Emotions aren't good or bad. They are messages

 Today for Wananga we've been talking about different types of emotions (bad emotions and good emotions). 

(Bad emotions)

I reckon that depression is probably one of the worst, upsetting emotion that anyone could ever go through!. The reason why I say this is because for me myself I've gone through depression and honestly, its not a good feeling. It messes up your brain by over reacted, thinking about bad memories that's happened in the past. I'm gonna be telling you what depression is like for me and how it started. 

So last year in March (13th) I tragically lost my dad. Having that type of experience is really hard. I guess ever since then I haven't felt the same. That's when the feeling (depression) finally came into my life. I kept on thinking about all of the bad stuff that I've done over the past years. I kept on thinking about suicide because of how I lost my dad. 

I got through all of the negative/bad emotions by family been helping me and friends that are supporting me.

That's a type of feeling that people go through, Its really to get out of the negative/depression side. Some feeling could be less negative like just Angry, Sad, Lonely, Upset and many more. 

(Good emotions) 

 Good emotions are emotions that make you happy, Its a emotions that is easily to control because there's no bad thoughts/negative emotions around. There's times where I could feel like I can do anything because I feel so alive. When I'm playing football/Soccer I feel like I'm in a good mood because its something that I love doing for life.

Words that share the same feeling as good emotions:

Positive.

Happy.

Excited.

Alive.

Joy and many more.

Social Studies - Spirituals/slaves.

Use of Spirituals

The use of spirituals was that it gave them hope. Music was a way for slaves to express their feelings whether it was sorrow, joy, inspiration or hope. Songs were passed down from generation throughout the time of slavery. These songs were controlled by African and religious tradition.

Harriet Tubman

Harriet Tubman was a famous slave helper and used songs to message slaves and help African slaves escape the border, they would go trough the rivers to remove the scent because the dogs could track them down. Thousands of people got saved and became free because of one lady, there were several slave helpers but the most of popular was Harriet Tubman because of all of the people that she helped. They travelled from the south to the north of America, which was the safe part of America because they could be free. The Africa slave swore not to return. Harriet Tubman did this over and over again helping many more people.

Spiritual Message (Highlights)

One of the songs that they would sing was "Steal Away"

Chorus: steal away, steal away!

Steal away to Jesus? 

Steal away, steal away home!

I ain't got long to stay here!

My Lord calls me!

He calls me from the thunder!

The trumpet sound it in my soul!

I ain't got long to stay here! 

My lord calls me!

He calls me by the lighting!

The trumpet sound it in my soul!

I ain't got long to stay here!
