Holiday Card Project.
What is the Holiday Card Project? The purpose of the Holiday card project is to create holiday cards for people who are hospitalized during the holiday season. The idea behind the project is to simply try to bring a little cheer to those who are undergoing hospital stay. Exactly who receives the cards? The cards will be distributed to both U.S. and international hospitals. The cards will be delivered in- person by a representative. The patients who receive the cards age range from children to seniors and have illness or injuries that vary from mild to terminal. What should I write on the card? Be as creative as you'd like. Just remember, the degree of illness for patients will vary, so it is important to be cheerful. Some suggested greetings include ''Hope you're feeling better", ''Thinking of you'', or ''Have a nice day''. Try to stay down from ''Get well soon'' as it might not be appropriate for all patients. Remember to include a message of ''Happy Holidays''. Will the patients know who sent the card? The only way a patient will know who the card is from if you sign your name. If you would like to send your card anonymously, you may. Can I send more card? Absolutely! However, remember that quality is better than quantity. Sending one quality card that you put time and effort into is better than sending two cards that were thrown together. Is there a specific size or medium for the card? There is no specific size for the cards. Use your best judgement. You can design and decorate cards by drawing, coloring or painting. You can use glitter, construction paper, cardboard, markers, crayons, colored pencils, ribbon, etc, to make your card special. You can also design your card using Photoshop. In Photoshop please use 4*6 or 5*7 for your dimensions.
African Proverb 9
An intelligent enemy is better than a stupid friend.
I believe that this african proverb means that it's for you to be smart than stupid. If the intelligent enemy is smarter than a friend i think that the enemy should be your friend. I believe that if you have in intelligent enemy, than i think you need to stay on your toes. My stupid friend can't tell me nothing so i need to pay attention to what's going on.
For example, i have a friend. He/ she has been friends with me for a very long time. And on the other side, i have an enemy and he/she is so intelligent. And my friend is stupid and he/she is telling stuff that i already know. I know that he/ she is very very tricky. So i have to stay aware and be on my guard. I mine as well just work by myself because my friend isn't helping me. So that's why i think an intelligent enemy is better than a stupid person.
