Including All Friends

We started Working on the Including all friends badge recently, It is part of the A year in the life of Juliette series. This link has Including all friends in the month of September but the one we printed out has it as the month of March.
We started out this badge by having a most beautiful orange contest.

This was my Moms orange.

And this was mine, but guess what!

This is the orange that won the contest! It's the inside of the orange, and it could have been either of our oranges because it's not what's on the outside of the orange that matters. It's what's inside that counts! Just like real life and what's inside of you and me!
For the second item in the Discover area of this badge (I have to do 3) I chose to look up some definitions
Definition of disability
: a physical, mental, cognitive, or developmental condition that impairs, interferes with, or limits a person's ability to engage in certain tasks or actions or participate in typical daily activities and interactions
Scientists have tentatively linked the reading disability known as dyslexia to a bevy of brain disturbances. —Science News
How, with his severe disability, has Hawking been able to out-think and out-intuit his leading colleague-competitors … —Kip S. Thorne
Yet one ends up admiring him for his devotion to the disability that could have unmade his career as an actor. It is through his deafness that we hear his story. —Lennard J. Davis
also : impaired function or ability
Sarcopenia is a loss of muscle mass and strength that normally occurs with aging, and it's a major cause of frailty and disability in the elderly. —Andrew Weil
Thrombolytic therapy has been used in patients with acute ischemic stroke to restore cerebral blood flow, reduce ischemia, and limit neurologic disability. —Werner Hacke
— see also intellectual disability, learning disability
2
a (1) : an impairment (such as a chronic medical condition or injury) that prevents someone from engaging in gainful employment
… monthly payment to which a worker is entitled upon retirement or disability under the federal social security system … —Robert I. Mehr
(2) : an impairment (such as spina bifida) that results in serious functional limitations for a minor
b : a program providing financial support to a person affected by disability
… those who fit the criteria for dysthymia were more likely to have physical and emotional problems and more likely to be on Medicaid or Social Security disabilitythan those with acute depression. —Melinda Beck
also : the financial support provided by such a program
… he collects disability on account of his exposure to Agent Orange during his years as an Army MP in Vietnam. —Jason Fagone
3
: a disqualification, restriction, or disadvantage
economic disabilities
4
: lack of legal qualification to do something
To me a disability limits what people can do. Like being blind makes it hard to climb stairs or rock walls or read books. My Papa is having a hard time hearing out of one of his ears so sometimes he doesn't understand what I'm saying.
Definition of inclusion
1
: the act of including : the state of being included
: something that is included: such as: a gaseous, liquid, or solid foreign body enclosed in a mass (as of a mineral): a passive usually temporary product of cell activity (such as a starch grain) within the cytoplasm or nucleus
: a relation between two classes that exists when all members of the first are also members of the second — compare membership 3
: the act or practice of including students with disabilities in regular school classes
I think the Girl Scouts can be an Inclusive Organization by:
Considering each girl's abilities and what she can do in order to earn a badge. Like my cousin is in a wheel chair and wears leg braces. For her a long hike would be 1/4 mile while for me it might be 2 miles. The Girl Scouts could also consider everyone's limitations when planning an activity so that all girls can be included. Like I have a tomato allergy so I can't eat pizza with tomato sauce on it but I can eat pizza with white sauce. My troop always makes sure to order a pizza I can eat but one time I participated in a camp out with another troop and even though my mom told them ahead of time that I couldn't have tomatoes they still didn't get a pizza I could eat. I had to eat a sandwich instead. It made me sad and I felt left out because I love pizza.
The third choice was to create an I am special booklet. Both me and my mom made booklets about our likes and Dislikes then we compared them.

Here are our booklets

We discovered that we are similar in that we both have foods that we dislike. Like I'm not a big fan of bread and neither is my mom. We are different in someways because I love You Tube and my mom doesn't.

I am good at swimming while my mom likes photography. Also my handwriting could use some work while she says that she could be a better blogger.

I also completed the
Daisy/Brownie/Junior Level Disability Awareness Quiz Answer with True (T) or False (F) See if you can complete it correctly. I'll post the answers at the bottom of the page.
1. You can “catch” a disability from someone else. ____
2. People in wheelchairs cannot play sports. ____
3. People who talk slow or have a learning disability are not smart. ____
4. People who are blind can read. ____
5. People with disabilities don’t have the same feelings as people without disabilities. ___
6. People with disabilities cannot live by themselves. ____
7. Everyone who uses a wheelchair is unable to walk. ____
8. A person with a disability can get a job. ____

For the Connect portion of this badge I have to do 3 things.
The first thing I chose was to learn to sign the Alphabet in American Sign Language. This is one of those things that appears in a bunch of badges. So I chose it because I'm already learning slash know it.

The second thing we did was listen to some music we went to YouTube and found some music by Beethoven. We listened to Beethoven's 9th for a little while and then my mom told me that he wrote the entire thing even though he was Deaf! He couldn't hear it at all, but he felt the vibrations of the instruments when they were played. Then we listened to some music by Ray Charles. He is a famous modern day piano player. He is a good musician but not really my style. Even though we listened to him on Youtube there was no video so I didn't know he was blind until my mom told me. I think it would be very hard to learn to play the piano if you can't see the keys.
The third thing we did was the Understanding Differences Color Wheel- We looked at ourselves in the mirror and wrote down the colors that we saw. Then we made them into color wheels.

Here are my and my mom's color wheels.

We have some similarities, like we both have pink, brown, yellow and black in our wheels.

But we have differences too. I have blue and red while my mom has white and green. These wheels helped me to understand that everybody is different. I think that it would get pretty boring if everyone were the same.
For the Take action part of this badge I need to do 2 things. My first choice was to Take the R word pledge.
You can take the pledge yourself at: https://www.r-word.org/
My biggest problem with taking the pledge was that I had no clue what the R-word was to begin with. Once I found out I had no problem pledging not to say it, to be honest I probably won't remember what it is next week, which I think is a good thing. It may have been better than other similarly bad words at one point but now it is just as bad.
I also went to https://getintoit.specialolympics.org/students/support-card/ and made a card to support the Special Olympians. My mom couldn't figure out how to save it (not sure why) so I couldn't post it here.
The second project I chose was to create an ad campaign to educate the community about Inclusion. I couldn't find any examples so I hope we did it right. Of course one of the great things about inclusion is that it awards effort and I hope that I get an A for effort!
