AEP Reflection 6 “21 with us:)”

 Welcome back readers to another reeeeflection~! Its a new week, new lesson. However, same guy! 

In our last meeting, we talked about how to go deeper with writing our personal statements. Miss gave us an exercise where we had to write 21 different facts about ourselves. These facts were supposed to be broad and cover various aspects of our lives. 


Honestly, the title has no relation with the reflection, but Ms please just take it as it is (hahaha)


So , Miss had us list 21 facts about ourselves, which I thought would be easy, but it turned out to be harder than expected. However, I enjoyed the process. Interestingly, I like personal writing, and I think it all started because of my uncle’s cat. When I was younger, I’d write funny stories about the cat’s adventures espeilly in our house. It was my way of capturing the little moments I enjoyed, which helped me find joy in personal storytelling.


For my 21 facts, I wanted to include fun things like how I enjoy sketching people I see in cafes and how I’m always trying out new art “stuff” . But the nature of the work didnt allow it actually. On the contrary, It made me think more about my personality if anything. Which was really interesting to be because I have always gave somehow robotic answers when answering what I like the most. Oh yeah, I definitely like art, or music, or something like that. But in the end I ended up choosing words which I was shocked at myself for choosing. I mean, I have always gave importance to leadership.. but never would I have imagined that I actually take it so seriously. I know it sounds ironic, but this was insanely eye opening (for many reasons).. 


Looking back, I can see how these small details form a more interesting story than I realized. Miss reminded us that just saying, “I’ve always wanted to be an artist,” isn’t enough. It’s important to show the journey and experiences behind that desire. This activity gave me a lot of insight into how I should approach my personal statement, and now I’m excited to see how mine will turn out. Even though I don’t have fancy awards, I feel like my experiences will still make for a unique essay.


I’ll try my best with my personal statement, even if that will be after a good year.. good luck to us, seniors!

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...
