Hello and welcome back to another swag AEP blog freshly done by yours truly hehe.. we did something new and quite meaningful. Our teacher, Ms. Disa, handed out a piece of paper and asked us to jot down objects that are important to us. These objects represent different aspects of our lives, almost like creating a personal "essence object board." It was an exercise in identifying the things that give us a sense of who we are.
The entire focus of this semester is to learn more about ourselves, and this activity really embodied that. Ms. Disa explained that our goal is to understand ourselves so deeply that we can confidently explain to colleges who we are and what makes us unique. This will help make strong personal statements when the time comes to apply. Honestly, I think this is really(really.. really) valuable, especially since we’re in our final year of high school. Knowing that we’re working on something so crucial for our future motivates me to put in extra effort.
Another cool and nostalgic thing (to be honest ) we’re doing this year is an "exit ticket" after each class. It's a quick reflection on what we’ve learned, and it brings back a bit of remembering from previous AEP classes, especially last year’s. It's like wrapping up each lesson with a thoughtful moment of reflection, helping us track our growth. But frankly its mostly just to help us write our reflections. hahahaha
The essence object activity was fascinating. We were guided by a speaker in a YouTube video, who walked us through the process. We had to list objects that remind us of important stages in our lives, like memories of our fathers, moments that shaped us, or things that scare us. It was fun but also made me think deeply about how these seemingly simple objects carry so much meaning in my life.
Quite a short entry, but very thankful for the new topic this sem. See you in the next one!
