That's an interesting thought Maddie. Even though I'm a lot older than you and have had lots more life experiences I'm really not sure what I think. However what I do know is that when things go wrong and I am sad or unhappy or disappointed I try to think of it as an opportunity to learn rather than just bad luck or bad timing. So I guess you could interpret that as trying to accept things and think that whatever happened was for a reason and that I should try to learn from it rather than wallowing in my disappointment or unhappiness. So I guess in that case I do think that things happen for a reason. What do you think?

I think that everything does happen for a reason. I Whether it's a bad thing or a good thing, I believe this is true. Its like 1 flower dies for another to grow. You learn from things that happen to or around you, and that could be a good or bad thing. Maddi, that is a really tough question!!
yeah. i reckon. things lead up to up others then they lead to others.
it goes on and on. other wise we'd all b idiots and wouldn't learn from our mistakes.
yes everything happens for a reason.

I dont know...
Some people think they do-and they probably do, but some people don't think so.
They probably do, thats why people just take oppurtunities for granted...
I do believe everything happens for a reason, whether it's good or bad; because we learn from our mistakes and if we dont, we learn nothing. So thats why I believe everything happen's for a reason.

Hi Terry, the article is ready to go, how would you like me to give it to you... I could just paste the text into one of these discussions or I could maybe email it to you?
Thanks,
Maddi
Oh and I am sure the article needs editing so I don't mind i...
Hi Terry,
Sorry i haven't had a lot of time to go on lately because it is that time of year where it is really busy. I have finished the article and I will send it to year sometime during the next week. Yes it is fantastic that Julie has picked up...
Hi Julie,
Yes I was one of the reperasentatives for Wedderburn College last year. You can definitely use that for your article and I am sure the picture is fine to use to. I will get back to you soon but I am currently in class!
Thank you,
Maddi
Maddi, I have been reading with interest your conversation with Terry over the past few weeks, and also the conversations in this discussion that have spanned over a year now!
I am also writing an article for the ISTE Learning and Leading Magazine...
