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

First blog of the year! This blog includes the padlet of many, many AEP meetings.  Last padlet of the year (December 10, 2024). On that day, we didn't do much, just played games. We first played Scrabble (which Selim won) and then played Waffle. Had fun that day. First padlet of the year (January 7, 2025). The break went by so quickly, it didn't feel like 2 weeks at all. I wish it was longer. Anyways, at the start of the class, Miss Disa asked us about the lessons she taught us and if we learned/remembered anything from it. After that, we played Scrabble once more. Somehow Selim beat us again. Selim is insanely lucky in Scrabble for some reason. He had nearly double everyone's score. He had around 120 something points if I remember correctly. We then played Contexto after we finished playing Scrabble. I enjoyed AEP and had a lot of fun. Missed lying on my bed though. Second padlet (January 14, 2025). The class began with us playing Unlimited Wordle. It looked and seemed lik...

Busra D (AEP 3.1)

ITS ALREADY 3ND TRIMESTER THAT IS CRAZY. Time goes by so fast like flash I’m excited and nervous at the same time for this 3rd trimester!!  This time I will do my blog different , I’ll just explain what we did most of the time in AEP. Before we get to the main part of our topic of game we always play word puzzles to get our mind moving, it helps us not sleep in AEP heh. Sometimes we also play scrabble which is really fun. I lost my streak sadly :( Jia is really good I’m usually 2nd place. One of my core memorize is dogo news miss makes it so fun to read and has interesting topics ( just like the banana taped on the wall) it will never get out of my mind. We also do listening tasks which is alright I guess. Well anyways this 2nd trimester went by so fast hope to see you next time byeee!!!.

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...
