Reflection 5 -- SEM 1 -- Adi

 During the last meeting, we continued our discussions regarding how to properly structure a college essay while also choosing different values that resonate with our person the most. Miss encouraged everyone to think about their personal values and how those connect to their life stories. The goal was to help everyone create essays that not only flow well but also reflect who they really are and what they believe in. By mixing a solid structure with genuine personal insights, it was aimed to help everyone write essays that really stand out to colleges.

It took me a while to chose values for myself since I struggled to think of which ones resonate with me the most. Some options seemingly "jump" at you easily, while others seem to just blend in. It took me a while to finally pick ones that suit me the most before I settled for mine.

We had to pick 10 different options first and I picked: My country, Adventure, Laughter, Art, Knowledge, Independence, Challenges, Privacy, Equity, and Healthy boundaries. I couldn't think much of a reason as to why these values stuck out to me the most but I felt as though they are the ones that best represent me as a person. 

Then Miss (I think?) told us to pick 3 values from what we have chosen that we consider our top three. I chose: Knowledge, Privacy, and Challenges as the three that I think I have upheld most in my life.

The speaker guy specified that we have to pick 5 different values that we wanted more of in our life. Now, I wasn't aware that we had to pick from the options we have chosen before (since the ones I chose were values that I consider are already fulfilled somehow), so I chose values that I haven't picked yet: Excitement, Love, Authenticity, Loyalty, Gratitude.

The last I remember of it is when the speaker from the video told us to pick one last value from our list as our top 1, the one we consider the most important value for us, for at least today.

I chose: Excitement.

We were promptly told to explain why this value was so important to us and how we can start maintaining it more in my life. I briefly wrote on the paper how this value represents my want for something more in my life, how I strive to have more passion and fun. It's a very abstract idea, honestly, but it was what spoke to me most at the time.

Anyways, that was all for this meeting. 

Thank you for reading!

"Before The Coffee Gets Cold" by Toshikazu Kawaguchi || Book Synopsis

In a hidden café tucked away in all the bustle of Tokyo, disconsolate patrons are given the rare chance to travel back in time. But, there’s a catch: they must return to the present before the coffee in front of them cools, or risk losing themselves eternally in the past.  " Before The Coffee Gets Cold ", a novel by author Toshikazu Kawaguchi, tells of four heartwarming, contemplative tales of a magical cafe's patrons that all interweave in the most little, yet enchanting ways. The first, a forlorn woman who seeks to mend a strained relationship before it becomes irrevocably broken, while the second hopes to acquire an explanation from a departed companion. A third character wishes to revist and undo a moment of regret, and the final traveler longs for one final brush with someone they had lost. The immutable and all-consuming nature of time unveils itself as each of the four's journeys progress, gently guiding them to acceptance.  The book uses charming prose juxtapo...

AEP Reflection 5 “Deep and meaningful”

Welcome back you all to another AEP blog! Today, Ill try my best to express things through words! Probably! Today was crazy.. currently in my car and I think I have to word things well here.. So, lets get started!  Today in AEP class, the atmosphere was calm, with the usual quietness filling the room. It felt like a regular session as we were handed a single sheet of paper for the activity just like the last meeting. This simplicity was becoming a pattern~and I found comfort in it.  As we settled in, the familiar voice from Ms. Disa’s phone once again guided us through the task. This time, we were presented with a checklist that asked us to select words we believed best described who we are. On the back of the sheet, the task became more challenging, as we had to choose the words that we felt defined us “perfectly”. It made me think harder about what truly represents me. When it came time for me to reflect, I chose family, art, and leadership. It was difficult to narrow down t...
