Reflection of "night" Written by Elie Wiesel

Bad Fitness Reflection
To be honest, before I started P.E I didn't really acknowledge being fit. I wasn't aware of what being fit really meant.

Reflecting on Justice
Reflecting on Justice The word “Justice” is often misconceived as a drawn line defining what’s right and what’s wrong. Its definition is sometimes perceived as a black and white issue, where no grey area exists. To me, however, this extensive word is based on a moral principle which is then utilized to determine righteous conduct. This moral concept is sometimes controversial. One’s belief may be different than another. Thus allowing, as the previously referred to:
