a couple of days, and have to spend time after school to fund-raise. But hopefully the pros will overweight the cons.
Reporter:
Do
you plan on joining any other clubs?
Jasper: Not at
the moment, but next year, I plan on joining a couple more, such as the MUN
club.
Maybe next year, we’ll follow Jasper and tell you all about
the MUN club, and Jasper’s experience there.
There you have it guys, the whole inside scoop on the LEO
club. The LEO club is perfect for people of all interests. Whether you want to
help the community, need volunteer minutes or just want something to do with
your time. If you would like to join, feel free to go see what LEO really is
for yourself, on Tuesdays at room 217.
