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!

Blog 3.3 Almira

 I haven’t written a blog for quite a long time, and I also haven’t attended aep class for 3 weeks because I went to vacation in Boracay and there was the Musicals and the most recent one was the Holy week, to be honest I dont really remember what we did for aep for the past few weeks I was in class and as long as I can remember we did scrabble and did our seatwork. I dont know what to write about since I dont have anything to talk about the class since I was absent for quite a long time, anyways for the past few weeks I was  absent from aep class I did some cool activities and visited two different islands.  Roughly two weeks ago, I went to Boracay for vacation since it was Eid so we decided to go there for a week I had so much fun there and I really enjoyed it because I went snorkelling and did some other water sports activities. Now the second time I was absent for aep was because of the musicals, it was techinacally a holiday but I think I kinda enjoyed it unfortunate...

the cost of giving up — Leowyn Blog 3.3

 Today was the assignment of the final, retrospective blog we would do to encapsulate everything we've seen and learnt in AEP for Grade 11. It's a miracle I'm still smiling across the hallways, filled with days where I'm really just like "what is happening?" This year has really went by so fast and so soon, so here I am, in the final stretch of the year, seeking solace in the summer break (which I won't be getting due to college applications and my AS Levels.) Here's the rundown of what we've done in each term, paired with the titles of my blogs on those terms: Term One: eternal sunshine, ***Flawless, The Joker, Repeat Term 1 was one of the most grueling terms for me in AEP, mainly because of the unit topics. Learning business terms and political terms even though I explicitly said, to everyone in my life, I would never touch a business topic ever again ... but there I was, running around with 'gerrymandering' in my head 24/7. It was good p...

3.2

Helloooo!!! How is everyone?? Yup, I am late again, like always — and this time, I really am not sure what to write, as I am constantly getting demolished every day with Cambridge. If you were wondering where I was all this time… well, I was just doing past papers!! OKAY — so this blog was due weeks ago, and the reason I missed it (it’s not procrastination this time!!) is that I was absent during the last two weeks of classes that semester. For one of them, we had our stats mock for Cambridge, which I wonderfully failed, and for the next absence… I don't even remember what happened to me. Maybe I was just dead doing all the past papers. Sorry, Miss Disa — I began procrastinating midway!! Well, I’m going to finish this now. This semester, we started doing lessons on environmental words. It was a pretty easy chapter and fun lessons! Too bad I missed most of them. Anyway, on the first day, Miss Disa gave us some random cut-out words that go together. Me, Meral, and Sashmeen were in ...
