My Brain is Like a Control Centre by Tim

-

How does my brain work? My brain is like a business building or like a university or like a control centre so there's a bunch of rooms and they all control different parts of my body and my brain. For example, there is movement, memories, my internal thoughts, how I act, etc and in all those rooms instead of people in a university, it's all my emotions and personalities. For example, there is focus, stress and fear, creativity, etc.

All of the emotions/personalities have jobs to do within a day and sometimes they are called to go off schedule because as I've learned, not everything goes according to plan. For example, if my teacher says, “Hey Tim, you have new assignment,” so then the schedule changes.

In the memory section of my brain, there is one room called reminders. This is where all the ideas that I have go when I forget them. Some memories or ideas will temporarily leave but they always come back. I like to think of my memories or ideas as balloons because just like an idea, you will get one, let go by accident, and eventually it will come back.

The balloons in my head need a little push or reminder to come back down. Here are different ways of being reminded of something. For example, I forget to eat my lunch and someone says, “Hey look there's an apple tree outside.” That reminds me of an apple, which reminds me of apple slices, which reminds me of the apple slices in my lunch, and then I remember that I forgot to eat my lunch.

A way to stop the process of forgetting ideas from happening is by writing it down. Once a balloon has come down, I only have so much time before I let it go. If I write it down, the notes and drawings are like heavy rocks or a bag of sand that holds the balloon down.

This is just a glimpse of my brain. There is so much more to learn but for now thank you for
reading and have a nice day.

    Even if this didn't have your name on it, I would know that this post was by you, Tim! I'm so proud of you for reflecting on how your brain works and for continuing to develop this metaphor that really helps others understand you and your processes. Thanks for sharing.

Thought and Emotions are like Snowballs by Bella

Thoughts and emotions are like snowballs; if you don’t stop them from rolling down a hill, they get bigger. If you’re upset, but you don’t find the cause or solution, and leave it lingering instead, then it will keep getting bigger and bigger until it smacks you in the face, hard. However, if you stop the snowball, you can stop the negative emotion or thought. But snowballs aren’t all bad. Sometimes they can be good, like when you’re with a really good friend, and you tell an inside joke and you both start laughing. You’re bouncing off of each other’s energy and happiness, and you can’t stop laughing. That’s also the snowball effect.   It might be hard at first, but one way to control your thoughts and emotions is by trying to become more self-aware of them. To really try to identify why you’re feeling a certain way, and really be in the mindset of ‘Okay, so I’m feeling this way, why am I feeling like this?’ Once you’ve answered that, you can move on to asking yourself ‘What...

How It Feels to Be the “Bad Kid” By Michael

In grade 2, I started getting in trouble all the time because I didn’t really like school. I thought there were more fun things to do, so I did them. I got in trouble for that. The teacher was making the kids do normal school stuff like writing, math, French and reading. I would talk when I wasn’t supposed to or just play around at my desk instead of working. When someone would find me doing those things, they would send me to the hall. I would play hockey with a pencil and paper ball. That was better than being in the classroom. I would always stay outside longer than I was supposed at recess to and hide in my locker instead of going to class. Then, either my teacher or another teacher would see me. They would assume that I was just misbehaving. Really, I didn’t want to go into the class and do my work. I didn’t think I could do a good job at it. I felt bad about myself. They would say, “Go to the office.” I told myself I didn’t really care. Everyone started thinking I was ...
