Integrity...

Integrity. What does it mean and how does it fit into this week’s blog?
Our bloggers leaned that integrity means the quality of being honest in values. Let’s see how they incorporate this word into their blogs today.
 
 
Hello friends, 

Today's topic is a challenge; we have to use the word "integrity" in our blog. Have you heard that word before? 

I researched what the word integrity means on Google. It means to be honest like telling the truth and not lying. I showed integrity by doing the right thing in “Handmade” – an Umbrella program,  like following the rules when Cindy says time to do gratitude journal.  I will take my journal book straight away and start writing what I am grateful for and I always share exactly what I write in my journal book. I also show integrity by listening to my “Handmade” friends when they share their weekend and what they’re grateful for. 

It is important to show integrity in life like at school, work or at home. I also show integrity when I work at Woolworths, I always help customers if they are stuck with something. If they asked me what aisle is the baby stuff I tell them the correct aisle, if I am not sure about something I always ask my manager that's part of integrity too. 

I show integrity at home by doing my chores properly that my parents asked me to do. For example: Every weekday I get mums towel and put it in the bathroom because she has a morning shower before work. 

How do you show integrity? – Jacinda.
 
 
The word is integrity today and that means being trust. I don’t trust anyone who being kidnapped or anything but I do trust my only good friends. Them I trust.  But sometimes I don’t trust people use money, we all have to respect each other and respect your friends too, responsible for everything you have on you phone or wallet or your things, people need to be caring for each other and friendly. – TJ
 
 
My blog is about integrity and how people are kind. It's a tricky word but I'll try. People are kind to me by being happy at me like hugs. Smiling is happy too. If someone has integrity it means they are honest and are a decent person. I am honest, l am a decent person, kind and special. Someone who has integrity treats other people fairly, no matter what. Someone with integrity has trust.
I would want to help someone if they are not being treated fair and help them. I have integrity. – Claire
 
What is integrity?
According to the whiteboard in our blogging room, integrity means the quality of being honest in values. Now blogging with integrity is something that I try to do because being honest, transparent and ethical in my literary talents is important to me. Just like everyone else I am human and I won’t always get it right though I do try very hard.
 
I believe that doing all things with integrity is important, it is just really important to be true to yourself and kind to yourself and others. I believe that we all should be empathetic towards others and at least try to lead with kindness, especially in writing.
I try really hard to be a good and kind person everyday, I think that most days I do a pretty good job but as I’ve said before I am only human. We all make mistakes in life and I believe it’s a great opportunity to learn and grow.
 
In life we don’t know what other people are going through and it’s important to take this into account on this journey we call life. While I’m sure I have many stories and experiences that would be prime examples of showing integrity, I am mindful of leaving space for my fellow bloggers.

Today I’m hoping that everyone has a wonderful day and please treat yourself with kindness.
Your friend always,
Shan.
 
 
Integrity has a few meanings and today I am talking about integrity in physics and the Titan submersible.
The dictionary meaning for integrity means to maintain strength, stability and overall functional under various conditions.

I will be sharing with you the story of the Titan which imploded on the 18th June 2023 whilst searching for the ship Titanic. The reason this happened, experts believe the carbon fibre used to construct the hull cracked under deep-sea pressure. Therefore lost integrity. There were five very rich and powerful businessmen onboard the Titan when it imploded, unfortunately if the right materials were used whilst building the submarine this disaster would never had happened. – Nick
 
 
I’ll be talking about a person with the most integrity, and she is my Nanna Shirley. She’s the most kindest soul and wouldn’t hurt a fly. I only knew her for sixteen years,  but those sixteen years were the greatest.   Shirley had 6 siblings, Don, Jean, Keith, Ian, Audrey and Kenner. Before my Dad and Uncle came along, she had a baby girl called “Shirley Ann” unfortunately she passed away when she was five, from kidney failure. No parent should go through losing a child, but eventually in the 60s, Shirley and Bob her husband, adopted my dad, and later on they adopted my uncle. Which to me, is the kindest thing people can do. Is to raise someone else’s child as their own. 

