Way back in December, one of my students responded to a reflective question posed to the class (see post in February). She has written another response to make us think...
"Why is the sky blue? Well if u ask a scientist they would probably say because molecules in the air scatter blue light more than red light. But I'm no scientist so what I'm about to say is probably gonna be a little different. There are so many questions in the world with not so many answers and this is one of those questions. It's so simple but so complicated at the same time but it really gets you thinking. I feel like the sky is like our feelings. You know the sky isn't only blue sometimes it can be pink, orange, purple or even different shades of blue! I think this is like our feelings because u don't think the sky chooses to be orange or pink it just happens and the sky can't control that just like our feelings. Sometimes we want to be happy be we just feel sad and don't know how to change that. Just like the sky and it can also have 2 of more colours in it like purple and red so we might want to be brave and strong but we can't help it but be scared and lost. We can't control if we fall in love or break down in tears so we're just gonna have to make the best of it. If it was the pain that destroyed us we'd already be dead, so why is the sky blue you ask because it decided to be happy today."
