reflection 5

 During our last AEP meeting, the topic was all about crafting standout college essays and identifying the values that resonate with us the most. Our teacher gave each of us a list of values and asked us to select ten that we felt deeply connected to. She emphasized how important it is to choose values that truly reflect who we are, as this helps bring authenticity and personal insight into our writing. By weaving these values into our college essays, we can create something that not only stands out but also feels deeply genuine to the admissions readers.


To be honest, I don’t remember all the values I chose since it’s been almost a week, but one value that has stuck with me is privacy. For me, privacy is essential. It’s not just about keeping things to myself but about having control over what parts of my life I choose to share. In a world where everyone seems to want to know everything, privacy allows me to keep a sense of peace and autonomy. Nothing is more frustrating than feeling like someone is prying into matters I’d rather keep private. There’s power in being able to decide what to reveal and when, and that’s something I truly value. Privacy allows for self-reflection without the pressure of others’ opinions, giving me the space to grow and understand myself better without external influence.


The exercise was given the same by the same person as last week's person with the great intro and the drums. Miss played the audio from her speaker and we did the exercise. Other than that, I felt like the exercise was really fun because it gave me a time to really think about what I really like and feel what's important in my life.  That's it for my reflection 5 this week yayaayay!!!!

Aleena Imran - BLOG #3.2 - Grade 9

  I honestly cannot believe we are already halfway through the third term, it feels like we started it yesterday. This will be one of the last blogs we’ll be writing for the school year, which seems so crazy. As much as I’m not fond of writing blogs, it’s still a reminder that we shared our moments together in AEP.   March 5, 2025 -  An Off-Board Warmup? This warmup was unlike our other ones. We usually have our warmups on the board, such as Wordle, Hurdle or waffle. But this time, all we had on the board was a map. Everyone had to state one sentence about the two maps shown on the screen, but there was a plot twist, you had to remember what the previous person stated and add on to it. As more people stated their sentences, it only got difficult, it meant you had to remember more sentences, but in the correct order. I wasn’t able to remember the sentences in order, but I still enjoyed watching other students struggling to remember the sentences.  Later on, we g...

Abracadabra — Leo Blog 3.2

 This term, we've begun with a list of terms related to environment, ranging from the devastating crises happening around the globe to the lovely descriptions of catastrophes caused by man. While it's a very fun and a not-so content-heavy topic, it reminds us that we can't say ' abracadabra ' to felled trees and watch as they rise from the ashes of our ancestors. Well, it's a shame, really. Would've loved to see some of the forests and wildlife that existed before the world began pumping steam and breathing coal. The first thing we did when we got to the third term was pairing words to form collocations. There were a variety of them, 42 collocations to be exact, and we had to figure them out. Most were easy, words we knew were things like 'climate change' or 'heat wave', but some were new. 'Paddy farming', 'septic tanks' and other words were quite interesting. Unfortunately, I wasn't there for the AEP period the week after...

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...