From memory, I remember walking home from primary school, and I saw Shirley waiting for my two brothers and myself, she sat with us until my parents came home from work.  Shirley never drove, so we didn’t go on any driving adventures, but just spending time with her was just amazing. 
 
When we would go over to her house, she has a Mintie jar filled with Minties, we would take some, I’m sure she knew, but she would still give us some. Even when we did chores like picking the veggies from the garden, she would give us a $1 or $2. 
 
When she got older, she developed dementia, but she was still the kindest soul, and just needed extra help, so she went into an aged care facility. My dad would still see her almost every weekend, you could say they had a close bond. 
 
My dad and I were on a scout camp we got home a little late, but we made it down to hospital in time to see her. She passed away that night, so we are still very grateful to see her for the last time. 
 
So there you go, my Nanna is the person with the most integrity who I’ve ever met.
But I’m sure if anyone had met her, they would say the same thing.

There were no nasty bones in her body whatsoever. I hope in your lifetime, you meet someone as nice and with as much integrity as her.

Cindy has integrity, she has responsibility for her staff and participants at Umbrella Support. She shows moral responsibility every time she does and does team building with everyone. Cindy has the biggest personality, she is very knowledgeable about her work. 
 
Krystle has shown me some values towards me and others and I’m very grateful for Krystle’s honesty helping me with seeing Southern Sons in Geelong. 
 
I show respect to my family members and my friends. Which means I too, have integrity. – Ash
 
 
Dear readers, this week's topic is about integrity.
Let me start by telling you about the word integrity and what it means to me. Someone who shows me integrity is my mum. It means to be honest, kind, loving and nice. I am lucky to have an amazing mum who shows me honesty, love and kindness everyday of mine and my sister's life. I love and appreciate her and I'm very grateful for her because she does so much. I wonder how she can do it all. She is like Wonder Woman sometimes and last week she posted on social media a very special post on a special day.
I want the world to know I look up to her. – Charlotte
 
 
Hi friends how are you? Today’s topic is about integrity and what it means to me. Readers, I have a question for you, have you heard of the word integrity? That was the challenge word given to us by Cindy and we had to use it in our blog. 
What does it mean to me? 

It means people who I can trust and to be honest and kind. It is someone who is willing to listen and who is open to helping others and show loyalty. I have a support worker who is very kind and I trust her and she is very honest with me.

She is very open to helping me and sometimes my other friends too. Just smiling at me is nice and shows she is loyal and she is my favourite support worker (as well as Cindy, Bernie ,Delia ,Chrissie and Deni, and Krystle (who is the cooking teacher and support worker and helping me today).

Another person who shows me integrity is my Mum who does so much for me. She just makes me feel safe and independent and I feel so loved by my mum who smiles at me and I smile back at her. She makes me feel better when I’m not in the best of moods. She is the best Mum.

Thank you for reading my blog this is popstar Beth signing off until next week.
 
 
Hello and welcome to an integral part of my working week. Today I’d like to talk about integrity in sport. There have been plenty times where integrity in sport has been called into question. From Sandpaper gate in 2018 to Lance Armstrong in  2012 and also the salary cap saga for the Melbourne Storm in 2007.

Horse racing is in my opinion is the biggest culprit as they allow gambling on every race every day. Another big example of integrity in sport is betting.  With the rise of gambling, I worry for the integrity in sport and how far people will go to have financial gain.
 
Bookies make so much money and manipulate results so easy. I believe that gambling is way too accessible to the general public and this causes way too many people to fall into debt and this causes family harm.
 
Sportsbet is a bad example of how they use comedians and celebrities to promote themselves. I think the government has been really lazy in policing this and this is part of the problem I think a great start to resolving this issue would be to stop showing the odds on TV and around the ground and tax each bet. What would you do if you had the power?  How can people who work for betting companies really believe that they enjoy their job?  Does the time spent suspended really fit the crime?
 
Keep being awesome and always gamble and drink responsibly  - Ben
