Reflection 2 - Hong

 Mental wellbeing was never really my top priority in life. I never really bothered to think of anything regarding this as I'm pretty much satisfied with what I have. Apparently some aren't so satisfied like I am. Regardless of that, we had our second lesson regarding mental health. I've always thought stuff like depression is just people being sad or people overexaggerating their emotions just to attention. Matter of fact I used to have this mindset since 7th grade that I constantly made fun of this subject. While I haven't really changed my viewpoint that much on the subject, I did learn some things about mental health which I previously didn't know.

The article I had been given talked about reasons why ones mental health could diminish and methods on how to improve your wellbeing. Mostly it talked about the basic stuff that everyone knows, such as proper sleep schedules, having social interactions, and performing meditation. One thing that really stuck out to me was talking about things you are grateful for to a friend or someone else. It really felt odd as it just happened to be some sort of funny joke at this point. I mean I did try it and it just came out as awkward, but it really just reminded me of this anime I watched where a character punches the air a thousand times per day to show gratitude or something. Really odd.

Although my view on mental wellness hasn't changed a bit, I do understand more about it and I learned that mine is probably fine, or at least I think it is. I haven't killed anyone yet so I most likely don't suffer from some massive traumatic event that will haunt me for the rest of my life yet.

Aleena Imran - BLOG #3.2 - Grade 9

  I honestly cannot believe we are already halfway through the third term, it feels like we started it yesterday. This will be one of the last blogs we’ll be writing for the school year, which seems so crazy. As much as I’m not fond of writing blogs, it’s still a reminder that we shared our moments together in AEP.   March 5, 2025 -  An Off-Board Warmup? This warmup was unlike our other ones. We usually have our warmups on the board, such as Wordle, Hurdle or waffle. But this time, all we had on the board was a map. Everyone had to state one sentence about the two maps shown on the screen, but there was a plot twist, you had to remember what the previous person stated and add on to it. As more people stated their sentences, it only got difficult, it meant you had to remember more sentences, but in the correct order. I wasn’t able to remember the sentences in order, but I still enjoyed watching other students struggling to remember the sentences.  Later on, we g...

Abracadabra — Leo Blog 3.2

 This term, we've begun with a list of terms related to environment, ranging from the devastating crises happening around the globe to the lovely descriptions of catastrophes caused by man. While it's a very fun and a not-so content-heavy topic, it reminds us that we can't say ' abracadabra ' to felled trees and watch as they rise from the ashes of our ancestors. Well, it's a shame, really. Would've loved to see some of the forests and wildlife that existed before the world began pumping steam and breathing coal. The first thing we did when we got to the third term was pairing words to form collocations. There were a variety of them, 42 collocations to be exact, and we had to figure them out. Most were easy, words we knew were things like 'climate change' or 'heat wave', but some were new. 'Paddy farming', 'septic tanks' and other words were quite interesting. Unfortunately, I wasn't there for the AEP period the week after...

End and the start of term!

Helloooo everyone! Welcome with another blast! See, your favorite blogger is not late this time!!! And that is because it's just the start of another term, and the workload from school is quite light. Can you believe it's the last term already?? I am still in disbelief—only 2/3 of grade 11 is left, and then our final year of high school... I don't even want to think about it! We have learned a lot of things in AEP last term, including discovering new games and learning a lot more of Miss Disa's fun anecdotes. AEP this year has taught me a lot of technical terms as we have been getting lessons on very niche and specific topics. You know how a word appears a lot when you newly learn it? Now, due to my expansion of vocabulary, I started seeing the words I am learning everywhere, and that brings a bit of peace in me, as I think, well, I am learning something. We had worksheets on Healthcare, Crime and Punishment, Business, and Politics. My favorite among them was the health...
