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 3.3 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 ...
