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!!!!

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...
