Boori "Monty" Pryor's

What i saw.. I saw a man called Boori, who was one of the funniest peple i've ever met in my life. I wanted to recommend him to become a comedian, but i could see how much he enjoyed what he was already doing! What i heard.. I heard so many funny jokes, heart felt stories, and i even got to hear a didgeridoo. :) What i felt.. I felt like i understood Aboriginal people a lot more then i ever have. They are an amazing bunch of people, with millions of funny & true stories. What i learned... was that Aboriginals did not deserve what happened to them & they knew that, therefore they deserved a lot more respect than they got. I learned that Boori is hilairous, he had a way of telling true stories, and making them seem funny, but we still got to understand that sometimes it wasn't funny at all. He was an amazing story teller.

Listening to Boori taught me that everyone is human, therefore everyone deserves to be treated exactly the same. The Aboriginal people didnt recieve that level of respect, although they probably deserved it more then anyone.


 * MY PERSONAL REFLECTION!**

Over my time doing the Wiki page i learnt a lot about Sikhism. When i was asked to choose two symbols I chose the Earth picture, and the key picture. When i was thinking about which symbols to choose, I figured that studying Sikhism has __unlocked__ knowlegde to the __world__ that i never knew before. That is why I chose the key and the world. My backup symbol would've been the stop sign. I looked at that for a long time, wondering why it was in with all the other images. Then i figured it had made me stop and think, and that is exactly what Sikhism made me do. It made me stop and think about the world, along with a lot of other things. Studying Sikhism has been a pretty big challenge. Not only because there was a lot of work involved, but just because being the group leader, on top of everything else, was kind of difficult for me to deal with. Even though when I asked my group members to do something for me they happily (I was lucky, I got a good group) obliged, it was still difficult. Mainly because I didn't know when I was asking too much of my group, or if I should just do it myself. I was very proud of my group, I thought we all worked really well together, plus we got the Wiki done! My understanding of Sikhism has deepened immensely, as well as my understanding of the world and its varied teachings. This unit has been a very positive experience, although it was challenging. I learnt a lot about Sikhism, the world and myself.
